Yeah I saw that-what a feat! I'm pretty happy with my quiver of V2s but I'd like Armie to go for a canopy that is less likely to bag out and/or tear and a frame that is as stiff as my DLab (I chose not go for the OR since quite a few riders in my area had delamination issues-I digress).
If the price of that other Kiwi's new mast is anything to go by, my guess is that Armie would (almost have to) go even higher. I'm wondering whether the CF V2 wings and that unreleased board are aimed at targeting the wake/tow market, which is considerable in the US. Armie was in Utah not too long ago doing some behind-the-boat stuff. Going after the SUP/downwind market concurrently with the wake/tow market does not seem advisable, from a business standpoint. Armstrong is, after all, a small company. I'll be waiting eagerly!
I'd like tonsee some pictures of this Delamination. If it was the gold coming off, that is cosmetic and UV protection and has nothing to do with strength.
If you want d-lab- all Allula is produced from the same secret place, using the same secret recipe.
I really want to give a dlab a go as the previous units were really good!
