Unchanged from 07, the Concept 2008 is the design of choice for schools and beginning windsurfers. 100% xply and light; ideal "starter" design.
The Concept 360 is designed with longer boom lengths and shorter mast lengths that lowers the rig gravity & power center. Low swing weight and light weight make the Concept 360 ideal for beginners and intermediates. |

360Free is The Loft's successful freestyle/freemove design.
Built light, right, and packed with power, the 360Free has been refined for 08. Monty worked with freestyle gurus Michael Rossmeier and Ruben Petrisie to improve handling for 08. New batten sections and batten taper schedules have extended the upper end of the 360Free.
The 360Free's simplicity and lightweight make it suitable for beginners and intermediate windsurfers.
Put the 360Free in the hands of a freestyler and the mix is volatile... an explosion of freestyle expression! |

THE LEARNER SAIL.
Xperience is a range of sails, masts and booms designed specifically to make learning to windsurf easy and fun for beginners of all ages.

| PRISMA's completely new low-end profile and the excellent twist dynamics ensure a powerful acceleration from low speeds. Thanks to the lower sail foil tension, it can be easily and comfortably pumped. Or just sheet in to start planing. The PRISMA simply ignores wind holes! These design features are combined with an extensive trimming versatility, which expands the upper wind range as well. In contrast to NoCam sails, two super-soft rotating HYPER.CAMS keep a solid profile even without wind pressure, providing extra draft stability. The PRISMA is particularly suited for the Race Board Class, and it's even officially certified for the Bic Techno Class! |
|
| DRIVE FIRST was specially designed for kids. Three sizes with an individual batten arrangement focus on children's ergonomic needs and physical power. In a nutshell, this is a highly valuable piece of equipment that makes windsurfing a lot of fun and gives kids satisfaction from the very start. Moreover, special mast and /boom components were developed for DRIVE.SUPERLIGHT and DRIVE.FIRST. So, both models are also available as complete rigs! |
|
| Its balanced construction with PROGRESSIVE.BATTEN.CONFIGURATION focuses on handling and draft stability on sizes up to 6.6 m2, which is why it features only 5 battens. At 7.0 m2 and above, the design shifts it's focus to planing and Kai Hopf once again concentrates on simple rig control and handling. Both versions offer excellent control, a high level of comfort, and plenty of planing power, creating the perfect synthesis of speed, acceleration, and handling. The new NATURAL will make windsurfing much less complicated, and for many the problem of choosing the right material will become obsolete. |

"Light and easy"
Developed specifically for beginners and schools,the Easyride sail is simple and light. It features a special foot design that simplifies uphauling and reduces friction with the board deck.
Relatively straight luff curve to minimize the effort in downhauling and rigging, the sail has minimal reinforcements, in order to keep the weight as low as possible. However it features long insignia tape stripes that reduce the possibility of breakage of the body.
The perfect match for Easyride M and L and also for the 360 Evolution EVA version. |

Designed from scratch to be used by small lightweight riders or novice adults, the Ripper3 is the third generation of our scaled-down version of our full size sails. The heart of the rig is lightweight, durable Ripstick RDM mast: an extremely soft mast, in all fiberglass construction.
The rig package is completed with our lightweight, small diamater boom.

| The '07 Ezzy Superlite rig is an entry level to intermediate level package designed to offer entry level sailors a cost effective way to get into our sport. |

"The Ezzy kids rig is a simple and durable design. It is so light that kids become comfortable light wind sailors in the first hour or two. My own son Evan learned sail 360’s and duck jibes in light wind his first day!"

The Loft produces two kids sails that let little rippers have their day.
The Kiddo and the Spark are simple, light designs that make windsurfing easy for young beginners. |

"First small steps"
The right cut is more crucial when objects are very small.
The Kidjoy is the perfect sail to see kids start windsurfing.
Every detail is in the right place.
The proportional clew height depending on the size of the sail that corresponds to the age of the "new" sailor, matching the height of the booms, to the Dacron luff panel that flutters when tacking and allows minimal strength to keep the sail in balance.

Key facts:
100% x-ply construction for risky sailing
Equal compatibility for standard or RDM mast
Moderate leech for optimal combination of handling and speed
6 batten concept with 1,2 or 3 tube battens, depending on size and range of use, for improved handling and more performance
The main aspiration of the re-design of the cross over sail was the performance.
Except the 4,6, all sizes are now equipped with 6 battens for more performance and a more stable center of effort.
All terrain performance means early planing, acceleration and speed, combined with ease of handling for flat and choppy water conditions.
The Nexus is a perfect choice for beginners and advanced, as well as for maneuver-oriented freeriders.
Being an extremely versatile sail, it absorbs also overturns, jumps and small waves, thanks to the 100% x-ply construction
Riders who prefer a crossover sail that leans towards high performance straight line blasting should opt for our Nexus; the ones who prefer doing tricks and maneuvers, should go for the Torro, which is their ideal choice. |
