Hi All

I only know of one or two aussie made/designed products out there. I would like to know more. It's very hard to find this info out without asking people.

Is there some sort of registry (here or on the net) that lists aussie made windsurfing products ?. I am happy always happy to pay extra for an aussie made product (priority: aussie made&designed, aussie designed only, aussie assembled only etc) that is equal or better quality than an import.

Sorry if this question has been asked before. I did do a search

Ja

Hydrodynamix booms and OES sailboards

Windsurfer One Design boards are made in western Sydney.

The components mainly come from OS, but the biggest piece (the hull) comes from Wetherill Park or somewhere.

Flying Objects (designed in Oz) Made OS..

A few small board builders such as NUDE and Rider Customs.. both in W.A and the others mention above.

Severne would be the biggest for Oz..

KA Sails - Melbourne

CarbonArt, well NZ is close

How much "Australia" is in "JP Australia"?

Only the fact that JP himself used to be Aussie

SSD is Stone Surf Designs, Mark Stone, Geraldton WA. Any Gero windsurf shop could give you his number, or kingofthepoint on seabreezee could.

Riders Custom is Rider5 on seabreeze

Nude is also here but can't remember who? There was pics posted recently so search "nude" on the forums?
(These forums, not others as a google search for nude may get you more than one or two results????)

And I'd really REALLY like to add Avalon Sail Co, to the list, but at only 3 or 4 windsurfing sails a year it's probably not justified, at the moment any way.
I've got my fingers crossed Bugs is going to get somebody else to do the shade sails, and he can put some time into our sort of stuff.

I'd really like to add Wave Wands as well

Volume is a bit low compared to a commercial operation, sadly...

What's lacking in quantity is more than made up for in quality though

My areas of destruction lie down different paths

reminds me of the elmoed thread, but then you had to elmo the thread about elmoing....

Hey and do "Sonic" still exist over east? They made mostly SLS paddleboards etc but their waveboards were awesome. I had the canary yellow Sonic 255 Wave which was the best waveboard I have ever ridden DTL, and mega tough. They had only about 3mm thick foot pads and still didn't get heel dents or delam after total abuse and flat landings - something some manufacturers now could learn from

I can second that. My wave wand is the best wave board i have every had.

Thanks guys, I appreciate you're appreciation!
