Wondering why? The freight will be expensive ex-east and WA has a lot more shops so you choice in new 2007 boards in various bands, as well as very good second hand, is huuugggge
Thus I ponder why you only want a 2007 JP is there a specific model that you need?

(Bearing in mind we're talking waveboards here)
as far as boards' shapes go I think people place too much emphasis on brands. When looking for a new board, it doesn't matter what you get, it will take time to adjust and get used to how it carves, where you weight it to turn or jump, how it behaves in the air etc.
Thus I think you'd be just as happy with a RWW, or EVO, or Tabou Pocketwave ('sposed to be awesome), or the Exocet shortnfat thing, or the Goya One.
People will say (for example) "oh but board A is faster in the bottom turn than Board B" or whatever. Bvllsh!t. It may well be, but you can only have one board at any given time so on some days Board A will rip, the next day you are a bit overpowered and the Board B may have more control in the bottom turn. Thus I say just read a few reviews, you'll have a choice of 10 boards narrowed down to 3 quite quickly, and any of those 3 will suit you great.

As I said, just my opinion..... I have been on Simmer sails for 15yrs, and won't change brands. I have used about 10 brands of waveboard and none were crap. They all rode waves wonderfully....... but durability varies
