This is for the GST boards. Making it hard to understand why you would ride one. Any input from Nidecker?

Aren’t they being produced at another factory now? Afaik in Austria… May 28, 2013 at 11:59 pm #668583 firstlight 721 Posts Looks like they figured out that 1st world production cost are more expensive than 3rd world. Or they are just gouging us! For that price you would expect a light full carbon lay up top and bottom. This is a real shame as the boards look a lot better.

Canadian MSRP = $1,299 June 3, 2013 at 10:32 pm #668585 shredgnar 643 Posts Doesn’t most equipment cost more in Australia and NZ? Doubt it’s gouging, I think it has more to do with taxes and tariffs, not to mention shipping across some big body of water the I forget the name of ;).
