There doesn't seem to be much point in me continuing to make boards commercially when high quality, top performing boards like this are being sold at such ridiculously low prices.

Mean!
There are heaps of local board builders who have boards within your budget! (Deck only for $250 though) Go look at Pulse Boards, Wahkoowa, Bombardier or Sugar Boards! All of which make high quality longboards and will defs have something to suit your needs!
Keep it local, skate safe and spread the stoke!

Dont buy that!
Hectics are terrible, worse than sector 9. Get some goodish trucks like paris or randel 180s, decent wheels like orangatang inheats, and try find a second hand loaded vanguard...
dude sector 9 has some
dude sector 9 has some killer boards e.g bomb hills, 38 and 42 race, bullet would be sweet if i could redrill to fit any bp
In general
For how much you pay they're not really worth the $$$
i agree in general. but
i agree in general. but sector makes quality stuff, race forms (any shape/duro) are my favourite wheel and everyone knows the race is one of the best topmounts. but anyways back to og topic...hit up an nz builder they should be able to hook you up!

Sooo thanks to tribalchea i have contacted pulse longboards and they say that they can hook me up with a longboard :D browsing through other forums has helped me to realise my folly in trying to get a board from the "blood sucking vampires" that hyperride are. Thanks for the help guys :D
Awesome...
Pulse is a excellent and cheap way to go. They were my second board that I bought and have nver regretted it. If you want cheap longboard bearing go here: http://www.nzskater.com/Bearings-China-Reds-ABEC-7.html
OR
Buy bearings off Clive, Just as good as bonez but half the price (just about) and $5 from every set goes to NNO! Hit him up on the wahkoowa page
