check out the site:
www.windsurfwholesalesources.com/index.html

You pay $59US, they give you a list of manufacturers and contacts where you can buy directly from asian distributors/manufacturers. Apparently the manufacturers for all the big brands (North, Pryde etc...) are in there.

Just wondering if anyone has bought the "ebook" and if it had any useful info.

Almost sounds like one of those ads where they will chuck in a set of steak knives for free.

It's a book selling scam.

There is no guarantee that you will be able to purchase from the suppliers.

There are similar scams which float around locally for Police auctions and lost superannuation which are both all free information.

Good news everyone,
I have just negotiated for a sample sail and board from every windsurf manufacturer in the asia area to load a container through these guys with a personal hostess joining the freight shipment by sea container wishing to have party long time upon docking.

Don't tell the missus.

the big name factories won't just sell to anyone, you would have to be an importer for your country before they would even look at you, also they go through the head office of what ever company it is. or you will have to buy a certain amount of ech bit of gear, like 20 sails of one size.. know a fella who tried this he now has brand new sails in his shed no-one wants so it cost way more than just going to the local shop..

Damn it
They stole my idea for a scam [}:)]

But I know a guy in Nigeria who can get boards cheap

FYI
They don't even let the dealers know where the boards are made.
I assume it's some labour camp in Vietnam where they make everything.
