Are there any plans for an Insect TS board in the near future?

Wouldn't a TS Insect just be a roe crossfire? Or did I miss something.

Yes... there will be an Insect TS board available shortly! Technically, they're available now as shipments are on the way to the US, UK, and Germany. And no... the TS won't be a RoeRacing "Crossfire", though I understand the confusion. The relationship between RoeRacing and Insect has been very tight since the launch of the RoeRacing Performance Series, and continues to be so, but Insect and RoeRacing are separate companies. The new Insect shapes are totally different from any RoeRacing models.

There's been a lot of demand for Insect slalom decks over the last year so we're going to go ahead and offer a dedicated line. We're about to launch 3 models: a TS, a "Hybrid", and a new GS. The design of this new line has taken into account the requests of a fairly wide cross-section of the international slalom community. It's impossible to please everyone, and foolhardy to try, but we believe in this line and stand by it.

We'll be making the full announcement shortly.

Thanks,

Steve
