Jve said..Kalevi said..Gong released 11 different models of lightweight hollow foil boards today, ranging from downwind boards to freestyle boards. They’re also designed for jumping. Prices are around €1,700.

Am I the only one thinking those shapes look like total rubbish? Of 11 models, I can't find one I'd even consider.
Totally agree. None of the mid length variants has advanced shape like the KT SK2 (which I own and love), Armstrong ML MK2 or Omen. The thickness is also off the charts - ~6" for a 90L board?
Have to say I'm not that impressed by the weight either. I recall seeing something like 4 kg for that 90L board. Gong reports board weights without the deck pad, so I assume the weight is 4.3-4.4 kg. A KT SK2 pro in 90L is 4.7 kg...
