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".
