That looks sweet. Add it to my big long list of gear that I would like. If my Exocet 11'8" link ever gives up I would think about one of those.

Richard may still have my old CarbOne, which you should try. Masttrack might need work but it'll blow past your Link and many free ride boards too. Stiff, pretty light, points well when powered and flat out fast.

I'd like that. I am hoping to repair my leaky Link and also fix the footstrap inserts. But I like it in chop much more than the Blast on large sails. Didn't push it too hard but was around 20mph reaching, could try some speedruns. The Carbon models probably are a lot easier to carry around and don't have that heavy soft top either.

I contacted Kona in Sweden. They now have a link for ordering:
kona-sports.com/en/articles/2.23.535/kona-one-all-carbon

The price is $3,200 USD plus freight plus customs duty. They won't estimate freight but they say you can order and see what freight price gets calculated, then cancel the order if unhappy. They invoice you before dispatch, so they don't take your money the moment you order. They (Joachim) also said freight would be cheaper if we combine some Australia orders.

I am tempted, but there's still a lot of unknowns.

Just placed an order for delivery to New York state. Joachim has not been back to me with freight cost yet. I'll try to remember to update this thread once I hear...

I've been told $400 or $500. For just one, you're trying to piggyback into someone else's 20 ft. shipping container and there is really no going rate for that. Joachim has been out of touch for the last week, I'll come back with solid details when available.
