Hi Seamus,
I'm not too sure why the original waterway site now also has a Canadian address. The company itself and where the fins are made is in Kiev Ukraine, I have ordered several fins from them. Going back about 2 years now with an order of 3 or so fins (Basic model 1 LD1) including shipping still worked out under $200 Australian per fin. The canadian company was a reseller, I don't know if they have now merged or something ?
Anyway if you live in Australia it makes no sense to pay double shipping from Europe, to Canada then back to Aus. Best bet contact Bogdan direct on the Kiev email :-

Cheers,
Wal
