For which @Jezza replied:
For me “only” an orange flag can be on. If you take time to study both stories, there are many similarities:
- a trend (efoil today) previously a JetKart (2015) and previously a SurfJet (2014) and a disrupting product among this trend or fashion,
- blows and whistles for the upcoming launch,
- three year warranty,
- world championship the following year…
- …
However, never a cent was collected, you had (of course) many disappointed people but nobody was ever robbed.
Shit can happen in life. Today, I would never buy the suitcase if the key points were not verified by a couple of trustworthy persons: 15kg (used to be 18), 1 hour autonomy, 1 hour charge, self stabilisation.
I for one not a “red” but “orange” flag because:
- no pre-order, no money to send, Mark/Marc says “enough stock”,
- it is safer than kickstarter (sending money when the product is tested and in stock)
- we all know his face and where his workshop is,
- normally a first visual contact with the product in 3 days, and a direct touch and feel for the people able to go to the Paris boat show depite the strikes
I want to give this product a chance because, so far, there is nothing that can be lost except hope in a really efficient product.
