Yep Onboard at Mona Vale still do the CI's. Spinetek done in a different factory though.

The CI mid twins, twin pins and Mids with colour work are also being done at Surman surfboards, Maroochydore.
Still curious about where the Balinese factory boards will be sold?
It's not like CI don't do OS already with Surftechs and Torq boards.
Probably just Bali and maybe Asia? There is a CI store in Seminyak and Padang / Bingin area
The Bali CI factory and CI Bali retail shops are run/owned by Onboard Australia. The same Mona Vale based crew that has built CI's in Australia since the early 1990s.
Chris "Cutch" is the head shaper, and most of the staff are Aus transplants.
They do export at times back to Aus, Japan, and a few boards came to the USA during the Covid boom. This supply chain is complimentary to locally built boards when demand exceeds capacity.
The vast majority of their sales come through the Seminyak and Padang stores, they do pretty well.
Thanks for the clarification. What's the pricing like there compared to Australia?
The strong USD skews fx right now, but a 2.Pro today costs
Bali - $601
Aus- $699
USA - $775
Japan - $912
And leave the gray skies, flat points and cold water of Santa Barbara?
Cheers. Worth keeping in mind for those heading to Bali to avoid the 3 or more board tax hit on arrival there or even pre ordering stock boards so don’t even have to bring any and collect there.
Yeah, I guess when you put it in those terms, it's obvious I'm crazy.
How does this tax work? Is it just on arrival or departure as well? Going next year and thinking of just ordering a couple there and return with them
When did this get introduced? I've been going almost every year since 2000 and always take 3-4 boards. Last visit was in October last year. Never paid a tax? Are you talking about specific airlines?
What model is this? I wanna buy it. Cheap and 43,4 litars 
Edit:
I found out. It's called Average Joe, but I believe someone riding a 43l 5'11" is somewhat above average in BMI and below average in SMI(Shred Mass Index).

Average Joes came out years ago, around the same era as the Fred Rubble. It was decent, but I had better small wave boards than that one. It went best for me with Mayhem Split Keels, ymmvWhat model is this? I wanna buy it. Cheap and 43,4 litars

I’m positive CI isn’t as progressive when it comes to longboards as Dane Perlee at Osprey is. But goddamn…that Demon went sooo good at 1st Point during that south swell we had couple weeks ago. Fastest trimming 8’0 I’ve EVER ridden. A bit tracky for my first and only sesh so far, but nothing a little getting used to won’t fix.
pretty sure northern shores is just aroused by the green alien pepis fin
Wade Goodall with easily the best surfing I've seen on a G-Skate. The acceleration he gets with barely any body movement is insane.
He's tapping into that raw Sunny coast power...its not for the faint of heart. Edit: well obviously not surfing at home in this vid.
