- The signing to NeilPryde of double world wavesailing champion, Kauli Seadi, brought to the team a new school of wavesailing. Aggressive; gymnastic and with a focus on agility and aerial manoeuvring, the NeilPryde Design Centre was tasked with creating a practical and functional wavesail that could facilitate Kauli's flamboyant combination of wavesailing and freestyle.
The result is THE FLY. It's compact, lightweight, highly manoeuvrable and as comfortable in the air as it is on the water. Catch one if you can!
- Now in its 11th season as part of the NeilPryde wave collection, the features that characterise the ZONE have firmly established it not only as a corner stone of the NeilPryde wave range, but as an icon of the wavesailing world.
A combination of precise handling, superb visibility & smooth power release - not to mention excellent visibility - ensure that the ZONE allows the rider to draw tight bottom turns & execute "snappy" cutbacks off the lip.
In conjunction with a soft, "neutral" feel, the ZONE is perfectly suited to classic "down the line" wave conditions, hence making it the sail of choice for NeilPrydes' 3Z's - Jason Polakow, Levi Siver and Alex Mussolini.
- Since its reintroduction to the range in 2004, the COMBAT has re-established itself as NeilPryde's all-round, highly durable wave sail.
Equally at home in all types of wave sailing conditions, from huge onshore white water to perfect cross offshore winds and peeling waves, the COMBAT combines versatility with performance and, as a result of its "bomb proof" reinforced X-ply construction, extreme durability. So you can have confidence that, no matter how much trouble you get yourself into, the COMBAT will see you on the other side.
- Irrespective of your size, ALPHA is the NeilPryde wave sail that, because of its design focus on developing controllable power and good upwind ability, is best suited to demanding onshore, or “less than ideal” wave sailing environments.
So whether you are a light or heavy-weight rider, ALPHA is the sail that delivers all the power you need to get out of the disturbed air in the impact zone and into a good position “out the back” and take best advantage of virtually any conditions.
- As the distinction between wave and freestyle sailing becomes blurred, and we see an increasing number of freestyle tricks being performed in wave conditions, it has became clear that there is a need for a dedicated "Wave- Freestyle" sail that would perform at 100% in the waves - while retaining the Expression's excellent flat-water freestyle performance.
FIREFLY is an all new sail designed to reflect this need, and not only enable three times freestyle world champion, Ricardo Campello, to 'bring modern freestyle manoeuvres into the wave arena, but continue to deliver the same level of 'pure' freestyle performance expected from the Expression.
- It's unusual for windsurfing locations to deliver the same, consistent conditions every time - your local sailing spot is as likely to be different from one day to the next, as is the riders' desire to attempt different windsurfing disciplines each time they go sailing.
So, whether it's flatwater blasting, jumps, basic freestyle or even riding small surf, the EXCESS - being the most versatile crossover sail in the collection - is perfectly suited to meet your needs, and match the conditions.
