Unfortunately, carbon fiber has a very high demand and lagging supply problem. I too am a windsurfer and the price of our carbon gear has gone sky high in the past few months. An article in Windsurfing Magazine blamed it on Boeing- they are building passenger planes from the stuff and raw fiber production has shifted to the higher grade product thus creating a shortage in the sports grade (bike frames, masts, tennis raquets etc.). I do have a photo of a carbon fiber toilet that weighs 40 lbs. less than the standard porcellin variety; it looks like a porcellin standard (except its black).
