As you all know i have been waiting for my board for quite some time now and it has finally arrived :D , it is not as light as i expected it to be but that doesnt matter, anything will be lighter than the mbs board i currently have, when i get the foot straps on it i will let you all know what i think of it, but from first impressions it is a really good board. but customs did get in to me though, they charged me $103.68 for what i dont understand. any way am glad to have my board,

think its got to do with the invoice on the package. i got a break for my mbs board sent from oz to sweden and got slugged about $50A because it was sent from a company and had the invoice on it.. if it had been sent disguised as a present or just a package it might not have been hit with the import tax.. but it still worked out cheaper than buying it here so i cant complain..

I got it from BHI direct. This was due to a special arrangement i had with BHI. I get the rest of my BHI goods from Adam at MMB.

I guess i just got lucky with customs. But then again, i have imported a truck load of stuff over the years, kites, Radio controlled models, clothes and have never got done by customs. I don't see why i would. None of the stuff is hugely expensive and i'm not reselling it. Its for private use.

BTW, the BHI carbon pro is farking awsome!
