The actual release of the 2009 gear is at the end of the month when the new website is released. Retailers recieve the first of all the info and all the tech stuff. The public will see all the info when the product hits the shelves and after the retailers get their chance to get their heads around the new gear.
Most other brands have only just finished their prices for 2009. Best will have stock in OZ stores in 2-3 weeks and all Premium Best dealers will have demo kit for customers to trial.
Please hang in there, as the 2008 season is still drawing to a close. 2009 will be here and gone before we know it.

Thanks
Joe
