Windsurf Buying Guide - Sails
Windsurf Sails... Price points... Number of battens... A good free ride sail with plenty of wind range like the Duotone E- PACE windsurfing sail gets the majority of customers out of trouble. Brands have reduced the range of sails down as the sail design improves and covers a wider variety of use! Cam's are a thing of the past and nearly all freeride to wave sails demand a RDM mast these days. Narrow luff tubes mean more efficient sails and great performance and wind range. Taking a leading sail brand like North Windsurfing sails and breaking down for an example would flow like this! If your sailing in waves 50% or more then the North Super Hero top to bottom is the go to choice... HD in the smaller sizes for a bomb proof design... Sailing in waves 25% of the time then a couple of North Super Hero's in the small sizes (Maybe) or head to the North Super Session for a great free ride, blasting, bump and jump sails that's more than capable in small to medium waves... Sticking to the flatter water then it's the E-Type for flat water performance, fun blasting... S-Type Sl and the warp are our racing sails that delivery top end race winning performance... But at a cost... More hassle to rig, deep luff tubes for water starting and require SDM mast's for the cam's to get the best performance...
