Interesting, quick comparison of the 11.5kg skis in NZ where the NZ$ is currently 83 cents Australia:

Fenn, all carbon 11.5kg skis are NZ$4000.00, cheaper than Aus. Same go's for the glass options, exceptional value here in NZ.

Stellar, 11.5kg kevlar skis are NZ$42500.00, more expensive than Aus and cheaper through all layups than Epic, as they are in Aus.

Epic, 11.4kg skis are NZ$5300.00, more expensive than Aus and over $1000.00 more expensive than the same weight ski's in the other brands here in NZ. Until recently Epics were $500.00 more expensive than they are now.

Think skis not a direct comparison as they are a little heavier but are about NZ$500.00 more than in Aus, here more expensive than Stellar and Fenn but cheaper than Epic.

Be nice if Epic was a bit more "generous" and through in a tube of KY to make the buyer feel at least a bit loved.

Would be different if paying a price premium for their products meant lightest skis and best manufacturing process.

Here's the list from highest to lowest weights. Those skis I don't yet have weights on not shown.

My apologies Stew, didn't navigate your site correctly. My comment has been edited accordingly. Are the Big Eze and Ion skis priced along the same price line as the rest of the range? IE, $2995 & $3995.

I have also wondered at the prices for epics. You would think being made in china they wouldn't be the most expensive brand

However they are worth what someone is prepared to pay. Based on the number of epics out there the price point must be ok.

As a matter of interest I converted the price of some of our ski's here in NZ into Australian dollars, rounded figures for the same skis as listed above

All listed in Australian dollars.

11.5kg Fenn Swordfish Australia $4200.00, NZ $3300.00
11kg Stellar SES, Australia $3995.00, NZ $3500.00
13.5kg Epic V10l Australia $4495.00, NZ $4370.00
13.5kg Epic V12 Australia $4700.00, NZ $4496.00
12kg Think Evo Australia $3995.00, NZ $3630.00

Seems we have skis cheaper here in NZ than you do in Australia.

I see Nelo ski`s don't seem to have a problem on pricing! Not even mentioned.

Ranga, I have listed them but can't find a prices or weights, if someone can find these I can update these lists.

12kg Think Evo Australia $3995.00, NZ $3630.00

Seems we have skis cheaper here in NZ than you do in Australia.

Almost $1000 cheaper for the Swordfish in NZ compared to Oz, wonder what it would cost to freight one to Melbourne...assuming it didn't get $1000 damage on the way over With the Aussie dollar so strong and having been that way for quite a while I think there is quite some profit being made right now selling new ski's in Australia.

Do you have to pay 10% duty on skis coming into Australia?

Certainly not from New Zealand, not sure about anywhere else, but from past experience 5% is the typical import duty, would have to pay GST of 10% though.

Shock yourself...have a look at cost of a ski in South Africa.

What are the typical prices in SA? Got me thinking about how much LCL freight would cost if you could get a few people together to bulk buy. If they are half the cost they are in OZ, which I suspect is the case, back up isn't a problem, just buy a spare!
Even a 40' container couldn't cost more than 5K, wouldn't take too many ski's to make it worthwhile to import them yourself.

Well......a very quick casual look at the V10 Sport Club.

Quoted above @ $2750, Paddling Centre has them at the equivalent of $1450 converted from Rand.

A full carbon Fenn Glide costs about Aus $ 1800 in South Africa, vs. $4200 quoted above.

Updated with some skis from KNYSNA, OCEANBUILT, CUSTOM KAYAKS & KAYAK CENTRE.

Still missing quite a lot of weights and prices.

If people can track them down I can fill them in.
