I'm looking for a good deal on 2 x hyperlite boards and bindings shipped to the UK. <BR> <BR>After a 140 motive and binding and a 135 vargas and bindings. <BR> <BR>Who offers good deals and good shipping rates? <BR>Thinking of wakeside, anyone else? <BR> <BR>Not fussed if they are 2003 closeouts if the price is good. <BR> <BR>Jay

Jay, <BR> <BR>The only place I can reccomend is Wileyski (Seattle). I'm from N.Ireland, and have had numerous boards shipped from them. Their prices are keen and the shipping is even better, here in 3 days!, faster than if I ordered it from England. Anyway they are good guys to buy from, as far as warranty problems go they are also very obliging. <BR> <BR>Ask to speak to Darren Wiley. <BR>Tell him I sent you! <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.wileyski.com" target="_blank">www.wileyski.com</a> <BR>

Gareth, <BR> <BR>I was thinking of getting a board and bindings shipped to Ireland and was wondering how much extra was shiping and did you get caught for tax/duty? <BR> <BR>Cheers, <BR>Dave

I'm from Canada but I'll have to second the Wiley's sugestion.He's a great guy and shipped my board cheap and fast.Definatly avoid buywake.com there international shipping rates are criminal.

saxosham 01-16-2004 6:37 PM

Dave, <BR> <BR>I think the shipping costs around 40 quid, I think I got charged about 15 quid for the taxes. You still save loads compared to buying one in the UK. I will send you some info. (check your email)

Sean, <BR> <BR>I am actually in BC for a year, out for a gap year from Uni. I've been wakeboading quite a bit in the Deas slough near Richmond, got some beautiful lakes over here.

Gareth, <BR>Cool I live pretty close to Van up by Whistler.Do any snowboarding/skiing?How much longer are you here for,are you here through this summer?If so we'll have to hook up and do some riding together.I've got a boat and our local lake is gorgeous.Water's azul blue with 50ft visibility no boat traffic and glaciers hanging overhead.

Sean, <BR>Yeah I have been snowboarding up at Whistler the odd saturday now and again, was up last weekend, also been to Mt. Seymour a bit. Whislter is amazing, makes Seymour seem so small!!. I'll be around until early August, I'm staying with Relatives here in Langley, they have a sportstar 19 so been riding with them a bit. Thanks for the offer, we should hook up for a bit of wakeboarding for sure.

Gareth, <BR>Sounds good.I go away for work back around mid may that's usually when riding starts around here anyways.Send me an email through my profile if you want to hook up sometime up here to ride.

Wileys have given me a great deal on both boards and shipping. $140 to ship 3 x boards and bindings to the UK via fedex priority. <BR>Yes Darren is great. Helped me with boards, gave very keen prices and not stitched me up on shipping. <BR>And with a very good exchange rate at the moment its a good time to order.

Just to add got my boards today 2 working days after the order was placed can't get much better than that!
