Like muzza said, freight would cost a lot, probably $300+

also you will need to pay import duties, thou for some countries and items, i.e. from the USA, you can bring things in for free as far as I know if they are valued under $1000.

Whats your budget anyway? I'd say keeping a sharp eye on buy and sell and a little patience will net you a good deal. For your weight and the sail sizes you like to use I'd also suggest that there is probably no point looking at boards over 110L.

Sue, there is a few 118-133lt boards in the buy and sell section or for new try Carbon Art,good value and easy to sail fast

Are they forgiving? I dont get to sail a lot. Budget max $1200 prefer under $1000
Swoosh said - " & a little patience.." thats the problem it takes me a while to make a decision but once done I want it now! One of the problems is the $ is already committed to a weeklong art workshop & Ill have to cancel that pretty soon if Im going to.Im leaving the $ in at the moment in case I cant get a board. I had to prebook the workshop last year as he is so popular.So I wish I could settle it all soon & tie up loose ends..

For $1200 you should find the right board for you.Just keep looking. The CA,s are great boards but might be a bit too full on for a "casual intermediate" Good luck
