Hey folks,

I just want to spread the word about our new concept boat the "EC 16" Check it out at kuleanaboats.com.

I'ts more boat than windsurfer, designed for multi-day camping trips and adventure racing. It is a crossover between windsurfing, sea kayaking and a SUP.

Take a look at it on our website and let me know what you think.

It's the waterman's ultimate adventure.

Interesting, maybe you can post this on the Standupzone.com as well, it's pretty active over there, as well as the 'stand up paddle' section on this site.
Those sails on the beach need some attention.

Nice; I've been sketching something similar for years but never done anything about it. May I ask how it balances in light winds with the centreboard so far aft?

I love it!

... and thankyou for expressing your environmental care.


Do I actually see two inline centreboards? Maybe the aft one is like a little retractable skeg?

Hey folks,

Thanks for the feedback.

You are right we need to fix those sails! The day we made that trip there was no wind so we paddled to the island. It wasn't until we started rigging up the sails for the photo shoot that we realized we forgot the mast bases. We only wanted to use those photos to set up the website, but we have not had a chance to get them replaced yet, but we will soon.

Saltyheaven - the boat performs very well in light winds. With the V-nose and hard chines it goes upwind great.

Again thanks for your input and please follow us on facebook and let us know how we can improve.

Trey
