Lil SasquatchHOST
No, it's not.
RoneHOST
Polyester? What's the blend?
Lil SasquatchHOST
It's a, a...
Lil SasquatchHOST
I would, I would say it's probably 80% cotton, if I had to guess.
RoneHOST
No, heavy cotton-
Lil SasquatchHOST
You're thinking of a heavy cotton, but you're saying poly- No one likes polyester.
Lil SasquatchHOST
Polyester has tarnished the fashion industry.
RoneHOST
That's what people say, but then Abercrombie & Fitch's stock is through the roof-

Lee GallagherHOST
For some of the boats that do that, they are literally production boats, or even the Royal Ocean Racing Club Transatlantic Race, they're production boats, but they've been optimised.
Lee GallagherHOST
So the masts have been changed from aluminium to carbon fibre, the sails have been changed from conventional Dacron, to serious carbon fibre sails or Kevlar taffeta backed, all sorts of modifications there.
Lee GallagherHOST
Even the steering wheels are changed from stainless steel to carbon fibre.
Lee GallagherHOST
The doors inside the boat are taken off and they're balsa wood laminate frame to reduce the weight, increase the power to weight ratio on it.
Paul Van BellenHOST
When I think of lot sales, I often think about the tinted, you know, bi-ply, is that what you'd call it? Yeah, bi-ply film.
Paul Van BellenHOST
With materials, you know, like I grew up in a period where I saw the change from kind of Mylar Dacron to just clear monofilm sails, which ended up being quite crinkly, you know, and then X-ply and then now bi-ply.
Paul Van BellenHOST
So obviously there's been developments in materials which have, you know, greatly improved a lot of aspects of windsurfing.
Paul Van BellenHOST
Is there something more coming on the pipeline with materials? Like is it...

Yeah, we use those.
Lloyd OsbonGUEST
And then rollers, we're using the Dacron, the Genox Professional, I think the Dacron ones.
Lloyd OsbonGUEST
They're good.
Lloyd OsbonGUEST

Lloyd OsbonGUEST
don't like the
Nate SellersGUEST
If you really dive into what a string is, a string is just continuous loops of one strand of material.
Nate SellersGUEST
And that strand is built up of tiny little fibers, basically Dacron for old bows and Dyneema and Vectrin for new bows, right? And so it's just a bunch of little million little fibers like a spider web all glued together that end up making one single filament of material.
Nate SellersGUEST
And then that filament of material spun around in a circle and then just served at the end.
Nate SellersGUEST
So there's no knot.
Sandy WongGUEST
And then the last piece is the actual, the fibers of the rug.
Sandy WongGUEST
80% of the rugs on the market are made of a synthetic fiber, such as Polyester, polypropylene, it's all synthetic.
Sandy WongGUEST
And so there's the concern about microplastics, right? Like every time you walk over the rug, you're brushing up microplastics and it's becoming airborne.
Sandy WongGUEST
And so we're inhaling that.
