MODEL: 2009 Wave Panther

DESCRIPTION: All round wave from freestyle, bump and jump to hardcore.

The 2009 Wave Panther takes over from the long running and successful Wave SE as our premier wave sail. Compared to the SE, the Panther has a shorter boom and is lighter weight. On the water, the Wave Panther has a smooth and direct power delivery, combined with very easy handling. The Panther's design advantage allows operation in a wider wind range, so you can sail longer without the need to re-rig. The leech area of the Panther utilizes our new, low stretch Technora-fiber sailcloth, which delivers superior performance with less weight. The Panther's mid and luff sections are made of our Spectra X film, for strength and great visibility throughout the body of the sail. We use higher density Spectra X film in the foot area to resist harness hook tears and nose-of-the-board punctures.

Other key features include:

• A removable downhaul pulley
• Weft reinforced sleeve cloth
• Flip-up adjustable mast pad
• RBS battens and a vinyl window that won’t scratch

Plus, we rig every Wave Panther before it is shipped so that you are ready to go with the correct batten tension and adjustable head setting.

MODEL: 2009 Freeride

DESCRIPTION: Freeride

• Improved low-end power.
  
• Better top end speed.
  
• Lighter weight.
  
• Better trimming guides.

The Ezzy Freeride has cracked the conundrum of how to achieve a sail with the speed, the power and the stability associated with cam sails but without using any cams at all. The deep, draft forward profile of the Freeride actually looks similar to a cammed sail, but instead of using the mechanics of a camber to put the shape into the sail, the Freeride shape comes from a refined technique of seam shaping.

Of course, now a sail easier to rig, and without the cams, the Freeride flips quicker in jibes. That, simply put, means a faster jibe.

The Freeride is built to last, so it contains no monofilm. Stitch for stitch, material for material, the Freeride is built exactly like its cousin, the Ezzy Wave. The Freeride sail body panels are made with our Spectra X film. The foot uses an even stronger, closer spaced, puncture-proof Spectra X film. The vinyl window offers superior visibility and can be cleaned for the life of the sail. And the Freeride employs our removable, triple pulley system which makes downhauling very easy.

Tuning the Freeride is a snap. For setting the downhaul, there are visual indicators on the leech which show you exactly how much downhaul to apply. For setting the outhaul, the Freeride has three clew guide cords, one for light wind, one for medium wind and one for high wind. All you do is set your boom to the length of the guide cord and then outhaul to the end of the boom.

Finally, our quality is second to none. That's why we rig each and every sail in our factory. And while we're rigging, we set the adjustable top to the correct mast length, we adjust the battens with their correct tension then, we carefully inspect the sail. Only once it passes our rigorous inspection does it go into the bag for shipping on to you.
