Just wondering when we will see all the major brands launch their 2016 ranges and update thier websites. There are heaps of "sneak peeks" all over the net, but I can't remember when they all started updating last year.

Dam my impatients does anyone know, or remember from last year?

cheers

Due to the fact that the northern hemisphere' summer is just starting to kick into gear, for brands to launch next years gear now, would make it tough for those retailers.

Expect to start to see gear in September...

SUCCESS, Those new Severne sails look the biz, thanks for posting.

^^^ Fanatic have thier wave/freestyle 2016 boards up on thier website to look at now.

Saw this for sale on ebay, but apparently it's a surfboard.....

2016 Severne

www.severnesails.com/

Fair bit of pimping going on

I reckon I could say 2016 XYZ boards see www.xyz.com




any reviews or actual info, or do we just get the shops and sponsored few informing us that the 2016 gear will in fact be available at some time?

Picked my new S1's. 5.6 in Pro and 5.2 in standard today.
Hope to test them out this week.

Feels strange to hold a 5.6 that's 0.5kg's lighter as the 5.2.

I think it's even stranger to buy a 5.6 and 5.2 ???

Most of the 2016 gear is ready to go up on our site with the click of a button but we have to hold off until the manufactures get it on their sites. Most have a launch date of the first week of August. I just put up the new Severne wave sails which arrive next week (fingers crossed). Patience, Summer is coming.
Cheers

If you pick one of these and put .com at the end you may find their website and their 2016 gear.

Not really. Most Europeans by new gear just before their summer holidays which start around June/ July and end August /September.

The shop usually start discounting around the time the trade shows start in mid September.

exactly.
So if we bought out our 2016 gear now (being July) the Europeans wouldn't buy the current gear 2015.

Europe is a far bigger market the Australia, so we need to keep them happy.

not much deco on the 2016 *boards

Some nice looking sails but I am still puzzled why they don't have a single one of their wave sails available in light construction.

Fanatic boards are up
