Glad to see that "porpoise power " aka "flex controlled oscillation" is still available for 2017. The more you bounce the faster you go.,,, apparently.
One thing occurs to me though : If this phenomenon were true, wouldn't inflatables be faster than hard boards?
The Ace Unlimited has gone from 17'4" to 18 feet and a width of 26.75". 412 litres and 35.6 pounds. I wonder if there will be carry handles on the rails this year? Just artist renderings on the website, so it remains to be seen but it was a major oversight not to have carry handles on the Ace GT the first time around. Now the board is around 4.5 pounds heavier than the first model. I liked that the Ace had multiple tie down points and can't tell from the website if there is any this year. This year's Ace will accommodate the super heavy weights out there, but I'm wondering about lighter riders now? It's a massive board that's quite heavy.
I noticed that the All Stars have come down in price significantly. Paddle surf warehouse in the States are taking preorders on the Hybrid at 2199.00, and the Carbon at 3,339.00.
