I think there's two options, a low cost made in China option, and the more expensive custom made in Austria option.

The 20% discount makes them very competitively priced, but this is only for the first 100 boards.
After the initial discounted offer is gone, the normal rrp is still much lower than the mainstream brands, but there's a risk with a new brand on resale values. You can always sell a used iSonic or Falcon, but not sure how easy it'll be selling a used WeOne. And we don't know how the boards perform, quality etc. But I'm pretty sure if Ben VD Steen is put his name on them, they'll be decent.

Personally, I'm all for a good brand with lower priced boards. In the UK, the iSonic carbon reflex is over 3k new, unless your a heavily discounted team rider, it's too expensive. Three slalom boards would practically be 10k !! AHD are a not brand who do lower cost boards.

I don't get the name, WeOne, maybe it'll sound better if they explain their logic behind there choice.

Defo think it'll blend well with Duotone 2021, 2022 and 2023 colours. Or Point7 black sails.

Auto text correct, I meant to say "AHD are another brand who do lower cost boards", they also seem decent.

Thank god for that, imagine if the colours clashed....

The shapes look familiar to me. They look like a re-branded F2 board.

I like the pin tail on the 58, that would fang in the higher winds. Colour is a bit out there,but l wouldn't kick it out of bed.
