Looks like purple is the new black. Everyone is getting in on the act.

The grip does a great job of representing an open laceration.

I've seen far worse

at least it no longer has PRO EDITION in a giant font size

I like it. Far too many board makers have graphics that look like running shoes or cordless drills. I like colour!

Getting back to the redness of Severne sails, I picked up this new Turbo Dec 22 in a very cool black which I think must have been a test-run. I have enquired about buying a new sail coming out later in the year and no blacks, just the usual all-red, which is a shame.

I have a big black Blade (6.7) and really like how it stands out. A few others at the beach have commented on liking it too. The Point 7 are deeper black for sure but still fun to see.

Now, if they only had a black HGO 9.0, now that would be sweet.

Because the pontoon boats and cruisers that already ignore my red one would love my black one. Yesterday was tough at times.

Good news then, more black/anthracite Severne sails coming! Black NCX in the Fox V3 video at 0:13

How good does the red look on the board! Many companies are moving away from red to green etc for numerous reasons, but on sporting equipment I like red.

I'm sailing at that same location TopcatRacing with black Blades. I wanted the reds initially, but kinda started to like the darker colours. At least there are not that many sails that looks similar and you don't need purple or pink to stand out as a brand ;)

Blue is cool for 2023
