mr_roboteye Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Guys help me!I was the second highest bider on that f2 196 board. Do you know of any 190+ boards for sale in the US? I'm contacting you because here in UK it's pretty dry. If all else fails, have one custom made by donek, coiler, or prior. All three of these companies will make anything you want. Any waist width, any stiffness. Donek even has a mold for a 228cm super, super GS board. Check out their site. If you're paying in sterling it might even seem like it's cheap. later, Dave R.

tilledog Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 the only dealings we've had with them is in english. It's been awhile. The boards are "made in Austria". Michelle would know the true georgraphical source of the F2 line. I'll inquire within' and drop a line... I truly love the F2 product but they are so Random with North American Dealings...

chadx Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Currently in Molln, Austria, from what I recall. They haven't been in Germany for years. I did a quick search and found this interesting History blob from when B&M Group was formed (when Mistral, F2, and Fanatic merged). It only goes up to 2000, so I'm not sure what has changed since then. Interesting read, though. History B&M Group The Boards & More AG was set up in 2000 and resulted initially from the merger of three players competing in the action sports industry: Mistral, F2 and Fanatic. As a result of this acquisition, B&M became the world leader in the windsurfing market as well as the leading distributor in the European snowboard business. B & M has also established itself as the No 2. Global player in the Kiteboarding market, which has been seeing a steady increase over the last few years. As of August 1st, 2003, the Swiss KJ Jacobs AG has sold it’s windsurf, kite and snowboard company, Boards & More AG to an investor team led by Yves Marchand. Today, B&M is an international enterprise, with its main subsidiaries in Molln, Austria and Oberhaching, Germany. Product designing, purchasing, logistics, international and national sales, as well as customer service for the worldwide market are controlled from these locations. To these activities are added central services such as IT, finance and accounting, as well as human resources. Worldwide sales are carried out via a network of company-owned sales enterprises, agents and importers all over the world.
