DESIGNER’S COMMENT
The new Fuse Pocket construction introduced this season in the wave and freestyle program, allows us to reduce the seam shaping and retain the power-depower properties of the sail which feels even lighter in the hands with extra softness. The outline with short boom makes it easier to duck the sail and offers fast rotation for powermoves.
In parallel, the new Powerfuse allows us to reduce the weight while increasing the strength in critical sections.
TECHNOLOGY
POWERFUSE
Powerfuse is a whole new way to reinforce and lighten the sail body by using an innovative material fusion method. Doing away with unnecessary patch reinforcements, seams and stitches, we created fully integrated, laminated panels of variable thickness that support localised loads and strengthen the sail where it needs it most.
MODERATE COMPACT CLEW
Moderate Compact Clew for a compact outline with rider focused surface area and improved sail twist.
FUSE POCKETS
Overlapping body panels create a sleeve for battens, eliminating the need for traditional, separate batten pockets. This saves on unnecessary weight, simplifies construction and creates a fully symmetrical batten cavity, eliminating the tendency of traditional batten pockets to load differently from one tack to another.
ARMOR ULTRA
High-strength rip-stop grid made of high-tenacity ULTRA yarns at +/-40 degrees. This yarn has a similar breaking strength to KevlarTM, but much better UV resistance. Available on The Fly / Combat / Wizard.
TWIN SEAMS
Double stitching is used on all critical seams on all sails allowing them to endure prolonged exposure to high loads and impacts.
