Day 3 – Action Highlights… PWA Pozo 2018...

More: https://jp-australia.com/2019/sup/products/hard-boards/2019-foil/ For 2019 Werner has developed the dedicated Foil shapes with great input from Keahi. The boards are short for reduced swing weight during pumping and maneuvers. The extremely beveled rails help reduce the wetted surface at take-off and prevent the board from catching the water in the turns. The cut-out tail section on the bottom surface has the same purpose. The flat deck ensures stability. The pad features an increased arch line along the center so that you can feel the center of the board without even looking down. The pad tail kick is positioned perfectly for optimized foiling stance. The boards come with 2 foot-straps and foot-strap plugs. The 2 track boxes for the plate mounted foils have a generous length of 33cm so you can also use the board for light wind windsurf foiling at the back position.

“THE MAIN DIFFERENCE THE S_TYPE SL HAS WHEN COMPARED TO THE WARP 20.19 IS THAT IT LOSES SPEED AS SOON AS YOU SHEET OUT. THIS MAKES GYBING CONSIDERABLY EASIER, ESPECIALLY FOR NONPROFESSIONALS.” MARCO LANG International press outlets have repeatedly rated the S_TYPE as the best of its class. As a highly competitive slalom sail designed for everyday sailors, it has an unquenchable thirst for speed, but is nonetheless easy to handle. One of the reasons for this is that the S_TYPE SL has inherited the racing DNA of the WARP to guarantee maximum performance potential. At the same time, the S_TYPE SL’s handling is extraordinarily simple for its class. This is made possible by the revolutionary NO COMPROMISE DESIGN, which was adapted from the WARP 20.19. A reduced profile, loose leech and luff curve all improve performance in the lower end of the wind range and thus boost acceleration. The S_TYPE SL in the NO COMPROMISE DESIGN is the perfect synthesis from the most successful race slalom sails in our company’s history. Whether you’re racing along at maximum speed or casually cruising and gybing, the S_TYPE SL boasts extreme versatility. Kai Hopf combines the balanced handling and comfort of the S_TYPE SL with the top-end performance of a WARP. The result is an outstanding level of power on all courses and superior control to boot. Particularly noticeable is the highly tapered luff sleeve in the AERO SLEEVE DESIGN 2.0. Its width in the aerodynamically important boom area enables the optimal transition from the “thick” mast leading edge to the “thin” sail body. However, at the top of the sail the luff sleeve has remained relatively narrow to enable fast onwater starts. This is supported by the LUFF LIFT DESIGN of the WARP 20.19, which provides additional lift. The S_TYPE SL is incredibly useful as a high-performance sail for various board types because it can be sailed with either two or three cambers (removable foot camber). Simply genius! All S_TYPE SL sizes perform reliably well with just one mast length.

Day 2 - Action Highlights... PWA Pozo 2018!

“THE F_TYPE SAIL MAKES IT SO MUCH EASIER TO LEARN TO FOIL SURF. I ONLY WISH I HAD HAD SOMETHING LIKE THIS MYSELF BACK IN THE DAY. ON TOP IT'S THE IDEAL COMPANION FOR SUP-FOILING, THE LATEST TREND ON MAUI WHEN WE JUST TRY TO GET ONTO THE FOIL AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE WITH THE SUP.” S K Y S O L B A C H. The latest trend is in foil surfing, which opens up a whole range of possibilities. Never before has it been possible to set into motion or ride the waves this quickly with so little wind. To get you started as quickly and as easily as possible, and to make sure the fun never ends while on the water, DUOTONE has introduced the new F_TYPE – the ideal sail for silently hovering over the water. Foil surfing is absolutely amazing because you feel almost weightless and literally floating above everything – and all this at winds at which you would never previously have even thought about surfing. To enjoy foil surfing the easy and smart way, DUOTONE has developed a highly specialised sail in the form of the four-batten F_TYPE. Its features are designed exactly for this new activity and will be a boon helpful both for intermediate riders and for relaxed wave riders. This includes the lower profile with reduced loose leech, since very small sail sizes are used based on the wind strengths. Thanks to its high elasticity, the Dacron luff ensures easier pumping and an altogether more gentle feel. Because the rig is held more upright when foil surfing, the foot has significantly more reach in order to ensure closing the gap even in this position. Low wind pressure necessitates the use of two SOFT.CAMS, which can effortlessly reverse when shifting despite weak rotational forces. And it you want it to be even easier, you can even remove both cambers and use the F_TYPE as the ultimate no-cam foil sail.

