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.

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 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.

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.

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.

The MauiSails Global continues to grab the attention of sailors and testers worldwide as it is discovered to be an ideal choice for on-shore and bump and jump conditions most often found in average sailing conditions. Creating a wave sail that generates smooth power that is manageable at all times is always a challenge. This year we have responded by designing in a light feel that can be enjoyed during a wave maneuver while still maintaining the superb power and handling. You can punch through ragged whitewater and be ready to catch those wind driven waves.
The graphic treatment provides for a large stable film window view and continues the evolution of the Global design theme of 2009. New tack area chafe materials, wrinkle reducing leech load point attachments, US made X-Ply materials, and shape driven batten tapers round out the features for 2010 performance.
If you are looking for a most excellent power wave sail that manages a wide range of conditions with a docile character, Global is the best choice for you.

The S-1 is ultra-light, manoeuvrable and encompasses the latest technological advances in Severne materials and shaping.With a flatter profile and tighter skin tension, the S-1 responds at light speed allowing for placement of the rig with absolute precision.
The 2010 S-1 is the lightest and most durable yet.Materials have been upgraded, the shaping refined and the swing weight moved lower in the sail, closer to the rider's hands.
The Btnount of monofilm in the sail has been halved.This has been replaced with the twisted spectra and aramid structure of KS Optic X-ply, increasing the durability and reducing the weight. e4 has been extended above the top batten to lighten the head of the sail and to bring the swing weight down towards the rider.
The foot panel has adopted the same bombproof HD Dyneema X-pty used in the Blade

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

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

Designed primarily as a Bump and Jump sail the core principles of the 2010 Kult are power, speed and manoeuvrability, all delivered in a simple and extremely durable package.
Full Xply construction, aramid reinforcing throughout and multiple abrasion resistant features mean the Kult will handle the rough stuff.
The power placement is forward and low and the leech has a beautifully progressive twist. You can lock in and blast comfortably at high speed even in the roughest conditions. All this speed and control means massive jumps, so be warned!
With it's loads of low end grunt the Kult becomes a really handy Power Wave sail for larger riders who crave a manoeuvrable sail with lots of horsepower.
The Kult is also perfectly at home cruising in flat water so it is the perfect choice for intermediate sailors who want to progress.
The 2010 Kult is the ultimate allrounder.

The 2010 Ka Kaos delivers exactly what every wave sailor craves. There is ample power to punch through the whitewater and drive through bottom turns, while neutral on the wave face and light in the hands through transitions.
Forward draft placement locks the power in and the dacron luff panels gives the foil the flex to switch the power off when not required.
Full Xply construction with loads of aramid in the high stress areas ensure this sail can weather the harshest conditions.
For 2010 abrasion resistance has been taken to a new level. Features include a new thermoformed mast pad, PVC mouldings on the batten pockets and on the foot and lower seams. The intelligent placement of high tech materials has also allowed some weight reduction without compromising strength.

For 2010, MauiSails introduces a specialty, ultra-light, Technora wave sail called the GHOST XT. The name says it all. The GHOST XT provides surreal, barely there, lightweight handling, together with good power for low wind wave sessions.
Co-Sail Designer Art Szpunar had these comments about the new and exciting design:
"After using the Technora scrim in our XT series race sails for the past two seasons and noticing the material’s excellent combination of ultra-light weight and good durability, we couldn’t resist making some wave protos. I ended up using a 5.3 GHOST XT proto for countless big wave, light wind sessions this last winter and fell in love with the sail.

Some would say that a legend is a story that is set in stone, a grand tale of the best in the past. But MauiSails™ is not satisfied with leaving things as they were, and always seeks to bring steady improvements and performance value to their finest pure wave sail ever.
Building off of the test and contest winning Legend range of 2009, we have taken the concept of the soft feel and slippery power to new levels. The Legend represents the cutting edge in wave sail design with a balanced forward-oriented power point for hard-driving bottom turns and flawless release twist profile for radical, gouging top turns. Stylish graphic appearance combined with structurally effective material use and location, continue to evolve in Artur Szpunar’s creative imagination. Small detail upgrades make the surface as smooth and efficient as possible.

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).

The Blade's ideology is derived from the fusion of power with control. This sail is designed to drive power down into the board through every turn. The handling remains constant across the entire wind range with every size fine tuned to get you dialled into any conditions.
For 2010 the weight of the Blade has been radically reduced, whilst durability has increased due to extensive use of eM3. This new material fuses e-series technology with MetaleX.
Less seams in the main body panel has not only increased the vision through the sail, it has also increased durability.

The SWAT is a 4 batten wave sal with a compact outline. It promotes a light, soft, manoeuvre orientated feel aimed at the lighter rider.
It features a dropped dew, for reduced boom lengths, a straight foot for radical wave and freestyle performance and has a full X-ply construction for durability.

The Charge remains Aerotech's down-the-line wave sail. This model has the ability to hold good power when needed but remains neutral for transitions or wave riding. For 2009 it is even more tuneable and the twist is positioned a bit further down at maximum downhaul. this gives the Charge a softer feel but keeps the power and improves stability and high wind control. Aerotech was the first to offer a 100% grid sail and the Charge continues that tradition for 2009. Lots of color gives this sail a real "look at me" appeal. It is one of the most durable wave sails ever produced using triple throw stitch seam construction.

The Phantom remains as Aerotech's most powerful wave sail. This sail has a very full shape and 6 battens so it lowers the planing threshold as low as possible. This sail is a wave sail first, but due to its stability and power it crosses over to freeride and bump-and-jump use quite well. The Phantom's ultra durable 100% grid construction and huge rante make this sail one of Aerotech's most popular models.

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.
