Hi Carolyn,
Haven't you heard?
Kiting has been cancelled, and the return of the longboard (with a
standup paddling twist) is the big news of the coming season...;-)

Scroll down to Exocet Kona info:
http://www.surfingsports.com/blog.asp

As a bonus, the word is that it planes up remarkably well around
10-11kts...(MSRP has been set at $1099)

How much do you figure that will add to the price?

As an owner and sailor of an 20 year old longboard I'm curious to see
how the new boards sail.    Is opposite rail pressure the way to turn
the hull?   Do they pivot jibe like the oldies?   What do they do
differently, better, worse etc?     I for one would love to see people
out longboarding again.
