The third place. There’s windsurfing. There’s surfing. And there’s something else. When you go there, you’ll need the Zone. If you’re heading for a “close to surfing” experience, then the Zone is your ride; featherlight responsiveness, strength and control - it’s our most invisible sail yet. Super accurate point and shoot handling is the least you’d expect, but the neutrality and transparency is something you probably never imagined. Zone; the third place. It’s the place where Jason hangs out.

No boundaries. Every now and then, a development in sport comes along which redefines the parameters, rocks the establishment and ignites the human spirit. The Fly is such a development. Created for new school wave riders who also want to be pilots, the Fly says “no” to gravity - translating wave face into launching ramp - giving you more time for an airshow, or simply to explore the oceans from above. Fast, light, soft feeling, compact and maneuverable - the Fly gives you liquid control on the water too for the brief moments you’re there, with fully loaded power for aggressive rail-riding turn sand velocity down the line. Especially suited to multi fins boards.The Fly - it’ll take you to new places. (Just ask Kauli).

Very rarely so many physically different windsurfers became so intensively involved in the development of a single sail. This time heavyweights Jimmy Diaz and Kai Hopf put in their time as well as our flyweight freestylers Gollito, Brawzinho and André Paskowski. As a result we believe no other sail can cover the entire range from waves to flat water Freestyle as perfectly as the new DUKE.
The basic requirements for a Power Wave and a Freestyle sail are very similar: great planing potential combined with maximum handling and good controllability. The DUKE sizes up to 5.4m2, were designed as powerful Wave sails. By possessing the greatest trimming versatility of all our Wave sails, the DUKE ’s easily controlled by medium weight riders too. With the help of the brand new TWIN.TRIM.CLEW the variance of trim has improved again for 2010.
For sizes 5.9m2 and above, Kai Hopf improved the new DUKE strictly according to the specifications of our Double Freestyle World Champion Jose “Gollito” Estredo, Vice Freestyle World Champ Brawzinho and EFPT Champion André Paskowski. Already featuring 5 battens and HYPER.LEECH II it was the optimized foot geometry that really improved this season’s breakthrough in handling for modern Freestyle tricks. All DUKE models are made to suit SDM masts, which ideally fit this type of direct-feeling sail.

For 7 years, the Wave MC was a reliable partner for all power wave sailors and was among our top seller products. Now the time has come for a new design and new features for waves.
Power Wave, this means more drive and power than a radical wave sail whereas it offers maximum control in all conditions.
Our sail designer Renato Morlotti focused on lightness and user-friendliness.
This can be found in a new mast sleeve cut with less bending and new materials, which significantly ease rigging and trimming.
The new Transwave aspect ratio has been re-worked making the sail reaction very fast and giving it an extra turbo power supply for all drives and turns in the waves.
The previous rigid luff panel has been replaced with a dacron panel. This results in reduced panel tension, compared to its forerunner model, the Wave MC, which improves substantially the comfort, cushioning and power on/off.
Two clew eyelets give you a wide range of individual tuning: Opt for a rather direct (upper eyelet) or soft (lower eyelet) feeling.
Of course our new wave sail is equally at home with RDM and SDM masts.
An extreme durability and longevity are guaranteed by the 70% x-ply and complex reinforcements. Renato Morlotti calls it "a pure power wave machine for all wave spots in the world”.
Key facts:
Constant power development for very good planing performance
A more open sail top for more stability and control in high wind conditions
70% x-ply construction for extreme conditions
Better gusts absorption thanks to Dacron mast panels and less pre-tension
SDM and RDM compatible

