Adam they just launched the board at Boot in Dusseldorf Germany with production boards available April/May. I'll be amazed if they can set up a distribution system that quickly but their marketing/distribution might just be as incredible as the board judging by your words on it.

By the way. I am looking at the m° web site and I see there is something weird. The new VRTS board is displayed by NS alone. The name of AB seems to have been erased from almost anywhere. Only a reference is left in the m° timeline, where it is said that m° windsurfing license was taken on by AB in 2008 and taken back by "Mistral red dot" in 2014. The name of AB does not appear in the "community" page, which is weird if one thinks he was the first windsurfer ever to go over 50 knots on a 500 mts course and did that on a m° production board.
I also read in the VRTS launch: "Neil Scheltema Product Manager MRD Windsurfing Division", wasn't it AB's job lately?
This topic is starting to sound to optimistic with a lot of pessimistic chatter.l think we are all left in the gutter with some of us looking at the stars.lets wait for the board to gets some demo's and reveiws by experts.
