Interesting objective observations Mario, I love that.
I havent heard of any here having broken the strut between the handles (but not that many having the Duotone Aluula or Unit), so will be interesting to see how it works out in the longer run, as it seems like a weak point.
Regarding the Takoon tips, I am a bit confused...
Do they get damaged simply from riding on the water, when hitting the water or board?
Asking as I dont understand how they would get scruffed on land?
I never hit the beach with my wingtips on land - or is it when it stays on its back behind the board in the wind while pausing, these "corners" gets worn and damaged?
Or ARE there some people who tend to drag the tips on land occasionally?
Not sure I understand this?
With a kite, yes these "corners" will get scruffed really fast when self launching (or landing), so important on a kite, but on a wing I dont understand?
I dont have any of these three, but really interesting observations, and will probably lead to much better "next productions" of these, so a win win for everybody
