What state are you coming too? do you just want links for mountainboards???

anyway I would very highly recommend http://www.kitepower.com.au

Also this is a really good mountainboard shop too, but they dont do anything with kites if that matters. http://www.munroboards.com

Also here is a Queensland brand of mountainboards http://www.dirttheory.com/

If your interested in getting a second hand one check this place: http://www.ausatb.org/cgi-bin/YaBB/YaBB.cgi This is a mountainboarding forum and there are quite a large number of boards in the For Sale section

Hope that helps, there more boarding links I can post of you want. And also if you want any kiting websites just holla

how much are you wanting to spend? ill sell you a board and a kite for 700
it is a mbs grass hopper and a 2,5 bullet, that has only been flown once in barely enough wind to keep it up so basically it still has the wrinkles in it.

let me know if you are interested

Hi
I am looking to spend no more $275 as I can get a good starter board here for about that price.

Checked out the links thanks, just after a rough price for cheap boards.

Are there any rules and reg's on flying In Australia? ie (no flying before midday etc)

Probably be moving to either Mel/Geelong or Adelaide depending on the work front

Cheers
Glenn

i'd recomend trying the duty free thing that way you get the vat back when you leave england.. find out first from the shop if you can get it back just to be safe. you can put one board on the plane for nothing (usually) they dont count them as luggage, most of the time they don't even weigh them.. ive done it with surfboards snowboards and my mountain board and never been slugged with the extra baggage. again might pay to check with your airline just incase.
