This short-luff, compact sail provides quick acceleration with ultra maneuverability!  It is soft in the hands and powerful in the light winds.... A sail that will do whatever it is told!

The 4 batten skeleton (4.2 - 5.0m), reduces weight while generating power. 5 battens (5.3 - 6.6m) for exceptional stability in gusts. It has a forgiving character that delivers instant on/off response offering great control. The Low aspect ratio is perfect for wave, freestyle and freeride sailors. The window shape is optimized for viewing the wave so you can see exactly where you need to go. A triangulated load bearing panel gives an unmatched strength to weight ratio.

Bottom line
A radical do it all sail- works great for wave, freestyle and freeride jumping applications. A progressive rig with great range in the gusts -  it will not let you down. This durable construction will take abuse and keep you going strong.  The new-school design will take your sailing to the next level!
