Ridiculous isn't it....How does shipping etc work from www.Ionasport.de? Is it easy enough to get it shipped in to the UK...how much
extra does that cost? I'm sure it still works out cheaper, but it could be a bit of hassle. AND, kit should be the same price here in
the first place anyway.
These price differences are the very reason that I'm shopping with Gun Sails these days. Has anyone tried one of their boards? I quite
like the look of the Krypton (245cm x 53cm x 80l) in replacement ofr my Mistral Eruption. Especially as the list price in the UK (with
full UK warranty back up etc.) is only £595.
They have said I can try one on demo, so I'm just waiting for a windy weekend and then I'll get one sent out to me.

UK shipping is 85 Euro's for a board, but some parts of the site suggest that delivery is included in the price ?
they also have a club scheme that gets you an extra 2% discount
might have a good nose around some other overseas sites to compare prices

Yeah, thats the trouble...By the time you pay for the shipping and the hassle its actually better buying the stuff from the UK at 'rip
off' prices.
Mind you, I know plenty of people who are always going to Germany, so its worth keeping an eye on the price differences....Not that I
can afford anything after my recent spending spree.

A good place for euro priced kit is www.looping.de
i've bought a lot of stuff from the guy who runs this (miro). he's extremely helpful, shipping is actually quite cheap. have saved
myself hundreds of pounds in the last few years.
Recently the uk prices have come down a bit to try and come into line but they are still higher pretty much across the board (no pun
intended).
