Down The Line Wave
The Fly is a truly specialized wave-riding sail. The three-batten compact design combined with the new Powerfuse construction and PVC/Dacron lower luff area makes for the lightest, most neutral sail in our range. It totally depowers on the wave and offers great sail control in gusty conditions, allowing you to fully focus on your surfing. Fast, light, soft feeling, compact and maneuverable, the Fly provides aggressive rail-riding turns and velocity down the line. Pure surf.
DESIGNER'S COMMENT
New Powerfuse allows us to reduce the weight while increasing the strength in critical sections making The Fly the lightest and, next to Combat HD, the strongest sail in the NeilPryde range. The PVC/ Dacron lower luff area of the sail works as a “suspension” to absorb shock loads present when the sail twists-off in gusts, on chop or when landing jumps. This elastic front section absorbs the shock while at the same time locks the pro le distribution to the front. Result is a soft, forgiving sail that is incredibly stable (even when compared to 4 batten sails) that depowers completely on the wave
FEATURES
- Cross batten construction allows all three battens to provide the critical leech support while the bottom batten shaping is kept low and forward below the boom area
- Fuse Pocket construction for a fully symmetrical batten cavity
- Minimum distance between the clew and the cross batten distributes the load very evenly and prevents the draft to move back as well as keeping the sail stable.
- Compact outline - Distance between the battens on the leech is reduced and crossing batten is even closer to the clew improving handling of the sail.
- Mini flat leech rod battens for optimum support and smooth finish.
