Mike De Sciascio and Jason P for showing that Aussies could shape boards as well as Hawaiians and for stopping the "can opener" trend.
"Can opener" ??
Asymmetrically-shaped boards - made them look like can openers.
Having sailed some out off Wanda, which see southerlies only for jumping, I was gonna mention them, but as a curiosity, not as an innovation that would rate high.
I would definitely point out the Kona/Windsurfer thing though. Nothing like the small sexy gear in waves, but the fact is that Kona owners never complain about the wind, get out more often, and seem to have as much fun than anyone. Kudos.
I like the combo of owning both kinda gears, which was not practical up to fairly recently.
