SAILS

NEILPRYDE

ATLAS

4.0, 4.2, 4.5, 5.0, 5.8, 6.2

With its power and lift this sail is made for the rider looking to have optimum performance in on-shore conditions while still working well in all other conditions. It gets planing quickly and has the best upwind performance a wave sail can offer. The sail gives great lift for jumping while constant drive will help you make the most out of every wave.

NEILPRYDE

THE FLY 2

3.2, 3.6, 3.9, 4.3, 4.5, 4.8, 5.1, 5.4

Optimum maneuverability with smooth drive. Suitable for wave riding or jumping, this sail will give the best balance in both and gives great control during aerial maneuvers due to its extreme light weight and very low aspect ratio. While more neutral and balanced on the waves compared to last year’s Fly, it offers plenty of grunt for extreme aerial action.

NEILPRYDE

FIREFLY

4.9, 5.3, 5.5, 5.7, 6.1, 6.5, 6.9

A light, powerful, freestyle sail, that accelerates quickly and gets up to speed ready for your next move. For anything from classic to modern freestyle, the FireFly is ready for action. Even taken into the waves, the sail will be right at home. This sail truly bridges the gap between wave sailing, flat water and freestyle with its quick maneuverable character and has plenty of lift to easily get some air – with or without waves.

NEILPRYDE

FUSION

4.9, 5.5, 6.1, 6.7, 7.2

As a pure x-over sail this sail is really suited for anything from flat-water blasting to sailing in small waves. This sail will plane effortlessly, let itself be thrown around into maneuvers and will be forgiving whether you are learning basic moves or advance skills. It has a direct and locked in feel and is extremely versatile with emphasis on ease of use.

NEILPRYDE

HELLCAT

Looking for performance but not looking for cams? This sail is perfect for flat water freeriding. It’s light and easy to use, whilst being fast and responsive…it will thrill. Hellcat’s unique offering is the best drive and speed out of any of the cam-less sails.

NEILPRYDE

HELIUM

6.5, 7.5, 8.5

If you are looking to get planing in light winds without having to carry around the weight of a large sail then this efficient profile will get you going just fine. Helium makes optimum use of its surface area resulting in ultimate top end control and performance.

NEILPRYDE

ONE
