WINDSURF UK 5.3m wave sail test
Ezzy Wave 5.2
At a Glance
The Wave SE is Ezzy's flagship sail, continually evolved and scrutinised each year by the assiduous hand of Dave Ezzy. Designed for use on any water state and in any manoeuvre oriented role, it retains an incredible build quality, being exempt from monofilm by opting for a high content of Spectra reinforced X-film instead. The middle vinyl window also stays, whilst a new material is used in the foot of the sail, containing double the content of Spectra to prevent rips from impacts with the rider's harness hook or the nose of the board. Available in three colour schemes, it is a very attractive and robust looking product, without any noticeable increase in physical weight..
Rigging and Set
With an extended padded fairing, there is a lot of Velcro to get through to reach the tack, although the universal joint pad can be removed if you wish. Compatible with standard or RDM masts, it requires a reasonable amount of downhaul effort, and should be set according to the visual trimming aid on the leech. Tuned with positive outhaul, there is significant shape built into the SE's draft, utilising the brand's Endo-batten configuration (battens completely de-rotated) to ensure identical profiles on both tacks.
Ride and Handling
Providing a constant balanced pull in the hands, the SE generates plenty of bottom end power, smoothly transferring its energy to the board for an impressive early planing performance. Once going it is beautifully stable and poised, driving effortlessly through lull d accelerating positively in gusts. No longer posse the on-off feel of its predecessors, the SE has a constant steady drive, being both crisp and controlled, and instilling confidence in the rider as they learn to rely on the sail, In transitions it drives firmly through the turn and whilst not going neutral mid-transition, neither is it heavy or cumbersome to re-position accurately. The real trump card of the 2006 SE's performance is its wind range, which, with a little tuning come strong winds, allows it to be used to devastating effect. Rock-steady, composed and completely dependable, the sail seems to reach a power threshold, beyond which it simply exhausts any excess power so as not to pull the rider's stance out of shape.
For: Perfect control across a massive wind range.
Against: Disregard the outhaul trimming cord!

Gaastra Manic 5.3
At a Glance
The Manic has had quite a makeover for 2006, inspired by the introduction of new designer Dan Kaseler to the Gaastra ranks. With a shorter, more regular boom length than it predecessor, the all-new Manic remains the brand's hardcore wave sail, and along with a completely new look and panel layout, boasts some new innovative features, including 'fold-back stitching' in the foot, a new luff-tube material, and tri-radial panelling to distribute the loading evenly from the sail's corners. A well-engineered and detailed sail, would the 5.3m provide the same impressive level of performance as the 4.7m tested last month?
Rigging and Set
Easy to rig and downhaul, the Session sets Requiring a lot of downhaul, the 5.3m has a significant amount of lull curve, although the roller tack pulley takes much of the strain out of applying the tension required. This is matched with a good degree of outhaul, giving the Manic a very flat tight profile at rest, with all but the bottom batten completely de-rotated from the mast.
Ride and Handling
Incredibly light and neutral in the hands at idle, the Manic quickly adopts a significant camber to its profile as it is sheeted in, the soft Dacron luff panel stretching and forcing shape into the front of the sail Efficiently transferring the power generated into the board, the sail remains crisp and balanced in hands, accelerating up to an impressive speed as it slips through the air. The leech twists off progressively and exhausts any excess power, highlighting the Manic's superb natural wind range; and used in severe conditions, the sail's breathable nature enables it to absorb the impact from harsh chop, making it comfortable and controllable to use for long periods. The Manic's real forte is in transition, providing precise useable power to drive into the turn with confidence, before going completely neutral in the hands as it is sheeted out, enabling it to be re-positioned effortlessly, Come the top turn and the power instantly returns as it is sheeted in , offering the energy to snap a sharp and aggressive cutback.
For: Massive user appeal, wind range, precise yet easily attainable performance.
Against: Not conventional, so takes time to get used to ... but with time spent you will learn to love it!

