The Air X is Aerotech's best selling sail---it offers the security of 100% grid construction at a reasonable price. This sail still has all the features of the higher priced models and offers the ultimate in versatility. The Air X works great for freestyle and crosses over to freeride and on-shore wave sailing. This model sports a fresh new panel layout and lots of color. This sail will be in our line unchanged for 2007 and 2008.
Construction:
This model features 100% grid construction, a new raised stainless steel 6-1 pulley with oversized rollers, and insignia tape reinforcing. All sizes have adjustable heads. Rod battens are used for this range. These are some of the lightest weight hassle-free sails available. |

TheXI basically features the same profile as the W3Dbutwith the beautiful lightness of monofilm.lt is perfectly suited for freestyle action or simply lor conditions that are not as demanding on your equipment as wave spots can be.
The window panel is made from 6 mil Monofilm, transitioning to 5 mil on the upper panels except for the very top one that is usually taking some wear and impact Abo, the foot panel uses the same high quality douole X-Pty reinrorcments as the W3D does. Sure enough the XI features our full panel design that makes the sail more powerful, stable and forgiving. This said, it is obvious that the XI supplies suberb low end power and fast planing.
The 2008 XI features a hollow leach, which means that we were able to reduce the areas that have the most effect on the feeling and handling of the sail. We distributed more of the surface around the foot batten and at the top, resulting in more low end power and creating that twisty hollow leach. The mast sleeve features a white print on black cloth. This print closes the doth fibers, to make the sleeve stronger at the tearing points. It makes the sleeve water repellant and keeps the mast cooler. By not simply using a white sleeve doth, you can just wipe any dirt from the print.
The sail also features a new thermoform foot protector with nylon covering, making it more resistant to the antisip coating of your board.
Our battens are CNC produced and controlled, ensuring the perfect match of their shape with their position in the sail.
We kept the Graphics to a minimum because we bebeve in blending in with the environment and in "less but better". |

| Designed for wave superstar Kauli Seadi, the Boxer delivers a unique combination of radical wave and freestyle performance in a compact package. A favorite of lighter riders, the short boom and mast lengths make a whole new range of radical moves possible, and make the sails extremely 'light in the hands'. |
|
| The requirements for a Power Wave and a Freestyle sail are very similar: great planing potential combined with maximum handling and good controllability. Up to a size of 5.4 m2, DUKE was designed as a powerful Wave sail according to Björn Dunkerbeck's specifications. Since it possesses the greatest trimming versatility of all our Wave sails, it can also be easily controlled by medium-weight sailors. For sizes 5.9 m2 and above, Kai Hopf improved the new DUKE according to the specifications of Freestyle World Champion Jose Gollito Perez and EFPT Champion Andre Paskowski. The tighter leech connects the top of the sail with the lower section, allowing the head to contribute more power in light winds. |
|
| If you are ready for modern freestyle tricks beyond all limits, the XD will take you there. The XD is an uncompromised top of the line competition oriented freestyle sail, built to perform, and to last. The full, powerful draft profile of XD gives you plenty of low end power to get you planing quickly. The high cut foot and relatively short boom of XD make the sail easy to handle in transitions and rotational tricks. Large X-ply body, foot and perimeter paneling make the XD a sail built to last through the heavy demands of modern freestyle maneuvering. |

Back by popular demand!!!! The Dagger is the return of a dedicated longboard sail. With manufacturers reintroducing longboards, Aerotech has the ideal sail to power them. The Dagger features a full and powerful shape teamed up with a firm leech to offer maximum drive in minimum conditions. This sail features lightweight monofilm constructions combined with camber inducers in a moderate width sleeve. This model will remain in our line unchanged
for 2007 and 2008.
Construction:
This sail is built out of monofilm. Other features include; roller bearing camber inducers, a thermo-formed base pad, a new raised stainless steel 6-1 pulley with oversized rollers, and an interactive rigging guide. |
|
Key Facts:
Equal compatibility for standard or RDM masts
70 % x-ply construction
Airfoil leech design for more control
Deep centre of effort and deeper profile for more power in onshore conditions
The Wave MC comes with an extended boom and more profile than the Hammer and is thus the power wave sail of our range.
It combines early planing power, handling and control into a compact unit. The Wave MC is easily handling tricky waves as well as difficult flat water conditions.
The 5 batten concept succeeds with its stable centre of effort and plenty of power to get you safely through even the most critical situations.
This characteristic makes it the ideal sail for riders with a powerful style, who want to keep full control even in the most extreme conditions. The 70% x-ply proportion guarantees durability and longevity. |
|
Key Facts:
100% x-ply construction
Equal compatibility for standard or RDM mast
Balanced power and neutral performance
Maximum of control in every wind range
Radical and fast maneuvers, a neutral feeling and a precise control in every condition are the key points of the new Hammer. It appears a bit more direct and powerful than its forerunner, but always with controlled and balanced early planing power.
You will appreciate this agility especially while planing and between the sets.
If required, the profile is easily flattened, and thus excessive power is released by a harmonic twist and a concave leech, but without appearing nervous.
Construction and equipment have not been allowed any compromise. As a radical wave sail, the Hammer is built out of 100% reinforced x-ply materials with extra reinforcements in all of the stressed zones. |

