Here's a video, which shows a "new" SS board. It looks somewhat like the SS 103 but with a radical nose. Note the sail's mast placed right near the front. Is this just a prototype or should we expect to see this in production for next year?

I think this board has been pointed out before on this forum but not in so much detail.

I did a bit of digging. From video discussion.



"Wind was about 20 to 25mph even though it looks lighter in the video. I was on a 3.7m Goya Fringe and weigh 165lbs. Emily is on a 2.8m Goya Fringe. I am riding a 112cm foil mast and Emily is on a 101cm foil mast."



"It's a prototype Slingshot board, Tony Logosz design. It is 4'2" long and 101 Liters."

Gee you think it would be nice if he mentioned her weight!

Windsurf foiling is the closest thing to ice or concrete windsurfing that I have ever felt on the water! It is so low drag and light sail loads if you want it to be.

This is so true , When the ice-season ends and I'm back on the water everything is so slow and bumpy , unless you foil .