Gaastra Poisson 5.4
At a Glance
Classed as their 'real-world wave powerhouse', the Poison compliments the Manic in Gaastra's range as their all-round sail for coastal sailing in any environment or application, from onshore wave riding to high-wind freestyle and freeriding. With a slightly longer boom, the main difference between the two is that the 5.4m Poison sets on a 430cm mast, and utilises x-ply in its luff panel (where the Manic uses Dacron), to give it a more instantaneous feel in the hands. Standing out on the water in its white x-ply livery, the Poison is a very attractive looking sail, displaying all the attention to detail you'd expect from this well established loft, including a thermo-moulded tack fairing and their excellent 'Strap-On' cord.
Rigging and Set
Like the Manic, the Poison requires a good amount of tension through both the downhaul and outhaul, setting very flat, with the battens Completely derotated from the mast. Possessing high levels of skin tension, the leech is loose in the top two panels, but remains tight in its mid-section, irrespective of the pressure applied.
Ride and Handling
On the water, the difference between the Poison and its sibling is very striking. Whereas the Manic powers up in a smooth and progressive manner (albeit rapidly), the Poison is much more abrupt and instantaneous in the hands. Forceful yet supremely balanced, the power is focussed towards the backhand and can be used to great effect in manoeuvre-oriented sailing, the rider constantly aware of where the sail's energy is coming from. In transition, the 5.4m goes neutral the instant it is sheeted out, supplying stunningly sharp on-off power for the most critical of moments, In gusty conditions or severe sea states, the Poison is undoubtedly more involving to use for long periods and will demand more energy, input and concentration from the rider, providing feedback at all times. As such, the Poison is ideal for heavier riders or those with an aggressive sailing We, the constant energy in the backhand being something they would thrive on, effectively acting as an extra gear.
For: Razor-sharp power delivery for the heavy/aggressive sailor.
Against: Against: Lighter sailors should look to the Manic

Goya 5.3
At a Glance
After a much-anticipated launch, the Goya wave sails have arrived in the UK and visually look as if they were worth waiting for! Clean and eyecatching, they are designed for use in any conceivable wave environment, by riders of any style or ability. The 5.3m is recommended for use with a 430cm mast, although its feel can be softened with more twist by utilising a 430cm bottom section with a 400cm top piece. With no material added purely for aesthetics and minimal seam joints, every effort has been made to reduce the Goya's physical weight whilst maintaining its strength and durability.
Rigging and Set
Using a Goya RDM 430cm mast, the 5.3m has lots of luff curve and requires significant downhaul, generating masses of leech twist to meet the trimming guide-marks situated very close to the leading edge in the top panel of the sail, Setting flat, it retains rotation in its two lower battens, the power delivery adjusted by varying the increment of positive outhaul according to the downhaul.
Ride and Handling
On the water the Goya possessed a very smooth and compact feel in the hands, despite being one of the tallest sails in the group. Light and balanced at rest, the draft fills evenly as it is sheeted in, generating steady progressive power instead of forceful grunt. Driving from a low forward position, the Goya has a real ease and softness to its ride, perfectly poised and centred in the hands as it absorbs any harsh feedback from chop. When overpowered, the tight skin tension in the draft and efficient twist amount to superb control levels, allowing the rider to confidently go for their manoeuvres; as they would do under normal power. Not surprisingly, the Goya scores incredibly well in transition, undoubtedly suited to fast fluid styles in cross/cross-off conditions, going neutral and allowing the rider to get lower, driving off the front foot to commit the board through the turn. In crosson waves, it remains very capable but doesn't have the same drive through short sharp corners as foils with pre-shape built in. Equally capable for high wind bump-and-jump sailing, the Goya's precise, composed handling makes it rewarding and enjoyable to sail when others are struggling.
For: Extremely light precise handling. Top end stability.
Against: Not for the heavier sailor that likes to feel a lot of grunt through the hands

Naish Force 5.3
At a Glance
Classed as Naish's 'powerhouse real world wave sail', the Force is the product of continual refinement since the brand's conception, and remains Robby's own sail of choice to this day. With an exclusive use of x-ply in its panels, including a'chrome'x-ply of their own, the Force is visually very eye-catching on the water, and whilst retaining the brand's excellent build quality, has been re-engineered to make it lighter and slightly softer for improved handling. In addition, the clew eyelet has been set into the sail slightly so that the boom end sits in-line with the trailing edge of the sail, designed to make the sail feel smaller and more reactive in the hands without compromising its power delivery.
Rigging and Set
Rigging in a conventional manner, the Force requires moderate downhaul and outhaul tension, setting relatively flat and retaining some rotation in its main battens, whilst the leech falls away in the two top panels.
Ride and Handling
On the water the Force generates a great deal of bottom end power, with shape being pulled into the draft as a gust hits. Accelerating smoothly in the hands, it feels supremely light and responsive throughout, transferring its energy to the board as it cuts efficiently through the air. With an excellent natural range, it is exceptionally comfortable for use in a coastaf blasting role, handling great surges in wind without any loss of stability, and cruising through lulls effortlessly. Unquestionably softer in nature than its predecessor, the 2006 Force delivers the same power initiative but in a much smoother, more refined manner so as not to take the lighter/more nervous pilot by surprise. Crisp and precise during the bottom turn, the drive is there to commit into the arc with the sail sheeted in, but disappears mid-transition as the sail goes neutral in the hands. And whilst perhaps not as sharp or direct in response as the 2005 Force for the top turn , the more progressive power delivery undoubtedly improves the Force's user appeal and ease of use in any wave environment.
For: Smooth power, light handling, and dependable stability.
Against: A sail that is hard to fault!

