01 PRODUCT IDOL COMPETITION FREESTYLE <> WAVE
01 PRODUCT IDOL COMPETITION FREESTYLE <> WAVE Jose Gollito Estredo Signature Model Take the legendary HERO and adjust it to the needs of PWA Freestyle record Champ Gollito Estredo: here comes the brand-new IDOL. Same as with the HERO the secret of this batten design is the BALANCED.LUFF.LENGTH. Compared to the HERO the more forward oriented draft generates more lift for jumps out of the leeward position (e.g. Culo, Kono) and makes the sail feels even lighter. Key Features: à NEW: PURE.PATCH.TECHNOLOGY: one layer of PURE material replacing traditional multi-layer patches at the clew, tack and batten pocket ends reduces the patch-weight by 0%. à Weight optimized construction à BALANCED.LUFF.LENGTH as short as possible for most radical throw-ability and as long as necessary for maximum wind range. à STRAIGHT.FOOT.DESIGN to help initiating jumps out of the leeward position à irocket, NorthSails lightest batten tensioner of all time à Exclusively designed for RDM masts
02 PRODUCT ID ULTRALIGHT FREESTYLE <> WAVE
02 PRODUCT ID ULTRALIGHT FREESTYLE <> WAVE Our super lightweight Freestyle Wave sailing range, employing the futuristic high tech laminate "ODL" from yacht sails instead of traditional XPly. This material is 0% lighter than conventional sail cloth and pushes the weight to incredibly low values. To clarify: The weight of the ID ultralight corresponds to a 1. square meters smaller VOLT (e.g. sqm compares to 3. sqm)! Compared to VOLT the ID feels a bit softer and adapts to any rotation almost automatically. Two important points: - All ID ultralight are deigned for RDM masts, yet fully compatible with our SDM masts. - Even if other brands do not speak about it, we tell the truth: maximum light-weight can only be achieved through the reduction of material thickness. Since the film thickness of the laminate ODL yacht is reduced to the absolute minimum, the UV stability is limited. Therefore, this sail is excluded from the usual NorthSails -year warranty! Key Features: à NEW: PURE.PATCH.TECHNOLOGY: one layer of PURE material replacing traditional muli-layer patches at the clew, tack and batten pocket ends reduces the patch-weight by 0% à Ultra-light for maximum handling thanks to the trend setting high tech yachting laminate "ODL à irocket, NorthSails lightest batten tensioner of all time à 2 MASTS FIT ALL: with only 2 masts you cover all sizes à Ideal on RDM masts - still fully compatible on our SDM masts
03 PRODUCT VOLT WAVE <> FREESTYLE
03 PRODUCT VOLT WAVE <> FREESTYLE The Kings are dead long live the king! Best of both worlds: The brand-new VOLT is based on the legendary ICE in smaller sizes and the DUKE in the bigger sizes making it the ultimate all in one Wave <> Freestyle sail line! No other sail adapts to all conditions and surprises with its versatility. To achieve this versatility designer Kai Hopf has involved the whole team to guarantee that the VOLT works for any rider and condition. Designed to work best on single-fin boards. Numerous changes are hidden in detail. E.g. the shorter luff has a very positive effect. Everything feels more compact and at the same time more neutral and makes the VOLT easier than ever to handle. The handling has improved significantly, without loosing any planing power of its predecessors thanks to a modified luff curve and optimized profile distribution. In addition, key success factors were obtained of the ICE and DUKE. E.g. the unique foot geometry, which will lower the center of gravity making the sail so neutral on the wave or during difficult freestyle tricks. All VOLT sizes were designed for RDM masts, but are still compatible with our SDM masts. That s why the new VOLT feels softer and can be easily controlled and pumped onto the plane. These abilities are also supported by the modified luff curve and the optimized leech tension. VOLT HD Ultimate durability in the most brutal conditions: The VOLT is also available in monofilm-free, hardcore X.PLY version! Key Features: à NEW: PURE.PATCH.TECHNOLOGY: one layer of PURE material replacing traditional multi-layer patches at the clew, tack and batten pocket ends reduces the patch-weight by 0% à ibumper, the most advanced and effective moulded mast protector à Designed to work best on RDM masts but still fully compatible with our SDM masts à 2 MASTS FIT ALL: with only 2 masts you cover all sizes
0 PRODUCT HERO BATTEN WAVE
0 PRODUCT HERO BATTEN WAVE Almost everything is different: The HERO is the impressive production of an ultra modern batten wave sail, which is repleted with the finest components and technical know-how. Regardless of under- or properly powered up, too much pressure or too little, this sail always generates power without becoming unstable. Despite a further draft back position it doesn t become back handy, even when overpowered. This let s you imagine, how much the wind range has improved compared to previous batten sails! The low weight makes for an incredible handling. While rigging you can already imagine how light and soft the sail feels. The rotation is smooth as silk, even with minimal outhaul tension. You can safely choose a sail size smaller than with many other wave sails. This applies to almost any rider, regardless of weight. IMPORTANT: the HERO is exclusively designed for RDM masts due to its narrow sleeve and elastic characteristics. The smaller mast diameter perfectly matches this softer feeling sail and shorter luff. Key Features: à NEW: PURE.PATCH.TECHNOLOGY: one layer of PURE material replacing traditional multi-layer patches at the clew, tack and batten pocket ends reduces the patch-weight by 0% à ibumper, the most modern and most effective protector of a piece mast à BALANCED.LUFF.LENGTH as short as possible for most radical throw-ability and as long as necessary for maximum wind range. à Exclusively designed for RDM masts
