Saw it today, longer and slightly wider than the normal reload, looked like an absolute weapon, 10kgs lighter, when i am a bit older and have some money i am getting one! First 10 were for $5000 i was told 5 were sold before saturday, then goes up $1k, hopefully the price will come down eventually.... prototype looked quite rough so might even be better to wait until any kinks are sorted out. Pictures on the viking fb page i think ------------- http://www.legasea.co.nz" rel="nofollow">

Scratching my head at the price  . You could carry less gear (and lets face it, we are all guilty of taking stuff we don't need), or lose a couple of kg and still get the same benefit.

| 10kg lighter would be good for car topping. We’re not all built like the big guy from Big Angry Fish! |

Took me 10 years to go from a $500 Swing to a $1500 PF400 😁Way out of my budget but looks very nice. My shoulders ache so no heavy lifting. Sliding the PF400 into the van is ok. I reckon a carbon fibre 4m long Reload shape would be a winner, get it down to 15kgs 😂 |

There is no upgrade beyond a 400 Piwi.

| That's what I used to say about the Swing Muppet 😉 Actually chuck a transducer scupper and centre storage on a Swing and would have been perfect. |
