frawley, if your looking for a cheaper board that is small I suggest a Kampus K-39, im riding it and alot of really good riders rode or still ride it, geoge daniels, clint tompkins, nick taylor (on this site) etc. and you could probably get it from the Canadian dealer Mica Sports... I dont totally understand what you mean about the mag thing... there is a us and a canadian price for WBM its usually 5.99$ an issue I think...

Nekkie,

Exactly. It didn't feel heavy at all. Little funny at first though, I fell getting up. Smash

Mica Sports is a distributor, not an actual store.

No frawley, I believe that's an Embarassed

for Parky, since it's his sponsor! You'd think he'd know these things

The bi-level is exactly 10 lbs, if you must know. I'm here to tell you it doesn't make a difference in the water.

frawley, its somewhere in ontario... s34n, Im not sponsored by mica... I have no relations with Mica at all... frawley, mmm maybe at another hundred on that 400... last year when I asked a local shop how much a cassette reed was they told me 450 so... im guessing this year the bilevel would be more than that Wink

frawley, nothing's breakING. Somebody cracked his, and Nekkie's delamed a litte.

I hate that there are double standards for skates, some guys Integ delams and people are like "resin it up and deal with it". A wood skate delams and the whole company ist ruined and you better get a warranty on that shizzle

I don't think it's "the whole company is ruined", more like its the same problem they have been having for years. It's not a double standard, it's the truth.
