For a Free Fast Planing Sensation
To streamline the range we morphed the high-performance Freeride Eagle
line into our cutting-edge pack of Sharks. The Shark's finely CAD-tuned
scoop rocker lines deliver performance and comfort. The compact and
balanced outline, with wider center and narrower tail shapes supported
by our CAD Logical Volume Flow, guarantees control and comfort in any
conditions. Smooth rails carve through chop like powder for satisfying
jibing sensations, and a clean Power-V bottom shape ensures swift water
release for outstanding speed and turnability.
The three smallest sizes 100, 115 and 125 descend from the Eagle. These
three global test-winners now feature high-resistance "Shark-Skin". All
sizes are available in unbeatable value High Resistance Skin (HRS)
that's perfect for everyday use.
Key Developments:
- Much shorter and wider compact outlines
- Reduced area 80 pintail for less drag, improved speed and turning
control
- Fuller front rails for a forgiving ride and smooth jibing. Thinner
rails in the tail for tight turns and grip
- Higher rocker for amplified control
- Increased V for release and carving ability
- Increased double concave for cutting through the chop on max power
- Domed deck for comfort and ultimate footsteering feel
Fanatic Shaper Sebastian Wenzel:
"The Sharks got a lot of attention and pretty intense R&D this
time round. We wanted something that would be forgiving to the
first-time jiber through to more advanced sailors hell-bent on cranking
powerful turns. The most important thing we achieved from the CAD
analysis was the easy-to-use aspect from a more compact outline and
smoother volume flow."

"very
clear favourite from this test...we very strongly recommend this sail
for any recreational freeride sailing and drag racing...great feedback
and power while retaining easy handling, good top end and
maneuverability...very impressed with it's real competitive edge over
it's rivals without sacrificing comfort in any way...faster and more
comfortable for blasting and maneuvering than opposition...excellent
acceleration and top speed...extremely forgiving in heavy chop...allows
very easy maneuvering of the board and goes neutral for easy
handling...it is the first time for several seasons that we tried a
no-cam sail that seems to move the genre forward a notch....best
acceleration, always fast. Impressive"
