NeilPryde The Fly Windsurf Sail 2015
IN A NUTSHELL...
Down-The-Line Wave. The most neutral and ‘on-off’ wave sail, the Fly excels in pure, clean waves where the light, soft handling allows for an experience as close to surfing as possible. The 2015 Fly has evolved into a three-batten concept. It feels extremely light in the hands and is incredibly maneuverable, retaining a handling pedigree and control levels that keep you where the action is—in the critical wave sections you’ve been hunting down.
Design details
Key Features
Cross batten construction allows all three battens to provide the critical leech support while the bottom batten shaping is kept low and forward below the boom area.
Forceline panel incorporates both clew and tack radial construction into one laminated panel.
The proximity of the clew to the cross battens distributes the load very evenly and prevents the draft to move back as well as keeping the sail stable.
Designer's Comment
The new three-batten Fly features a cross batten construction that allows us to design a super light sail while keeping an extremely stable sail profile by pushing the draft low and forward.
Pro tips
Jason Polakow: The 2015 Fly has taken a huge leap forward in design adopting a three-batten construction that still feels totally stable in over-powered conditions. The lightweight feel and insane twist in the head allows you to do the most vertical turns on the wave and it honestly just feels like you have nothing in your hands. It’s the best sail I have ever used, hands down.
Antoine ‘Titoun’ Martin: Initially I was unsure about the 3-batten construction, but as soon as I tried the new Fly I realised it is extremely stable while being super light in the hands. I now use this sail for all conditions from side-onshore to side-offshore and its stability gives me confidence to push my moves to the next level.
