Hobie Forums :: View topic - Hello fron Spain

The variation in the price of Hobies from region to region is weird. In Australia, an AI or TI is about 20% more expensive than in the US, which is probably fair, given shipping costs and fluctuations in the exchange rate, but now I'm looking to buy a Hobie Wave and it is 60% more than in the US. Go figure.
Here's a link to a US site, with prices in US dollars: http://www.mariner-sails.com/product_list.asp?id=8510

Hi Fernaldo. Welcome to the forum. Of course you don't need a Hobie to be on the forum but It must be frustrating to not have the facilities to access a AI or TI from within your own country. Best of luck it getting one.
