Very bad news Joe, sorry to hear that. Talk about a turn of events, going to having about as much fun as a windsurfer can have to being told you are going to miss a whole season. V nasty. I think the cat is your only option at this point.

Tha 295 looks like a great option, not so big I can't store/transport it but bug enough that it can go up wind. Do you think it would be competitive as a one board solution for course and light wind slalom? And will you be able to use your existing race sail quiver with it??

Couldn't resist putting this up again. 378 L X 72 W X 41 Tail (approx) adjustable mast track.
Sail is 8m and has 2 cams.

Problem with using modern race sails is in light winds you can't get the cams to pop and too loose leach.

I would love to try one of the more modern boards though.

Can't wait to see what the new 377 is like compared to my 380 Phantom that i have at the moment, the tail looks weird though

The objective of building a "feeder" class at a reasonable price point is pure genius! Exactly what this sport has needed for the last 10 years. Hope it gets up, would be good fun doing some Island Marathons around the bay with the crew.

I like the way they are courageous enough to push the boundaries and try new ideas. I come from the product development industry and I know how much easier it is to just evolve existing ideas rather than invent new ones.

Keep it up I say, the market will soon tell you if it is a good or bad product.
