Why paint a carbon board? I always like the look of carbon gan get a bit warm at times though

Thats why , i woldn't like to leave it out in the hot queensland sun for too long.

They need to add a mast mount to make it a perfect all round water recreational toy.

I have this thought in the back of my mind of a kite assisted downwind board. Add a small single line drogue kite that gives that little bit of extra speed and lift to a shorter board so you can ride more runners and do it in lighter conditions.

Is this the same board AA?

DJ, the Woody I believe was the first proto and the carbon came later.
THis board is still evolving from what I have heard.

Kinda sounds like the good old days of wave/slalom windsurfing boards. I'm not convinced you can have a board that surfs well and is competitive in a race. might do both pretty good but not as well as a surf or race specific board.

Totally agree Cam, it will never be as good as having two boards, but it would be pretty cool to have a fast paddler that can handle waves.
Having used the Gun a fair bit there is something exciting about a board that morphs a race/DW board into something you can surf. I guess the 12' Gun is a surf board that aint to shabby 'point to point' and this is a 'racing' board that aint too shabby in the waves. It could open up those really distant breaks!
