Not much info beyond this post: www.pooleharbour.co.uk/blogs/foiling-blogs/a-debrief-on-the-new-naish-foils-2026?srsltid=AfmBOootZ5cnc8XYBYTM64yoUpuch5h5k2bFl3QXNrQqQ7ugCVrY5ySS
I'm hoping the next gen get closer to the glide and pump of the Code / KT / AFS.
Looks like a new mast as well? Spotted on the naish on the IG account.

If it's a whole new system, then it risks people changing brands? Surely the mast will stay?
Pretty sure mast is the same as the current version.
The fuse looks to be changing.
There are a few shops in AU that have some in store for viewing, seems to be a bit of confusion around if they are available for demo yet - maybe JB can clarify.
From what I've seen current mast will definitely work with the new setup - new fuse needed however, means current foils become redundant.
Found this page buried in the website that has a diagram of a funky frankenstein-esk looking fuse connection thingy - not sure what's going on there but I'm sure more to come whenever the official announcements are:

That fuse looks kinda bizarre. Interesting.
Other brands move to a two piece approach, Naish to a 4 piece one.
In my (non-engineering) head, more pieces means more screws which means more points of failure. We will see

This was a pre-production concept; however, the final product-which I've had for a few weeks now-features a aluminum single piece fuselage.
