Great work. I have also wondered why some brands are so impossible to find. In that way they do not sell many boards.
Also contacted Mikes Lab in December for an offer. No reply at all. Guess they can not produce as many boards as required from customers.
Well ordered a Temavento. Just recieved it. Cant wait to try

I need some more sessions on it to give it a fair review.
I am still new in the world of racing. (first session in Oktober 2012) So not on a top level at all. My first board was a 2012 Naish Venturi, then a 2012 North ltd69 and now the 2013Temavento.
From the Naish to the North it was like a revolution. The North was tracking much better and simply just faster. But the build quality of North is not impressive.
Quality vice the Temavento is at another level. Really amazing. Like I said I need more sessions, but it feels faster upwind. Downwind (this is still a discipline where I need practise) so in lack of experience I think maybe the same, but already prefere the placement of the straps on the Temavento. And my legs do not get as tired when sailing.
So first impression is possitive

I tried my 2013 Naish with new fins...huge improvement.

no website for the cf6(?), plus Nils is now designing for gaastra, and the board is similar.

Yeah I know. I'm guessing there is some politics somewhere. For me it doesn't matter since I only mess around here.
It was kind of funny to notice the difference in glide, stability and easy of turning. I rode the board back to back, and it was pretty amazing.
