I'm going to be in Australia this fall and was wondering what board prices are like there. Would I be able to save any money by buying a board there instead of here (US)? I need a new travel bag anyway so I could avoid paying airline fees both ways. I'm assuming certain companies will be more/less expensive depending on the country, and I really want a Haydenshapes board but they're just so expensive here. Another brand I was looking at is Formula Energy (Dave Rastovich rides them) and I'm pretty sure they don't exist in the eastern US.
dood - do what you want but i'm pretty sure quantas DOES NOT CHARGE extra for boards if part of ones' allotted baggage.
