Wheelboy's downunder

After reading the reviews on the wheelboy and being in the market for a new boat I am very keen for one, but I am in New Zealand. I know that it will cost a lot to get one sent here so I am thinking if any one in N.Z. or Aus. want one we could work something out for shipping. Or if anyone know's of someone taking a wheelboy to Aus for the worlds next year and don't want to take it home
let me know.
Wayne.

Hi Wayne
Well, I ended up in Switzerland rather than finding a job back in NZ, so I'm near the source if you can find someone to bring the boat back for you. I'm not planning any trips downunder soon, but would be happy to figure something out about actually getting the boat if you can hook up with someone to transport it. They're not cheap though - the only price I've seen so far online from a retailer was around 800 or 900 euros. Might be able to do better direct of course.
Anyhow, it's an option, so let me know if I can help. All I'd ask is to be able to demo it once

I have been looking a round for some possibilities for shipping some kayaks to NZ.
2 ways to do it.
I Wayne gets some friends together and joins forces with them and we make a good price.
II NZ kayak shops shows upp and start distributing for us. Sunspot has been allready unofficially contacted.

Hello,
The overall transport of one boat to eg. Christchurch, New Zealand is 450USD. However, if there were more people interested in purchasing Wheelboy the price of transport would go down significantly. It is about 15-20% cheaper to transport 2 boats at a time, and up to 45% if you transport four or five. If we have any more querries from New Zealand, I will give your email to all the interested people. I hope this would help to lower the prices of transport.
Please, send me an email if I could be of any help,
Pawel Szydlowski

Thanks for that, the only other person I know of here interested in getting one brought in is wanting the creeker, so looks like I may have to wait a little while.
