(3160*1.15+545*1.1) usd in aud = $3935. Exchange rate may vary, but <$4k for a race sail quiver seems ok... thou no doubt, if you are a serious racer you are also up for a full set of masts.
Either way being a bit of an engineering geek, these sails just seem cool!, I'm more interested in how they built them!... I would have thought duplicating the north 3DL technology would be really expensive, especially considering that they are only a small brand! But now I'm wondering how they got the shape into the body if it is indeed a single continuous panel? or isn't it? hard to tell from the photos.
i'm pretty sure the gst and duty is payed on the delivery cost as well as the purchase price. plus you have to pay customs fees on top of that which are around $70 from memory.
the fake invoice works but it's a risk if somehting goes wrong as your insurance will only cover the amount invoiced so you could loose thousands.
That North 3D video is sick!
I have just been advised that a WA shop will be stocking Avanti sails. They will be taking orders soon. Avanti sails appear to be a quality product but i was concered with how the after sale service would go as they were factory direct. problem solved now!!
So many rumours in the windsurfing industry...
but this one is true...
We are super stoked to be able to offer OZ sailors these new generation sails & masts, as well as giving product back up.
We will actually have limited stock as well Bender

Unfortunately it doesn't look as if the weather gods are going to be nice to all the people who put in the effort to organize and attend southern Italy's first PWA event. So everyone will have to wait to see how the Avanti sails work in the heat of battle. Nice big wind shadow behind Mt etna.
Possible being on Fanatic boards give him access to North gear?..Colour coordinations with sails and boards very similar, wonder where this is leading???
Avantis have landed..........................
Missed the wind... and it's dark.... always the way when you've got new toys....
If you provide the wind Paul..........
I'd like to get them out on the water over the weekend as I'm going over to Europe next week..
The 6.9 is rigged on the 430 Avanti mast YoYo.
