Hi Ken and welcome, first off, could you tell us what were the design goals for the new Unit?
When we started working on the new Unit, we knew we wanted to achieve at least three goals. We wanted to have rigid handles. The floppy handles don’t work too well, no matter who makes them. We wanted to have a really good lift while luffing or flying on the leash so that when you let go of the wing or are holding it by the handle, it wants to lift rather than fall and we wanted to make sure it had really good stability for following behind the rider when the rider is riding on a wave or swell. All of these qualities are really valuable for surfing or down winding. The Unit started with the focus to be our surf wing and it still is a surf wing, but obviously, a better surf wing than ever before.
