I don't see any possibility to get Slick at any reasonable amount of time in future.
I noticed some European stores recently got Slick in stock and haven't even sold out yet. I used Google and found at least one US store that says expect to get stock this month (August 2021). No discounts though and it's an expensive wing to start with. I got mine in May and I like having the boom.
TheSkimbat/Kitewing had a boom decades ago. So the patent must be more specific than just "a hand-held wing with a boom". Maybe something to do with the inflatable part as well, which would probably block out the competition or force them to negotiate a patent license.
