Where are you finding one for 600 new? I have seen them used for more,

Pretty sweet deal that I'm probably going to take advantage of, just thought I would try second hand first....

Got your message, Fiona's back in Scotland now, more time to reply - I'll shoot you an email about the King we were discussing, I think I have a solution to delivery. I have a good friend from Waterloo NY that is closer to you and he'll be back here to attend a festival in May.
I'll send you an email

i was flying my sa19 in 8-10mph a i measured with my meter. i was using my ss glide thinking it might not be enough board. but it was. i thought my mako king would need more wind. it tried it for the next 3 hours and it was great. riding the 'wrong' end, it flew up wind. i never even tried toeside. i've had a few sesions with this board under my charger 15 and it worked good, but i'm really happy that my king and sa19 will be my summer!

Got one, sweet deal on the new 2011 model, thanks everybody.

what was your sweet deal? i put a deck pad on mine and symmetric straps to ride either side of the board. i like this set up better thatn the original very cushy pads and straps. but i think your 2011 board came with a full deck pad, did it not?

I found a basically brand new one on ikutesurf.com and was able to negotiate a nice price. The 2011 does come with a full deck pad that actually matches the color scheme of the board which is pretty cool. It arrives Monday, I'll throw up some pictures once I get it.
