Looks like one of the local XC gods (or 'hacks' as the Brits would phrase it), Al 'The Hammer' Thielmann, is starting his own school/dealership.
As a start up promo, Al is offering the Niviuk Ikuma at an impressive discount when compared to other high end EN-Bs in the region (especially in light of the beating the CAD has taken recently).
With an eye to helping local pilots find the best bang for their buck, here is a comparison of the current state of pricing from the various dealers for high end B wings.
