According to Ross Williams' FB it's just a prototype.

Just like that sail kauli has, it's in no way 2014 gear. It's just kauli's proto. maybe one day it will be in the line, hope by then hot sails have refined the look of it

i heard hot sails are making a no battern sail to save a further 0.00001 grams, dakron is used because NASA use it...
.. it will be called " The Floppy " ... and it will be yellow with Kauli's face on it...

That's what I thought. But it turns out that the sail is being put into production (according to HSM fb page) and it will be available soon.
It will be called the 'KS3'.

I used to be a Naishaholic but now only their sails appeal to me.

That looks like the Carbon Wave Edition, you can also get it in wood. Not much info about the specifics yet apart from the use of super-light layers of uni-directional 80g/m2 Carbon in the deck of the wave boards to make the deck incredibly resistant to snapping with no reduction in the feel or ride of the board. Word is that the new construction from Starboard is Koster proof.

Also the 87 and 92 Quad have had a bit of rework to the rocker to increase the plaining performance over last years model. Also a slight outline change with a few extra mm tucked between the feet.

Yep, mine on order.

Was getting the qu4d but heard some really good feedback on the KS3.

ok, just that if you look at the pictures of the proto's, the carbon looks dark grey, not so white. Thought they may have added a new construction.

The finish in the picture is usually Technora finish but it does say Carbon ...........but who knows what they put in it.

Found this one on FB. Thought I would post here. The 2014 Tabou 3S (limited version I think).

It's good to see that SB have a big range of entry level / family oriented boards, particularly the wind sup range including the inflatables . This is got to be good for getting newcomers into the sport.
