| Model: 2007 Neil Pryde One 2.0/2.5/3.0/3.5/4.0m
Description: HIGH PERFORMANCE FOR YOUTH. The ONE sail and rig is a complete, high performance package designed to suit the needs of youth windsurfers. Essentially a scaled down version of a full size NeilPryde sail, the ONE benefits from all the same product features including a loose leech, twisting head and durable X-ply construction. Consequently, the ONE delivers the same high performance standard. Designed for use in conjunction with the ONE mast and boom, the ONE is ideally suited to young windsurfers looking to take the next step after learning the basics.
DESIGN OBJECTIVE
- To produce a scaled-down version of a Neil Pryde wave sail and rig package without compromising performance.
- Rig package should be tailored to meet the needs of youth windsurfers weighing no more than 50kg.
- Durability is essential.
ACHIEVED BY:
- Closely basing the sail design on the NeilPryde wave sails as these sails represent the best combination between control, manoeuverability and easy handling.
- Very low center of effort for a high level of control, particularly for small riders.
- Light shaping for ease of planing and stability.
- Light luff curve shaping, and an open, twisted leech gives the sail a light and forgiving feeling.
- A rotated sail body combined with the reduced diameter of the ONE mast, makes the sail de-power on demand and have a very soft rotation, making tacking and gybing a breeze.
- The ONE sail employs the frame concept for durability with a full metalised X-Ply outer frame. Inside the frame, the window is constructed in monofilm; great for visibility and keeping the sail light.

Model: 2007 Neil Pryde Saber 5.7/6.2/6.7/7.2/ 7.7/8.2m
Description: ULTIMATE CAMBERLESS PERFORMANCE
Conceived as a supercross sail, the SABER has evolved into a dynamic combination of speed, control and manoeuvrability. With 7 battens, including 5 tubes, compact boom length and a race oriented profile, the SABER has all the power, acceleration and top-end speed critical for the pros on the supercross course and will be appreciated when racing your friends. Should the opportunity arise to attempt a move, be it a duck gybe, carving 360 or loop, the SABER's camberless design allows the rider the manoeuvrability to complete it. DESIGN OBJECTIVE
- To develop a high performance freeride sail without the use of cambers.
- The sail must be fast, very stable, feature good low-end power and overall light weight.
- The SABER is to be a sail whose performance sits between high wind slalom racing and freeride. As such, it needs a high level of control when overpowered while being easy to use and manoeuvre during transitions.
- Increase the SABER's wind range – improve low-end power, top-end speed and control without compromising stability.
- Give the sail a less direct, more forgiving feeling.
Make the sail easier to rig, particularly on X3 and X6 masts.
ACHIEVED BY:
- Basing the design on the outline of a freerace sail for top end speed.
- Designing a slightly tighter middle leech into the SABER to improve light air and upwind performance.
- The SABER features the largest foot area of all the no cam sails. It also features a cross-batten (in the boom area), and compact boom length. This, in combination with forward/bottom oriented shaping, and 5 tube battens, increases control and stability by focusing the sails' power around the rider.
- Using a Flex-head batten to increase responsiveness compared to other crossover sails – especially when pumping onto the plane.
- Creating a more compact, lower-aspect sail outline by using a longer boom and shorter luff length (see diagram). The increased boom length, and subsequent reduction in the size of roach, not only creates more power but, by lowering the "power triangle" (an imaginary triangle that joins the tip of the mast, the clew and the foot) and bringing it closer to the rider, there is a significant increase in control.
- Introduction of a wider luff sleeve. This will make the sail more forgiving and less direct, particularly when hit by a gust.
- An increase in the width of the luff sleeve will make the sail easier to rig.

Model: 2007 Neil Pryde Combat 3.7/4.0/4.2/4.5/4.7 5.0/5.2/5.6m
Description: The most versatile of the wave sails, the COMBAT is equally at home in huge onshore white water or side-offshore winds and peeling waves. This, combined with the COMBAT’s reinforced X-Ply construction, results in a sail that no matter how much trouble you get yourself into, will see you on the other side.
DESIGN OBJECTIVE:
- To develop an all-round wave sail that feels equally at home in side shore and onshore conditions.
- To be a sail that features strong construction and durability. COMBAT is for riders who want to "go big" without worrying about the survival of their equipment.
- Give the sail a more lightweight, soft feeling while maintaining bottom end performance and good up-wind ability.
- Develop a more neutral sail that will de-power easily during tight turns and when landing jumps.
ACHIEVED BY:
- The COMBAT shares a similar aspect ratio to the Zone, but with additional shaping (draft) and luff curve. By retaining a similar aspect ratio to the Zone, the COMBAT delivers a light, manoeuvrable sail for side shore conditions; while moderate shaping provides the power necessary for onshore conditions.
- A medium rotated sail body allows for instant depower during wave riding and manoeuvres.
- The COMBAT has more leech tension than the Zone. This improves upwind performance and early planing.
- Increased luff curve (compared to the Zone) provides smooth power, stability and direct drive.
- 100% X-ply sail body, no use of mono-film. This greatly enhances durability.
- Introduction of a more progressive luff-curve that allows the sail to twist under load – but retains leech tension where needed in the area immediately above the boom.
- Less shaping under the battens reduces the "sailing weight" of the COMBAT and provides for softer rotation, and a more “neutral” feeling sail.
