IN A NUTSHELL...
Freeride. The Ryde has been designed for classic flat-water freeriding. It offers great low-end power and stability for early planing and controlled maneuvers. The Ryde is an ideal choice for new generation wide and thin Freemove boards as well as more conventional Freeride boards. Planing and gybing made easy—windsurfing pure and smooth.

Designer's Comment
With a shorter boom and higher cut foot than the Hellcat, the Ryde perfectly combines Freemove and Freeride characteristics. Six battens and the Dynamic Compact Clew make it fast and controllable in straight lines with a wide windrange that provides a truly fun freeriding experience.
Pro tips
Sebastian Kornum: The Ryde is a sail that brings a big smile on my face each time I use it. I enjoy that everything becomes easy whether it’s early planing, laydown jibes or just blasting around effortlessly. And for me, it doesn’t get boring, as there is plenty of acceleration and stability in the sail to push for higher speed as the wind increases.
Leon Jamaer: Once you get the Ryde going, you will not stop planing. It is unstoppable and so light in the hands that windsurfing has never been so easy.
