Informative video, thanks Scott. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out. Must be at least 10 companies now chasing the rainbow. 1 strut, 2 strut, leading edge strut, adding a boom, etc. I wasn't a windsurfer in the 80s, but I get the feeling this is how it went....many small players all fiddling around with options to figure out what works best and what will sell, the best products and companies will rise to the top. Or maybe the same with kites in late 2000s, where all that competition eventually led to a pretty standard SLE kite and standard 4 line bar. Every company is slightly different, but overall much the same.
All the companies making them seem to be reporting sold out of initial runs before even available, waiting lists, etc. Maybe just more hype, but does seem people are interested. The early adopters will no doubt end up buying a few dogs, much like when windsurf and kiting began their evolution. I am looking forward to trying my friend's Naish, on order.
