JB, when do we get to see the 2022 Naish foil systems?
The 2022 gear is already here
. I think you mean 2023
. release dates are all crazy and messed up. This is why Naish are kind of using a "Season" dating method. S26 (2021/22 Season) out now, S27 (2022/23 Season) the up coming season.
The key thing to know and be stoked with is all the wings (front and rear) are fully interchangeable with the modular foil system coming, in fact if you include the MA foils which are kind of an early released S27 item, the foil wing lineup is somewhat unchanged. There may be some surprises coming mid year when the core of the S27 gear launches as usual.
Manufacture and shipping right now are a nightmare, delays are imminent. The main city where just about everything is manufactured in China for our sports has just been locked down. So things could get longer without prior warning. One thing is for sure though, prices are going up up up! Freight has doubled from some factories, and ex-factory costs are through the roof. This will not be brand specific, it will be across the board. I think there will be good value in buying exisiting stock.
If any of you are going to the QLD wing racing titles, you may catch a glimpse of some of the gear
Ride safe,
JB
