The Global Surf Industry's South Point and other brands are made in Thailand and have a good stable of shapers like Gary Timpone.
I would not be worried about the " China" tag as the guys on board ( sorry pun) are happy with what GSI is turning out.

Ride the board enjoy alll it offers and if you get to the stage where you want a special board then think local and custom.

Global Surf Industires ( GSI ) is not connected with Southpoint Surfboard. Although their board were produced in the same Cobra factory in Thailand.

Sorry about that , I know GSI were marketing Southpoint in 2009 they also had a period marketing McTavish and Walden boards too , so obviously contracts change.

No matter what a South Point board will be fine :D
