Affordable 2013 Ronix Parks Carbon Thrusters $400

[IDBoating]

The store people confirmed the physical store would match their online prices. They have their dedicated website (liquidationsports.com) and an eBay store too.

If someone could look back in their browser cache and find the page that shows they had them for $300, I think a copy of that would solve the problem. They seemed like very honest and straightforward people - you just need to "show" them. That's how it works with a lot of these places... they'll match/beat a price but you have to show physical proof.

Damn. Good job WA'!!!!

I was also gonna pressure them to match that 300

300...BAM!!!

[IDBoating]

I'm only buying one if WABoating personally signs it...

Not anymore. They both show $405 now. They must be watching us?

No, but now that I stopped in and signed all of them they figure they're worth more!

But seriously... I did stop in today. The store folks did not know that the online price had been $300. They finally accepted that it had been, and agreed to match the price for me. But I started looking around and ended up getting a Parks Thruster Five Footer instead. My thinking was that rather than have a second identical board, this would expand our quiver a bit and give us a longer/larger board for our bigger friends who struggle on our shorter ones. After some haggling they gave me the same $300 price on this board (list was $~650) so I feel really good about how everything worked out. The new board is basically exactly the same as the 4-7 Carbon Thruster except 1) longer, 2) not carbon, and 3) has three double fin boxes instead of five. It did come with three 2.9 fins and the fins are interchangable with the ones on the 4-7 so we can do lots of experimentation. I really like the fact that the nose and tail of the boards are the same, including the aggressive nose rocker.

Nice people, nice store. They had two of the 4-7 CT's on the shelf and presumably many more in the warehouse. I'd buy from them again.

[MooseX]

Yup we messed that deal up...

we should have been publicly dissin' the boards...and then all of us should cleaned them out at 300 on the same day. Sorta' like inside traders do

Mine is on it's way and expected to arrive on Tuesday. It looks like the price is now up to $405.

Their surf board page shows $300, http://www.liquidationsports.com/Wakesurf, but after you click on the board it shows $405 on the individual page.

[MooseX]

Yep you want a signed model in case WA Boating becomes famous some day

[surfidaho]

I'm only buying one if WABoating personally signs it...

Yeah... and on Monday there may be some signature models around. That's it...I'm sending mine back.

[MooseX]

since it's surf style I'd prefer one WITHOUT the deck pad so I can scamper around on it

video on Youtube with Parks explaining the board is cool

4'7" is my size too

I might just have to give them a call...

They are all over the place with the price, you would think they were Amazon or something Wait a till Monday and it might drop again. I wonder how many folks on this forum bought one of these? Maybe they figured it was too low with all the sales? Perhaps WABoating cleaned them out (haha)? Mine is supposed to arrive Monday... which means a Monday evening surf session! Thanks again Stingreye!

Shade on me action sports

I was gonna call today OR make BoardCo match their price and maybe get a better color choice

Instead I spent the whole day workin on the boat. Punctured a rear sac on an exposed bolt (it was covered with fat piece of rubber but it fell off and fkd up my custom 2000 lb. WM' sac)

[jmoore15]

Moose, where did you find that price on the Diamond?

[MooseX]

what? did they raise the price back up? I was about to pull the trigger...for a lousy 300 bux..

(i know that sounds weird) compared to the $664 I'm about to spend on a 4'6" Danielo that's a bargain

Sure wish they'd have a liquidation sale on some of these hi dollar skim styles

[IDBoating]

Just called them. They must have a lot of these boards because I asked if there was a risk of them running out if we wait until tomorrow and "Jen" said "No, you'll be fine". Their physical store is open on weekends too which eases pressure on us getting there before the swim meet starts tomorrow. Sounds like we'll have the opportunity to browse through everything they have. Wonder what else we "need"?

[IDBoating]

Probably, but then they'll likely charge me tax instead which is more than their estimated shipping. No tax to my Idaho address from Washington.

On the plus side, I might be able to pick through the boards and choose the very best and cleanest one. Maybe I'll initial a few to make them "Signature Editions".
