JP are making 2 wave twins, a wave quad and a good old wave single! just makes it even harder to choose! new sails look great i think.
i'm pretty sure a man in the shop who once touched this stuff said the new np sails are lighter weight and all kevlar (technora?) ply? but no more shiny matalized film
Whats with the sails. It looks like an 80,s cutaway sail. Is this a plot by NP to make the old cutaways worth something
I guess we,ll know by next year.
Not fan of that grey colour on the Pryde sails, look like there already faded from the sun.. i liked the brighter colours from last year..
Is that Kauli sailing a single fin???
Hows Qld Al - excited about the new gear?
The quads should be interesting - might have to get one next year!
its been ridiculously bad up here for some reason! next week should be good though.
pretty sure kauli usually rides singles for pozo. its gonna be interesting seeing how these quads will jump.
do people get skunked alot in
QLD????? cause i hear alot of people complaining about QLDs wind poor boys. i hate been skunked for just 1 day.
funny thing is the wind likes me alot and when i went traveling to qld it blow the whole time i was there. dam, and i did not have me windsurfer wtih me dam .

and some windsurf dude at hampton was telling me his done more windsurfing in melbourne than he did when he was living in QLD on his weekends since living here

Most big manafactures say that u are out of date if u dont have the latest products its a selling point to make the average joe spend money on what he dosent need it the same with blue ray and computers are even more predominent.
point is If you have equiptment that is safe and good to use why not use it u dont need to upgrade.
Tecnoligy is a selling point and big business will target the consumers and make them feel out-of-date if they dont have the latest procucts.
Keep out of the global recession trap that has lead so many down the path of debt!!!!!
If u have good equiptment untill it is unserviceable u dont need to spend money to keep up with the faniticals promoting equiptment.
If u have a good sail save ur cash or place it towards getting yourself out of debt.

It will be interesting to see how badly the recession will hurt the windsurf industry. the 2010 season's range should be the first to be fully affected by the down turn.
Especially in the Europe, which seems to be the main market for windsurf products, the recession has hit pretty hard and people now think twice before putting down Euro 1500 for a new board when they can buy the same board for half that at the end of the season.
hm... I think one of those 92 JP Quad fin pro edition boards already has my name on it :-)
Must call Sam from Windsurf and Snow to see when he is expecting the first delivery.
Loved the 84 JP Twin fin so I can imagine the 92 would be my ideal Gnaraloo board...