“THE WARP 20.19 SLALOM SAIL IS QUICKER TO SET UP, SAVES MORE ENERGY AND IS YET MORE COMPETITIVE THAN ANY OTHER THAT I’VE EVER SAILED BEFORE!” P I E R R E M O R T E F O N The WARP 9.0LW won six of the seven eliminations in the 2015 racing season, making it the most successful slalom sail in PWA history. It was our first racing sail with a completely new, revolutionary profile concept called the NO COMPROMISE DESIGN. With extreme propulsion, boundless speed and a design intended for victory with no compromises, this is quite simply the ultimate World Cup racing sail. Thanks to the NO COMPROMISE DESIGN, the WARP 20.19 also possesses greater planing power and acceleration after start and gybe compared to other sails, without requiring more strength on the part of the rider. This gives riders greater strength reserves over the entire racecourse and allows them to concentrate on manoeuvring and tactics. Combined with the unrivalled effortless camber rotation, this makes the WARP 20.19 the first choice for more than just World Cup riders. More than three years of development went into the profile and design concept of the WARP 20.19, whose panel-based layout takes into account the wide range of factors influencing the rig. And the result is outstanding – with the NO COMPROMISE DESIGN, all WARP sails generate enormous propulsion and more acceleration at the start and after a gybe. The key characteristic is that this propulsion does not kick in abruptly and thus does not require lots of effort to absorb. Instead, the forward pull is much more controlled and effortless than other power slalom sails. This relieves strain on the rider, giving them strength reserves for the rest of the course, and allowing them to concentrate fully on the racing action. And with the correct luff and outhaul tension, the WARP performs across the entire wind range with the same trim. PREVIOUS DOWNSIDES Maximum propulsion and top acceleration after gybing has had considerable downsides in the past: ++ a. Extreme effort When “only” the foot profile is increased lower without adapting the loose leech and luff curve. Lots of luff curvature, reduced top profile and enormous loose leech require lots of strength because the propulsion starts all at once after a brief delay. ++ b. Reduced stability, lower wind range When the profile is more full and the luff curve is reduced. The lower curve releases tension from the luff, which has a negative impact on stability and range of use. ADVANTAGES BY NO COMPROMISE DESIGN ++ Step 1: More profile in the entire sail, which provides a power boost when accelerating. ++ Step 2: Reduction of the luff curve, thus reducing the sail tension and loose leech. This provides constant, powerful propulsion and more gentle, progressive handling forces. ++ Step 3: In order to maintain stability and wind range, the double-foil luff sleeve for the first time consists entirely of low-stretch XPLY PLUS and a non-stretch Kevlar strip on the leading edge. This prevents excessive bending towards the trailing edge while maintaining the same side flex. As a result, the wide range of use is maintained along with perfect sail stability. The draft position towards the front with reduced loose leech transfers power to the lower end of the wind range and gives a boost to heavier riders. IMPORTANT World Cup-level success, 100% performance and the nonstretch design require a perfect set-up and experienced trimming. All WARP sails generate maximum propulsion only with PLATINUM masts and millimetre-precision trimming. As a result, the use of a POWER.XT is absolutely essential.

“The new Windsurfer LT planes out much faster & easier than the old stock windsurfer. With the lighter design & increased volume, this is a very user-friendly board for the masses. With this type of board, this could be the key that is needed to give windsurfing its much-deserved comeback in light wind conditions!” Matt Schweitzer – the living legend who´s father invented Windsurfing. Matt won his first World Championship Windsurfing title at the young age of 16 and is considered being one of the most historical and influential windsurfers all time.

DEAR WINDSURFER “The Original windsurfer class was where it all started back in 1967. There is an unparalleled amount of global engagement and connection with this class, created by Diane and Hoyle Schweitzer with a board concept developed by Jim Drake. Bruce Wylie, who entered the Windsurfing event in Santa Barbara while I sailed in the Olympics on the more “sophisticated “ Winglider, has redesigned the Windsurfer and it’s now a wonderful allround board suited also for heavier people. The board is stable, glides particularly nice in light winds and shoots into planing mode with ease. With its daggerboard it goes upwind really well. Tilt it a bit backwards and it can be handled in high-wind upwind. It freestyles with excellence and rail-rides are hereby back in trend. I really enjoy sailing this board and see it as a way to get clubs around the world introducing a board which works for entry level sailing, with the plastic daggerboard, and club racing with the composite daggerboard. Back in the days, the main campaign for the windsurfer was “DO IT STANDING UP” and this board even is good at stand up paddling.” Svein Rasmussen, Starboard’s chief innovator

Day 1 - Highlights... PWA Pozo 2018!!!

UNI.XT – the most technically advanced and yet the most lightweight standard aluminium extension we have ever built. Now also built using AERO carbon technology to create the most lightweight extension in the world. When it comes to standard extensions, everyone has probably experienced some nasty surprises at some point. They rarely fit with the rope alignment on the sail, most of them need high downhaul forces, and often the mechanism for adjusting the height is extremely fiddly. Before designing the UNI.XT we analysed all of these issues in detail and came up with workable solutions. The strong and super-solid UNI.XT extension may look like numerous other standard extensions at first glance, yet it is replete with innovations which make it a far superior product. More info: https://www.duotonesports.com/windsurfing/hardware/xts-bases/unixt/

An inspiring (r)evolution – the POWER.XT 2.0 can do much more and do it better than the previous model. And as POWER.XT 2.0 AERO RDM 34 it is also the most lightweight ratchet extension of all time! Beyond the basic idea, the POWER.XT 2.0 has almost nothing in common with the previous model any more. From the extremely solid ratchet mechanism plus lever to the simplified release mechanism, the high-strength Lyros® Dyneema rope harness downhaul lines and the option to retrofit the damper function – everything has been radically upgraded. For many years, the POWER.XT has been the benchmark when it comes to extensions with trimming tools. Those who use it will never want to do without it again. Thanks to the integrated lever, it overcomes even the highest downhaul forces, enabling perfect re-trimming or fine-tuning even when on the water. Even children could handle the extreme luff tension of modern slalom sails, each profile can be adjusted to millimetre precision in a matter of seconds. The 15 cm long lever and the ratio of 1:60 enable trimming without any noticeable effort. More info: https://www.duotonesports.com/windsurfing/hardware/xts-bases/powerxt-20/
