Ils ont déjà deux, voire trois gammes wave si on inclut la nouvelle Omnia, ce serait (encore) une nouvelle gamme ?

Bonne question, un début de réponse ?
(Ola.H) The new one is based on a new rocker we work on with Marc Paré. More center curve and a very fast tail, similar to Omnia, but in contrast to the Omnia this one has v up front and a single with a double in it in the back.
The Fly, which is arguably the best liked wave board on the market, both radical and easy, has kind of a constant rocker curve with a v throughout and some double with the v configured to give a bit more rail rocker towards the tail. But when Marc came back (and had obviously developed his wave sailing) he felt the Fly rocker was kind of braking a bit in hard front foot turns. So he wanted more curve in the center to give the whole bottom a more wing foil like flow (more curve in the entry, less in the trailing part). This coincides with what I have been doing for many years for my own boards and in fact also with the rocker on the original Simmer Fly.

NEW MATERIAL // VX-Ply
The new VX-Ply significantly reduces sail deformation compared to the previously used Q-Ply material. Vertical stretch is reduced by more than 20% in high-load areas, while VX-Ply is also 30% thicker than Q-Ply, making it far more durable. The result: improved responsiveness, a wider wind range, and enhanced durability
