New Generation of Longboards

In addition to the Starboard Serenity and Exocet Kona (the former a 16 ft long displacement mode only board, the latter a modern version of the original windsurfer) there is now a new generation of race longboards in the works - some using classic names (F2 Lightning, Mega Cat).

The size seems to be roughly 280-290 cm, vol almost 300 lt, width 80 cm. Basically, your Superlight 2 on Steroids.

I don't know if any of these will make it to the states, but looks like some new longboards are coming in Europe at least.

Prodigy on steroids? A lot of us thought that the big mistake with the Prodigy is not to make a very lightweight version. It seemed like a good idea but was way overbuilt for the performance enthusiast. These all look like neat boards but I imagine it will be some time before they become affordable.
