Greets. I',m interested in the 4-batten 2014 Salt 5,6. Anyone gave it a try, or perhaps other sizes? My only concern is that I will be using it for flatwater, not wave use, and whether it makes for a good combo with single fin fsw boards.
Rider weight 80kg, intermediate to advanced.
Regards
My son uses the salt 4.8 for freestyling and small wave riding.
For flat water sailing on a fsw you would be better off with a P7 Sado, I have the 5.4 that I rig on a 90 jp fsw, great combo.
Sail has lot of grunt (5 battens) and great balance.
But I still prefer my P7cammed sails...![]()

Yeah, the Sado has a lot more grunt. It's the onshore wave sail (equivalent to the NP Atlas). The Salt is one of the most popular sails in their range though; I think it's a pretty versatile sail. I primarily used Salt's as my wavesail of choice but it depowers quite quickly as it was designed as a down-the-line wave sail so it doesn't have as much shape down low. I would go for the Sado.
FYI I used to work for P7 for a number of years ;-)
Thanks! Sado is not in stock..only Salt 5.6 and the Slansh 5.2..maybe i should go for the latter instead?:)
the slash is a pure "hard core" freestyle sail, probably depowers quite quick too.
you can have my 5.4 sado for 300$ plus shipping :-) ![]()
