Handmade Sails uit Italië
Lot of Job since the end of 2008
Till 2012 with the great Anders Bringdal then I have to press all I learned in the last years to try to support the Big Bad in this interesting adventure !
In 2015/2016 we did a little revolution with a new outline and the foil a bit more on the back
Light feeling and good speed (just for the 5.4 we did 18 proto… what a effort for Challenger Sails! )
Then the Chief, Mr. Bad, propose me to do a Signature series… Great!
So from 2017 we developed the Principe Speed Line
During the 2019 I found out that a leech less negative can deliver more speed and still keep the control … We took a while for testing … now we are going to set up all the sizes… with the proper mast!!
Soon it will be ready all the line 2022!!
Stay Tuned, Forever Speed!
Light and stable in your hands for are smooth and controlled ride on any foil board. Based on the concepts of our race winning slalom foil sails we've managed to transfer the locked, low-backhand-pressure design onto the Ride Foil. The high aspect profile gives you improved aerodynamics for early takeoff and good top speed. The short boom and carefully designed twist characterics make your flight controlled, easy and stable without sudden load changes. This might well be the most user-friendly and powerful freeride foil sail out there. We're absolutely stoked about the outcome of this sail!
Most brands simply re-use old slalom models and reduce the size of the cutouts and set the straps more inboard and introduce this as the latest freerace design. Our development was done together with purely dedicated free-racers and some pro-riders who were amazed by the performance in powered conditions against pure competition slalom boards. The slightly longer flat under the straps is the key feature for this shape and makes the board plane earlier and ride more stable and safer in rough conditions. With the smaller cutouts it's less loose and easier to control. Wanna go super fast without killing yourself on a competition slalom board? - The PATRIK F-Race is the perfect board for you!
The GT3-FRC is the little sister of our competition slalom sail RaceSF. Based on the concept and panels of this contest winning fin and foil hybrid race sail the GT3-FRC performs equally well on fin AND foil. Many updates and modifications make this sail light and easy in your hands. At the same the GT3 doesn't lose its racing DNA. Fabio Canella and Patrik Diethelm gave it a more narrow mastsleeve while mainly keeping the original panels of the RaceSF. The softer mastsleeve material makes the sail more alive and a little more forgiving. Clearly designed to work absolutely best on RDM masts there will be a SDM camber set available for purchase to modify the GT3 to SDM use. With the RDM standard configuration the sail feels lighter, faster and has a much better handling in the jibes.
Directly based on our competition foil sails the GT3-Foil combines the lightness and smooth handling of a RDM sail with the locked feeling and speed of our pure racing sails. You will be amazed how light this 3-cam sail feels during the jibes or while starting. Its true racing DNA allows for a controlled and stable flight on the foil and the perfect aerodynamics of this high aspect design help to get planing and flying early. The softer and smaller mast sleeves makes the sail more forgiving and easier to waterstart as the sleeve takes less water when the sail gets dropped into the water. Camber rotation is soft and direct.
The PATRIK Slalom gives you the raw accelleration, the control in the chop and in the jibes plus the massive top speed you need to win on the race course or just spritz all your friends at your local spot. If you need ultimate performance - this board is for you.
WHAT'S NEW TO THE PREVIOUS MODEL:
- Modified computer-optimised cutout contours for reduced drag, better waterflow, more accelleration and more topspeed.
- New lowered masttrack: A lowered sail position results in a lowered general center of gravity which significantly improves highend control.
- Optimised strength-to-weight ratio and new graphics by Fabio Canella
SHAPE AND FEEL
The FoilRide is the easiest to ride out of our five (!) pure foil boards, the FoilCompV2, the FoilRace, the FoilRide, the FoilMove and the FoilStyle.
It's a little narrower in the tail than the FoilRace and the FoilComp. The FoilRide doesn't have cutouts which makes the accelleration more even, easier to control and more stable. Usually freeriders don't use a lot of rake on the foil mast so the additional sinking of the tail as a scondary result of the cutouts is not needed to give the foil a positive angle of attack. It's way more important to give the rider the confidence and safety to gain trust in foiling quickly and improve from session to session.
With the WE FREE RACE all sporty ambitious racers have the greatest joy! Fast gliding, gliding through wind holes, high top speed, excellent jibing characteristics, easy and stable handling with a sporty feel at the same time, are just a few features that distinguish the board.
In short, the WE FREE RACE gives you the feeling of a true race board, but with easy controllability.
A high-performance sandwich construction with the highest quality PVC sandwich in deck and bottom intelligent use of S-Glass and extensive use of BIAX Nanocarbon, as well as additional carbon reinforcements in nose, deck and bottom provide the board despite low weight a long durability.
130 L Demo Board aanwezig!
The WE RIDE appears due to its compact outline at first glance like a STUBBY concept. The WE RIDE was designed as a true FREERIDE board which forms an orchestra of gliding strength, smoothness, best jibe characteristics, sporty free riding feel and easy handling.
