That was a great interview.
My takeaways,
Gold for better uv protection
Ocean rodeo is the developer
They seem to have a pretty good team working on this.
No Aluula bladder in this first batch
Maybe aluula canopy down the road
One strut aluula with canopy could be very rigid
This may kickstart other manufacturers to come up with similar fabric products
Quantity production really just starting in Canada and limited production may limit use by other companies
Very good high wind performance
I can’t help but get a sense of deja vu all over again with the best cuben fiber kites

The best nemesis hp pro 10m had huge almost unlimited upper wind range.
Unlike what Mr. Myerscough said, the smaller diameter of the leading edge will require more psi to keep the kite from buckling. I used 13 psi on my Nemi hp.
And in the end, the torsional stiffness was an issue as kites need to flex at the tips to pivot.
I still haven’t heard how that will be addressed.
