I enquired with my local shaper about doing someone else's design specifically so I could get one of these boards locally and it was a no-go. If I'm ever headed to Aus I'll get one from the source.

Some good questions popping up here.
I live in the northern part of Norway (Home of the wsmurf sport) .
Liked Martin love's board build thread on the Fusion here on the Seabreeze forum. Got in touch for a possible buy but shipping costs made it go into smoke.
I have been using Crater Composites for another board a couple of years ago and was very happy with that process. Martin Love was very service minded and offered his CAD files for the Fusion 64 to Crater Composites to get the board manufactured in Sweden.. Crater Composites subcontracts the 3D milling of the blank to another company (also in the wsmurf family) and does all the composites work himselfe. THe result looks very nice and cant wait to gert on the water with it.
This opens a new box of opportunities to get a custom board manufactured and is a lot of fun for a dedicated wsmurfer......

I have seen some of his nice work on a local forum, but I didn't know that he would/could make boards on order like that.
I think I live about three hours drive away from him...
