The Year That Won’t Sit Still
Join Phil Berman, founder of Balance Catamarans, in St. Francis, South Africa — where it all began — for a special October 2025 State of Balance update.
This isn’t our usual annual address. But with so much happening across the Balance world this year, Phil takes a moment to pause, reflect, and share the incredible momentum shaping our community, our models, and our future.