For 2008 the Charge has been updated with a new panel layout with a new shape and hot new color combinations. This year's version features a bit more shape down low with a fairly flat top allowing for control in conditions that get challenging. This sail remains Aerotech's best choice for side-shore wave sailing. It is designed to get the most out of side-shore conditions, but has enough juice to work in the real world as well. Bold and aggressive, just like the sailor it is meant for.
Construction:
This model features 100% grid construction for the ultimate in durability and UV resistance. Lots of color gives this sail a real "look at me" appeal.

BASH 2008: CHS' prodigal son.
The all-time Challenger sail proves to be a true all-rounder. Wave freestyle, bump and jump or on-shore, its range of use just gets better every time. Thanks to the introduction of the second mini-batten, integrated in the re-enforcements (you can't see it) and to the alternate battens on each side of the sail, you have total control and the balance of pressure is perfectly distributed over the three control points: clew, downhaul and top. The settings give ample range of use, extending grip even in over-power conditions. New luff pocket, new protectors, new anti-abrasion "gel" at sail foot to protect the seam. At CHS...nothing is left to chance! |

KONDA 2008: A Challenger's hard core wave sail !
The hard core CHS sail. With the "wave" fashion back in town and the search for radical conditions ever stronger, Challenger has added new features to make KONDA even easier to handle in the most demanding, big wave conditions. The sail remains slim when surfing but allows sufficient strength and speed when wave riding thanks to the rotating battens that don't touch the luff pocket, making it easier to neutralize or accelerate according to the rider's needs. The battens are positioned alternatively to the left and right side to guarantee max balance.New luff pocket, new protectors, new anti-abrasion foot "gel" to protect the seam. At CHS...nothing is left to chance. |

The critical design feature is that the draft does not extend back.
The endobatten allows us to really wind up the batten tension and still keep the sail symmetrical and easy to flip. A traditional batten pocket would not work with my new profile.
The draft in the middle battens is very rigid, almost like having a cam, but the sail still has a soft feeling and flips easily. The fact that the batten is so locked makes the sails very stable. |

When we started designing the 2006 Goya Wave3D sail our main focus was improving the strength and reducing the weight We created a very maneuverabte sail with more low end power and high end control. What seemed a contradiction in the past has become realty with this year's model.
In all our sails we are using ful panel XPty. This Is for two reasons. The first one being that by allowing the full panel to flex we add more dynamics to the sail. Hence our sails are more powerful and forgiving. The second one being that we avoid having stitching through the sail's main surfaces and thus are not adding more tiny notes Into the sail than necessary. Hence our sails last a lot longer. The math Is easy, if you only use a third of the parts to make a sail, only a third can break. We are amazed at the feedback we get from customers, shops and schools around the world about just how little they spend on sail repair, once they switched to Goya Sails.
The 2008 W5 D features a hoi low leach, which means that we were able to reduce the areas that have the most effect on the feeing and handing of the sail. We distributed more of the surface around the foot batten and at the top, resulting in more low end power and creating that twisty hollow leach. Consequently this sail feels even lighter than its predecessors.
The mast sleeve features a white print on black cloth. This print doses the doth fibers, to make the sleeve stronger at the tearing points. It makes the sleeve water repellant and keeps the mast cooler. By not simply using a white sleeve doth, you can just wipe any dirt from this print |

The Kaos is a world class wave sail built to perform in the toughest conditions.
The 2008 design layout provides a soft feel that excels for fast wave riding and neutral manoeuvres.
Giving plenty of pull to get going fast in side on conditions, the Kaos tunes over a massive range.
Built to survive yet super light and responsive in the hands for easy transitions and controlled airtime.
Wherever you chose to go big, take it on with the Kaos. |