Goodbye Hammer, welcome Steel, the new radical wave sail in the Gun Sails collection.
The Steel supports the pure waveriding style: easy to handle, stable, absorbs the gusts and fast reacting.
The new shape of the Steel concentrates more on the middle and lower area and the batten configuration was also re-designed. The New Steel is a little deeper than the Hammer and the centre of effort is positioned slightly nearer the mast, which makes the sail more neutral, eliminates any back hand pressure and extends the range of use in high winds.
A new panel layout with a robust Dacron luff panel offers a perfect on/off feel.
With the wider clew trim range, you can get a deeper profile and thus get more performance in onshore conditions or on low wind days.
A new feature is also the two clew eyelet concept which give you scope for an individual tuning: opt for a more direct or rather soft feeling.
Due to the fact that the construction and equipment of a radical wave sail are important purchase criteria, we have attached great importance to these points.
All sail windows are constructed in reinforced x-ply materials. Potential weak spots are protected by seam coverings or rubber tubes. Solid applications improve the frame. A “lightweight construction” is definitely not our style.
Key facts:
100% x-ply construction for maximum demands
Faster power on/off for radical wave rides
A repositioned centre of effort avoids back hand pressure
Better gusts absorption thanks to Dacron mast panels and less pre-tension
SDM and RDM compatible

The 2009 Wave Panther takes over from the long running and successful
Wave SE as our premier wave sail.
Compared to the SE, the Panther has a shorter boom and is lighter weight. On the water, the Wave Panther has a smooth and direct power delivery, combined with very easy handling.
The Panther's design advantage allows operation in a wider wind range, so you can sail longer without the need to re-rig.
The leech area of the Panther utilizes our new, low stretch Technora-fiber sailcloth, which delivers superior performance with less weight. The Panther's mid and luff sections are made of our Spectra X film, for strength and great visibility throughout the body of the sail. We use higher density Spectra X film in the foot area to resist harness hook tears and nose-of-the-board punctures.

Suited for all levels of windsurfers, especially freestylers and sailors who prefer a flatter shape. The Freewave's effortless rotation makes it excel in jibes and transitions. The Freewave contains no monofilm. The main panels are made of our ultra strong Spectra X-film which provides strength and great visibility throughout the body of the sail. The tack panel utilizes our higher density Spectra X-film in the foot area to resist harness hook tears and nose-of-the board punctures.

A Dacron luff panel allows true de-power for lightning quick adjustments and a dependable feel that stays locked between the hands. A dramatic re-working of the big sizes, offers a new level in light to medium wind performance. New luff curves and shape flows throughout the mid sizes, add enough drive for today’s slower twin and multi fin boards. Just ask Thomas Traversa, Ross Williams, or Kevin Pritchard. No expectation is too high. This years Manic will blow you away.

The Naish session is a purist wave sail that combines a soft feel with plenty of available power for the non-stop surfing performance. A draft forward shape defined by a single dacron luff panel and moderate aspect ratio delivers balanced front hand pressure that goes neutral during maneuvers and smoothly releases in the gusts. The result is both the best down the line sail on the market and the ideal all-around wavesail for smaller lighter riders.
For 2010, the session features new construction and and our stepped leech outline, making it the lightest sail in it's class.

The Simmer Style heritage runs deep in this wave sail. This is the modern day version of the same sail that dedicated wave sailors and Simmer Style founders Klaus and Malte Simmer used to tear up Ho’okipa Beach Park with back in the day. We’ve constantly refined this sail over the years to make it the best wave sail around whether it was 1981 with tie-on booms at Ho’okipa or its 2010 with carbon masts and quad fins.

|

Way back in the day when Klaus and Malte were busy shredding Ho’okipa Beach Park, the materials we have today were simply not available. So for these guys, sailing on the edge of what’s sane, X-Ply would have been a blessing. The all X-Ply body paneling plus ”ever-clear” PVC window of the MISSION X create a side to side-offshore surf sail with a combination of smooth feel and the best durability of any sail in our collection. This smooth feel combined with ”pump-ability”, focused power point and a ”quickly neutral” handling characteristic, make the MISSION X the sail of choice for riders looking for top performance and the highest level of durability in gnarly surf conditions.

A World Cup Wave sail must have the potential to get the maximum out of every situation, because only victory counts. This is why the new ICE works even under the widest range of conditions, developing maximum performance under critical circumstances. This has been mainly achieved through the optimized foot geometry, a slightly set back centre of effort, and a reduced sail foil tension.
Extremely aggressive and - thanks to the optimized foot profile - a true handling miracle, especially when descending the wave: this is how our team describes this radical 5-batten power engine. Everyone has been impressed by the performance and the lightning-fast reaction of the ICE, which is totally independent from one’s own body weight.
NEW:
All ICE sizes were designed for RDM masts, but are still compatible with SDM masts. That’s why the new ICE feels softer and can be easily controlled and pumped onto the plane. These abilities are also supported by the modified luff curve and the optimized leech tension.
The iMODULAR.DESIGN ’s optimized sail weight continues to have a positive impact on handling. Since the ICE was designed for all World Cup spots, it functions equally well from Ho’okipa to Sylt, to Gran Canaria or at your favorite spot.

