Well I was a little skeptical at first, but they look like really effing good boards. I really did not think that I would be sucked into buying one straight away, but I would really consider it.
The price is a little heavy, now the new highest boards on the market. Colours looks pretty cool, something different and it seems like he is talking down the MR models. Don't like the print on the slick.
Overall they look sweet, would love to hear a testimony.

Hmm, I do need a new board. My Manta picked up an extra 3 creases on the slick in the past week. I was going to get a bright green Botha Turbo though...hmm.

I might be the new guinea pig; not sure if I can justify getting one though as i'm currently jobless. Watch this space.

edit:

The Found TE Series PE offers everything you will ever want in a PE core bodyboard with the contoured deck,50/50 rails,added tail piece for extra comfort and control,nose bulbs for ideal gripping,graduated channel systems


Dammit Rawlins, there's a space button for a reason. You want to look professional, do a grammar check before you post it :|

I can vouch for the Botha model caspian, I was after a green too but ended up with a black one as the store only had the green in a 41. It is a sick board though.

ordered one, wasn't going to but was sort of coerced into it thanks to the mind blowingly awesome customer service, and the fact that if it's a dud I'll just hang around down south so I can eventually bump into Rawlins and yell at him :lol: I might buy a Botha as well in a month or two, we'll see what goes down.