The Kult is an incredibly versatile sail suited to freeride and wave in a wide range of conditions.
For wave sailing it is perfectly suited to onshore, sideshore and lighter conditions. But most use the Kult as a bay and ocean sail for its low end power, wind range, stability, and excellent speed.
Its design allows it to work well on almost any mast and is very easy to tune.
It has a springy feel, with dynamic twist allowing to respond well to gusty wind and also accelerates nicely when pumped. |
|
The Lip Wave is The Loft's hard-core wave design that excels in both onshore and sideshore conditions. The Lip Wave is trim reactive to an extreme... this allows your rig to adapt to your windsurfing conditions; onshore and sideshore optimisation.
The Lip Wave is built to last. Our unique integrated panel concept creates a sail body that resists like no other... the Lip Wave is hard core to the bone. |
|
| The test-winning Session is Naish's didicated down-the-line wave sail, offering incredible balance and easy handling in the most radical maneuvers. The low center of effort and wide range make it ideal for both wave purists and lighter riders. |
|
| The test-winning Force is Robby's personal wave sail, designed to deliver maximum power in a package optimized for a wide range of wave conditions. Ideal for larger/ stronger riders, the early planing characteristics are also a big advantage to ALL riders when the going gets marginal. |
|
INSTANT HANDLING, INSTANT RESPONSE.
Designed to excel in classic "down the line" conditions, the ZONE is the most neutral feeling sail in the NeilPryde wave collection. Precision handling, smooth power release and a soft feel combine to allow the rider to draw a tight bottom turn and solid cutback off the lip. In these conditions visibility and wave awareness is key - so the ZONE has a large window allowing the rider to observe the critical section of the wave. This combination of features makes the ZONE the weapon of choice for NeilPrydes' 3Z's - Jason Polakow, Levi Siver and Alex Mussolini.
|
|
CONSISTENT POWER, CONSISTENT CONTROL.
With a design emphasis on manageable power and upwind ability, the ALPHA is the sail in the NeilPryde wave collection that is best suited to onshore, or sometimes less than ideal, wave sailing conditions. Regardless of your size, ALPHA is the sail that delivers the power you need to get out of the disturbed air in the impact zone and into a good position "out the back" - and take best advantage of the conditions.
|
|
ALL ROUND PERFORMANCE AND DURABILITY.
As NeilPryde's all-round wave sail, the COMBAT is equally at home in all types of wave sailing conditions, from huge onshore white water to perfect side-offshore winds and peeling waves. This, in combination with the COMBAT's "bomb proof" reinforced X-ply construction results in a sail that, no matter how much trouble you get yourself into, will see you on the other side.

| The new VOODOO makes the most impressive use of the NORTH SAILS iMODULAR.DESIGN. Kai Hopf used it to strengthen the "sail frame" and employ an even more stable X.PLY 112 in the upper centre panel, without increasing the weight. This intelligent use of material in combination of double zig-zag seams makes the new VOODOO more durable than ever, letting you charge hard even on the biggest days. By the way, thanks to its slightly elastic vinyl window, the VOODOO is also the ideal sail for gusty, extremely windy days. The entire sail range fits on a single mast length - "One mast fits all" (400-19)! |
|
| "Extremely aggressive, direct, and - thanks to the new foot profile - neutral in your hands especially when descending a wave". This is how our team describes this radical 5-batten machine. Since the Ice was designed for riders of all weights, virtually everybody is impressed by the performance and lightning-fast reaction of this sail. This is made possible by the modified HYPER .LECH and the slightly more rigid top that makes the ICE even easier to control. It has a softer feel, and is easier to pump, as the whole sail is well connected, from head to foot. |
|
| Muscle-car windsurfing is back with a high-octane design that is optimized for speed blasting and floaty hang time. The Hucker is a power rider's dream - firm leech tensionl with lots of pitchy leverage that is purpose-built for just goin' fast and jumpin' high. |
|
| The all X-ply body paneling plus "ever-clear" PVC window of the XFLEX creates a side to side-off shore surf sail with a combination of smooth feel and the best durability of any sail in our collection. Smooth feel, Pumpability, Focused Power Point and a "quickly neutral" handling characteristic make the XFLEX the sail of choice for riders looking for top performance and a the higest level of durability in gnarly surf conditions. XFLEX is also an excellent choice for lighter/smaller sailors in any conditions due to its short boom length and soft, forgiving handling characteristic. |
