An Aluula wing would be the business... Looking forward to this one!
Only 130 days to go! ::)

I've been holding off on a new one because of this. The guy who told me about it, described it as the lightest and most upwind efficient wing he've seen so far... and it is Aluula.
-
I am looking forward to seeing it in the wild.
An issue with aluulu in kites is the leading edge is lighter, but the canopy is still same old ripstop. So it's a partial solution at this point.
But on a wing, especially big sizes, the leading edge dominates the materials. If it is twice the strength for half the weight, that is honestly a game changer! My 6m ozone leading edge may be a foot thick at the middle ... cut that in half, that should massively improve its capabilities.
-
Yes, I'm thinking small diameter, high pressure, stiff leading edge and strut, made of super lightweight material is absolutely going to be game changing... We'll see in a few months! The countdown is on the Ocean Rodeo website...

I finally got to see a Cabrina, I was impressed. The strut can be pumped super stiff, and the leading edge at 6 pounds seems stiffer than my F-ones at 10.
