i hope...at least just to check it out. i know performance ski and surf has been selling some of their stuff, and every time i'm at OWC i see at least a few people on jstar setups.
HIGGINS, i agree, i have an empire and i couldn't ask for anything more out of a board....maybe a lil lighter, but other than that it rides awesome with some .7 hyp fins on it.
I checked out the JStar on Wake.com.au and they are definately stepping it up. Saw they got a cover on Alliance and pretty neat add. Can't wait to see the product, what shops are carrying it here in the US.
