same as last year, price wise
they look really cool, but windsurfing is killing itself with prices
im not getting any new north or fanatic gear anymore, cant afford it... not at $3000 a board and over $1000 a sail and thats not including mast and booms....
awesome gear tho, really love the gear, just out the price range...
minimise gear for a season or two, learn to kite!!!!! 
The new boards look smashing. I ordered a 2012 Fanatic 109L Skate TE for my early planning, light wind do all board to complement my smaller 93L JP S/Thruster Wave. I am not a freestyler but there are many guys out there using them for this purpose....... Ant Baker uses one as an easy/freeride/light winder/small surf ocean blaster and raves about it, as do a few guys on here. Mind you there are a few tricks I would like to learn too, so it will come in handy as my biggie! Will post a review once I have had a couple of sails on it.
The board cant come soon enough (Sept-ish)......the August NEs are raising their heads already, with 3 x 15kn days forecast for the mid/end of this week in Port Mac. We have had light NEs all weekend (8kns or so). The last time this happened a couple of seasons ago we had a cracking wavesailing season from mid August all the way through to the end of March!!!
A BIG THANKS goes to Sam and Chris at Wind Surf n Snow for kitting me up again after all my gear was ripped off late last season 
. You guys are good blokes!
