Can't seem to get the link to paste but on Infinity YouTube there's new post showing Blurr V3, a sub 7' Escape Pod, tweaked smaller wide speed, and a mystery model to come. Excited for the V3, saw the one he mentions in real life but it's comically small. Would have liked quad option for V3. Cheers

I figured a new Blurr should be coming soon since my local shop has had the Blurr V2 on sale for quite a while and all the other Infinity models have gone back to normal prices after the Black Friday sales. Maybe the v2 will go down even further...
On Dave's YouTube video he says they have dropped the B Kline and RNB gone. So lineup is going to be Pod, Speed, Blur v3 and another new one coming out soon. Oh plus the New Deal I guess but he never mentioned that model.
.Can't quite figure out what they are doing on the Speeds from what Dave says. Never really found the 8/2 twitchy, in fact the opposite of that. I found it needed some positive foot pressure on the bottom turn to make sure the rail engaged, prob because of the wide square tail ?
It seems to me that these changes are to make the different models fit better inside the catalog:
RND, B-Line and Speed were a bit on the same ecological niche ==> keep one (Speed), and try to widen its scope by tweaking it depending on the sizes
position the Blurr v3 a bit more out of the scope of the above, the outline seems to me more radical (ends more pulled in)
and widen the Escape pod range.
This tendency to reduce the number of models, expand their range of use, and avoid too much overlapping in programs seem to have happened in nearly all brands.
Here are the dimensions of the 90-liter Blurr, current model and the prototype shown in the video:
BlurrV2: 7'11" x 27.5" x 90 liters
BlurrV3: 7'8"" x 26" x 90 liters -- shorter and narrower for the same volume, so probably a change in thickness
We'll have to wait for the final specs, but the dims seem to be fairly different

I suspect that the New Deal is their best selling surf SUP, so I don't think it's going anywhere. It makes sense to get rid of the RNB and the B-Line as per Colas' post. Far too much overlap between the 3 models. Bigger Wide Speed models can replace the RNB. Smaller models are being tweaked to do what the B-Line was doing, I guess.
I am tempted by a bargain Blurr V2. The local shop has both an 8.2x30 and an 8.5 x 30.5 in stock at a good price.
Here is a link to the video since Kisutch was having an issue
Yeah the RNB and Escape Pod seemed especially overlapped in their niche (though they have different features), the B Line supposedly had the most rocker, I think for punchy beach break. I was always intrigued by it, kind of weird to couple a wider tail w rocker. I tried to hop on a 70'ish liter one (only one I'd seen in the wild) and it sunk so much I couldn't try on inside of break w/o fins touching. also the stock dims of RNB were annoying cause you had to drop to 85L to get to 7-7- Escape Pod goes short at higher volume, maybe bad for lightweight folks but seems better for most.
not that this is very helpful but this is my V2 next to micro V3, lol I don't hang w pro dudes but I got a lesson from Maltese who is great
