welll when I bought my FX it was shipped from France to Calif to Puerto Rico then here to the VI,,,took about 3 weeks,, and about $2000.00. wouldnt have been that expensive but the Hobie dealer in Puerto Rico(Enrique Figueroa), said he had a deal with an air freight co..cost me $600.00 from PR to here,,,probably could have done it for $200...
