That link to auswind now works for me, must have just been yesterday for a short time.
Now sorry to hijack the thread but the Auswind banner on this site is a bit misleading.
First it says "2009 Starboard wave boards"
Then it flashes "New boards from $499"
Guess what, there is one board for $499, a 2004 Acid.
But then you look and all boards, bar ONE, are $1500 - $1800 ish.
If they said only "new boards from $499" you'd think it was obviously old stock. But they deliberately say "2009 Starboards" first.
If you have developed a rapport with one shop / brand there is not too many times you can't get a board from last season, brand new, for $1500-$1800.
Big deal dudes.
Obviously I did not "fall for" anything, but I think that is pretty despicable false advertising especially for a WA company, on a WA based website, in a small windsports community.
Hi Mark,
Sorry to hear that our banner caused you confusion.
Unfortunately there are only so many words we can fit onto a rotating banner and still keep it looking pretty.
The intention of the ad was to firstly inform you that we have superseded stock that have been discounted.
Secondly to inform that the 2009 wave boards and sails have now been added to the superseeded list as the 2010 gear is due to arrive very soon.
and lastly that some boards and sails are now going super cheap.
In hindsight, we can see how the banner may have been misleading. We will get our artwork guy to tweak the banner to hopefully minimise any further confusion.
Auswind.
