I'm not a big fan of inflatables.. But that looks really good.. The board looks great too..

After buying an inflatable for the wife & squids last summer and discovering something of the paddle-ability and benefits of travelling with one I'm coming around to the idea...would love to try one of these (or the starby or Uli one)
Wow the inflatable side of sup is making quite progressive steps these days.
Looks great for overseas travel.....even if one might have to regress to being a "crawler" & find a non sup when encountering surf 
i'm impressed if its as good as they say.
case study- lacey( thats me, but my name is not really lacey, but for the purposes of this sad tale, close enough is good enough), wants to do a dw er - good conditions, but no ones around.
walks to the pirate pk palmy with this board all ready inflated, paddles out to the alley, dws to the main beach.
gets out his towel from a waterproof bag in his naish back bag that he has worn dw ing, dries off, deflates the board, packs it up, walks to a bus stop- one way back to palmy please
Call me skeptical but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say these things will never work on a downwinder. So many critical design elements required in a good downwind board that these surf mats can't achieve. Having said that, I really like the shape in the photo above and would be happy to take that out on a downwinder.
starboard are getting in on it big time by the look of it too...found these on another site ...they have a 12'6 and 14 version out.
I have seen and lifted the Starboard 12'6 a coupleof times now and each time I am surprised as to how light and rigid it is. Inflatables have come a long way and it seems the big brands are starting to put some r&d dollars into them so they can keep evolving.
Wouldn't buy one gizzie if they give Maori ownership of the the wind as they are talking you will lose your board on the way to the water 
i think that mistral set the ball rolling with one design racing in europe with both a 12' 6" and a 14'
have a look at the demo day pic. looks like they've got plenty of money to throw around

Any idea how much the Naish "The One" will be retailing for?
Great option for traveling, SUP businesses etc.
Surely they would be around $1000 for a 12'6 and $1250 for a 14"?
