A Chinese foldable board with convex stones

Looking for a portable go set with convex stones, so I can play outside with friends. While my opponents/pupils are rather new to the game I would like to use convex stones so I easily could play out variants, but I haven't found a good such go set. Convex stones are usually a bit larger than the ordinary stones so all foldable boards aren't suitable.
Has anyone found such set so I can spend some money?

Hi bofinken, I highly recommend the 10mm weighted ING stones from Yutopian.

thanks for the advice, but I can't se that they are "chinese-style" (not biconvex). I want stones that are flat on one side, and those stones tend to be a little bigger than "normal" stones, så standard foldable boards for biconvex stones wouldn't fit.

Hi bofinken, I understand you'd like single convex stones.
I still highly recommend the 10mm ING stones.

IMO the advantages of the 10mm ING stones far outweigh the single convex stones for variations.
Good luck.

Can anyone recommend a good Mexican restaurant?
China Wok
Is that Mexican? I really wanted Mexican food.
No, but you'll really like China Wok.

These single convex offered by YMI are sized to fit either Japanese or Chinese boards, but they no longer carry folding boards. If a folding board is a must, I recommend
this one offered by GGS. They also offer
these plastic stones sized to fit Japanese or Chinese boards. They also offer the same size in yunzi
here. Any stone that is 22cm in diameter will be universal, so just keep a look out for those.
