Dave Ezzy has announced that he will be bringing out his new season sails half way through the Australian season, starting in 2010.
The 2010 sails will come out in January 2010 so half the Australian season (typically October - March) will be over before we can get our hands on the latest sails.
Bugger
He always was one for doing things differently.
As a business decision though, is it the correct one? His main market is the northern hemisphere, right?
When do most other brands release their new kit?
Always thought it a bit strange that we get the next years kit 3/4's of the way through this year.
As most of the people want their new kit at the beginning of the season could be a comercial bomb for them, only time will tell
technology is moving ahead so fast that you might as well throw away any sail more than 4 months old !!! Gotta get a new sail because last year they didnt know how the wind works ??? whoops, rampant cynacisim....sorry.
New?
NEW?
N-E-W?
NYuuuuUUUUUUUUUUU?
Gotta look this one up in my picture dictionary...
Like, who cares, bro?
You got the extra cash, shoot me some!! Good for your karma, dude!
Wow 2010 sails coming out in 2010!
About time some manufactor's caught up with with real time.
This is the way it should be, I don't need the lastest and greatest so it not an issue for me.
Also means we should have some good closeouts for christmas!
Down side - Aussie importers may suffer?
Busniess wise makes sense as by far the majority of his market is in the northern hemisphere.
To say his turning his back on OZ his a little harsh I feel.
Bottom line, if he sells more sails and this is a move in that direction, the prices should stay lowish.
Well really this is not so bad ...........
I HAVE ALWAYS believed changing all your kit at the begining of the season is dodgey..... just for the fact at the start of the season you ve only SAILED A FEW STORMIES but havent really dialed your new gear in. In my case,,, up da road to ride pumping 8--- 12 foot spring swells and the start of the seabreezes.
Last thing you need is tissues paper and tears in the desert.
i always use the gear from the season before ..........then your dialed. No fken around.
Once summer is in full swing and your lazing kicking back its FLAT and windy .... get new ones,,,,, THAT get you motivated for the end of the season .... dial them in and your ready for winter and the next season .
