Windsurf sail : freeride Tushingham
STORM
Tushingham was the first sailmaker to realise that not all highwind sailors are wave sailors and that they were not being best served by the wave sail offerings of the time. Of course, when it's windy the water will never be flat but the requirements for allround performance in high winds and chop, are not the same, as those demanded by radical wave riders. The Storm delivers a blend of balance and power, that combines comfort and control with blistering performance through the full spectrum of high wind conditions. Of course, it's easy to say things like that but achieving it across the Storm's extensive size range is another matter. The design parameters have to change with the sizes. The larger sizes 5.5m - 6.5m focus on early planing. The middle sizes 4.75m - 5.25m major on manoeuvrability, whereas control becomes the dominant factor in the smaller sizes. Every size is optimised for the conditions in which it will be used and on top of this, we build in a significant range of adjustment, by way of the downhaul and outhaul controls to guarantee that you will find the setting that best suits you and the conditions. The end result is a sail that you can simply forget about, in the best possible way, freeing up your attention for best performance and control in difficult conditions. Two new sizes have been added for 2005, the 4.25m2 and 4.75m2.