The aggressive EGO is a completely new breed of Wave sail, that can and does deliver more than regular Wave sails. Look into for a sail that’s truly ahead of its time. The EGO is the ultimate Wave sail for innovative riders!
The EGO marks a new era of Concept Wave sails, that we intend to develop consistently in the coming years, with a radical approach.
For us, the EGO represents a symbol of innovation, built with exceptional materials to incorporate the latest trends in sail design. Yet despite our passion for innovation, we are true to our motto „innovation follows function“. With this in mind, Kai Hopf developed the BALANCED.LUFF.LENGTH, a precisely balanced ratio of luff length to boom length. As short and compact as possible for radical handling and as long as necessary for a decent twist, and ensuring maximum wind range. In order to achieve sensible sizes, Kai uses the proven NORTH SAILS CROSS.BATTEN.CONCEPT in combination with the CUTAWAY.CLEW, that’s reaped real benefits in handling. When it comes to the number of battens, Kai is fairly conservative, since good high-end control and a wide wind-range still demand 5 battens.
IMPORTANT: the EGO is our first sail exclusively designed for RDM masts due to its special elastic characteristics. The smaller mast diameter perfectly matches this softer feeling sail and shorter luff.

Based an the ideology of the S-1, the XS-1 is a performance kids rig designed around the ergonomics of the smaller rider.
The combination of smaller rig ergonomics and the use of our unique e2 laminate reduce the swing weight whilst maintaining maximum durability, allowing even the smallest riders to excel in the gnarliest of conditions
It has been designed in unison with the Blue Line 300, a 60% carbon, reduced diameter mast and the reduced grip diameter and width of the Blue line 100-150 boom.

The all-new 2009 Surf Trainer sail is the perfect match for the Surf First Series board. Easy up hauling, large viewing window, and easy smooth feel are the defining characteristics of these sails.
These are beautiful and incredibly durable sails designed to help new windsurfers get moving on the water. They are built to take the beating that beginner sails take with their super strong all Dacron and PVC body construction. Endless hours of washing in the shore break, dragging along the sand, and the impact of knees and elbows are no problem for these sails.
Bright colors and eye catching design make this sail a fun tool for the learning process.

Building on feedback from our top freestyle riders like Taty Frans, Steven Van Broeckhoven, and Xenia Kessler, we have paid special attention to the many small things that make the difference for making the wild new moves that they continue to develop. Freestyle demands precise tension control and different twist character to be easy and consistent. Small outline changes to raise the foot, shaping to even the leech tension for those backwards flying moves, and structural panel arrangements to prevent weird maneuver damage, all flowed from our communication with the sailors.
A twisty new graphic, tough tack area reinforcements, the smoothest ever batten tension attachments, and a continued focus on durability make the 2010 Loco a perfect choice for top performance at a reasonable cost. Super light, stable, film construction translates into acceleration, speed, and controlled maneuvers that will keep any youthful performer happy at the highest level.

The Air X is an awesome multipurpose sail. It excels at freestyle but it also freerides and wave sails nicely. It offers a lot of range on outhaul adjustment so you can tune it for your preferred feel. For 2009 this sail continues to be the best value in a 100% grid model. The sail has the soft feel of the Charge, but lots of power like the Phantom.

First introduced in 2003, the Naish Boxer has redefined modern wavesail design and ushered in a whole new style of riding with it's compact outline and unique geometry. Featuring a single scrim luff panel, and increased luff curve to support the large leech area, the Boxer has the even pressure and nearly the same instant power as the Force, but adds the easy handling of the session thanks to the short luff and boom that keeps swing weight at a bare minimum. For 2010, the new construction and our stepped outline pushes the Boxer even further ahead of the pack of imitators. The ultimate wave and freestyle sail for new school windsurfers.
