Crossover Sails - Excess

<<<  back

FAST. MANOEUVRABLE. DURABLE

There is no doubt that most windsurfing locations do not deliver the same, consistent conditions every time. Instead, 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. So, whether it's flatwater blasting, jumps, basic freestyle or even riding small surf, the EXCESS - being the most versatile crossover sail in the range - is perfectly suited to this sort of variety.

DESIGN OBJECTIVE

• Develop a powerful, fast, easy handling and manoeuvrable free-ride sail.
• The sail must be suitable for flatwater blasting, jumping and basic freestyle moves.
• It must have a wide wind range with good low-end characteristics, speed and acceleration.
• Given the need to be versatile, the sail must also be suitable for use in small surf, and be built strong enough to handle regular jumping – and crashes.
• The EXCESS needs to have a less direct feeling – particularly when sailing into gusts - and be more comfortable to sail with.
• The sail needs to be easier to rig – particularly when inserting the mast into the sleeve.

• The outline and shaping reflect the design objective for versatility: a stable, forward oriented shaping profile provides power, while a relatively open, twisted head allows for wind range and stability.
• A slight increase in the foot area (relative to wave and pure freestyle sails) enhances low-end power and helps stability. This makes the EXCESS the fastest of the 5 battened crossover sails – but doesn't compromise the sails manoeuvrability.
• A full X-ply body gives the EXCESS superb durability in addition to a soft, forgiving on the water sailing ‘feel' that is unique to 100% X-ply sails.
• A subtle reduction and redistribution of luff curve will make the sail easier to rig while also allowing the mid-leech to be more open. This creates a more comfortable, less direct feeling to the sail.
• To enhance durability, the structural seam located in the foot area has been removed.

RIDER QUOTE

"The EXCESS covers an incredible range of conditions. If you go for freestyle, jumping, riding some waves or if you just want to cruise around – the EXCESS fits in pretty much everywhere. The control is unreal, it's fast & super manoeuverable at the same time – you just hang in the lines and go... plus it's very strong, so even when I get washed, the EXCESS takes it easy."
