Piros my guess on timing is they would want them to be ready in time for the northern hemisphere summer. But that is a total guess would have to get it from the horse's mouth.
Interesting design on the 14 foot downwind one looks very simialr to a Bill Foote 14 footer with the pulled in tall and wider fore section.
Had a chat to the guys at coreban and they are pushing hard to get the boards ready and shipped out in about 3 months time! they do look great and Ivan told me that when they did the R&D on the race boards the team riders all said it was boards that are in a class of their own! I cant wait to get one!
Yes it is great stoked to see manufacturers getting into making unlimited SUP downwind racing board designs. I hope this sport really takes of in Australia as it is so big in Hawaii with some big name surfers right behind it & into it. We really need a Pub chain like Hennessey’s in California to sponsor these downwind races. As downwind paddleboarding really didn’t take of in this country I think maybe they had the wrong guys promoting the paddleboarding downwind sport? ( I think they needed the clubbies to run with it I believe would have been the way to go). see ya in da ocean DW
looks like it's going to be a big year on the race scene.
Good bloke to have a chat with too..
