IME this upcoming season is going to be freaking exciting :) for both kites and boards :))

Ozone
Yet another major change (they did one last season:) Sport + will be replaced by C4. Knowing Ozone they must have done sh&^ loads in testing and dev...can't wait to get one.

Cabrinha
Nomad...god damn it...Never liked Cabrinha but Nomad, "non-bow hybrid" must be a nice one to try. Will be nice one to try :)))

Naish
The best about them is the lost of Raven and keeping the everlasting beauty- Torch, in their line. Well done Naish...not well done for that Cult thing but....:)) hehe

North
Shame, shame they have turned Rhino into that little bizarre canopy from the one of the most excellent C kites. By god, Rhino was the most spectacular C kite...well apart from the X4 hahaha. But they still have Vegas...not as nice as but maybe this year will be amazing. As far as I remember all brands envy North for their dev work :) Lets see...

Last but not Least :))) The Shinn Boarding...Mark has left Nobile and established his own brand....OMG!!! His experience is amazing in boards design, test and dev so....I can't wait to ride one!!!

So C kites and Mark Shinn boards :) YEAH!!!...and 30 knt on Sun hahahaha...
