The other companies better have their R&D working on a similar arrangement or it will be game over.
No need for R&D though the tech is ready made and sold by Carbon Compact:
thecarboncompact.com/As of last Surf Expo they started licensing it to every company interested.
I hear
Infinity and
Blue Planet are already in talks.
Sunova has exclusive deal on the race boards for the near future though. But surf and sup surf are open to all.
Personally I have a sup long board by Carbon Compact and that stuff works. Way better than my SIC 2 piece board.
