After lookign at the 2007 expo pics (read Christmas catalog) I have decided to purchase a new board for next year. While I havent decided on a particular one....
Anyway, where are reputable (and affordable) places to order from
im not worried too much about warranty issues because Mike has never ridden any of my stuff.. mostly deals. Or should I stick to shops?
Go with the sponsors at the top of the page...at least check them out. Also, keep in mind that many of your local shops have websites and carry that "local shop" level of customer service into their online presence. Some don't, but many do.
Performance always goes above and beyond. I like Grizzly's and Buywake has never done me wrong. All of them had quick shipping, orders were correct and prices were very competative.
What sets Performance out for me is the shop level service. Everytime I have been to Orlando and been in the shop, everyone was very knowledgable. Bill even helped me pick out the right wetsuit top for me and saved my butt one cold rainy february at OWC!
In no particular order, all have been exceptionally good to me, but Glassandpowder recently stood out, thanks to Mike who dealt with my constant questions.
i just ordered a helmet for myself from buywake.com. i couldnt be any happier. they sent me a alliance wakeboarding magazine, a TON of stickers, and my package with regular shipping came in, in 3 days. i will deffinatly buy from them again.
