Illuminati are one of the best kept secrets in snowboarding - boards designed by Mr Iguchi and tested out on the hallowed turf of Mount Baker mean that these are serious bits of kit, with a real hardcore following in the US - these boards are well made in the US, and have a great rep within the industry.

Dont know much about that model, but at that price it seems to be to good too be true

that was my thought as well, especially as the logo/writing on the board offered on ebay is different to the main site and i couldnt find any reference to the model anywhere...

Its probably an old model they dont make any more if its not mentioned on the website, would explain why its cheap if its old stock. Doesn't mean its not a good board and could still be a bargain though!

Ive seen those dotted about on ebay too, watched it a few times, if i remember rightly the guys got decent feedback and he has been relisting them for a couple of weeks so it all seems legit. Like Nick said, probably an old model

You can pay £120 for it instead if you like? The air was from the first series of boards Illuminati did, along with the Fire, so I assume they also did a Water and an Earth? They're from Jackson Hole which is serious backcountry terrain in Wyoming. For £50 you can't really lose, it would cost you more to hire a board for a week.

hi i was looking at getting one of these but just wondered if boards were any good myself seems people think they are good.

the store and ebay account is definitely legit though as i have been in the cas branch a few times and seen those boards on the shelf they were £120 so fifty quid is well good deal think they just are off loading old stock like previous poster has said.

cheers
mick
