New molded sails coming from North based on same process used for America's Cup and Maxi yacht sails. Coming spring 2018
(warning: uneven sound quality)
Pros: maybe the lightest sails on the market, great handling characteristics, about as impervious to UV as your board
Cons: Pricey.

I wonder why they would make a wave sail using this tech. Seems to me making a large racing sail would be the more likely application.
As an aside, now instead of having a room full of people at sewing machines making sails, it looks like a few guys sitting at computer terminals or hanging from a harness will be doing most of the work.

What happens in a black hole stays in a black hole.
It looks like that guy is controlled by a person sitting at a computer. It's a computer controlled human I guess. Looks like an interesting job for someone who just likes to hang around a sail shop.

That is cracking me up.
The cost is really going to come way down when 3D printers start printing 3D printers
Sheesh a computer controlled person
I think I would perform much better in that scenario