Naish Session 5.3
At a Glance
The Session compliments the Force in Naish's range as their dedicated down-the-line wave sail. Designed around the needs of both the 'hardcore wave enthusiast and lighter sailors', it has been refined by the brand's new head designer Nils Rosenblad for an even softer feel and lighter physical weight. Using computer aided technology to optimise the luff curve and shaping in its profile, it is a very attractive and well thought out sail, with extensive use of x-ply in its panels and intuitive details such as countersunk batten ends to prevent them scuffing or de-tensioning. In fact the one single thing missing that we have now come to expect from a sail of this quality is a built-in tether to hold the rolled sail together
Rigging and Set
The Session is one of the easiest sails in the test to rig correctly, being effortless to downhaul and setting in a conventional manner. The leech falls away progressively under increased tension and whilst there is very little depth to the sail's profile at idle, it does possess quite a significant amount of play in the luff tube, allowing the draft to stretch and breathe.
Ride and Handling
Extremely light and easy at rest, the Session has an incredibly precise sweet-spot, centred about level with the sailor's front shoulder. As such it feels very neutral and pivotal in the hands, the power steadily coming on as the draft stretches to adopt its full shape. Comfortable in the most vicious coastal chop, the Session's soft nature and perfect twist pattern allows it to exhaust violent gusts effortlessly, leaving the rider to maintain their normal stance unhindered. Blasting around a break, it is tremendous fun for aerial manoeuvres, going seemingly weightless once in the air and having little or no noticeable swing weight during rotational stunts. In the bottom turn the Session doesn't possess the same positive drive as the Force, which is particularly evident when used in cross-onshore conditions. Nevertheless, it goes beautifully neutral once sheeted-out making it easy to manipulate into the desired position for the cutback. Soft, light and perfectly composed, the Session is ideal for cross-off conditions or the lighter rider, with a level of control that makes it a pleasure to use in the most extreme conditions.
For: Light manoeuvrable handling and top end ease.
Against: Heavy / real world sailors craving con drive will be more suited to the Force.

Neilpryde Combat 5.2
At a Glance
2006 marks the second year of this, the second term of duty for the Combat - a sail name that dominated the scene in the early to mid-nineties. Earmarked as the most versatile performer in the Neil Pryde wave range, it has a soft but powerful nature, designed for use by the more aggressive sailors of the Pryde team in any wave environment. Very eye-catching in its orange livery, it certainly stands out on the water and has been engineered with durability in mind (including refined seams in luff sleeve to help direct the mast whilst rigging, and reinforcement where rubbing occurs most frequently), to withstand the harshest conditions and most extreme wipe-outs! Rigging and Set Rigging in a conventional manner, the Combat requires moderate downhaul and outhaul tension, setting with progressive leech twist and a reasonable amount of pre-shape in its profile. In addition, there is quite a bit of play in the luff tube material, allowing the draft to stretch and 'breathe' as the sail is sheeted in.
Ride and Handling
Generating constant forward drive thanks to the pre-shape, as the wind strengthens the Combat's power delivery increases significantly, the draft stretching to adopt a fuller profile. The centre of effort is positioned low and forward in the sail, efficiently transferring energy to the board whilst feeling quite direct and solid in the hands, providing continuous feedback to the rider The wind range of the Combat is impressive, with both natural range and a good level of tuning adjustment available. In severe conditions, its breathable nature is a very welcome quality, absorbing the impact from confused chop and making it comfortable to use for long periods. In the bottom turn, the Combat pins the board into the turn and pulls forcefully throughout, rewarding decisive riding styles with plenty of power to express themselves. It doesn't go neutral in the turn, so requires good technique and concentration to put its ample drive to good use, especially in well-powered conditions. Combining constant manageable power with direct balanced handling, the Combat is a solid performer for use in any coastal environment.
For: Dependable power source over a wide win( range. Stunning appearance.
Against: Against: Constant drive takes some getting used to, especially when wave riding.

Neilpryde Search 5.4
At a Glance
The Search continues into 2006 as Neil Prycle's most powerful wave sail, engineered chiefly for use in typical onshore/cross-on European conditions. Focussing on its early planing performance, wind range and stability, head designer Robert Stroj has built a lot of shape into the bottom section of the sail to generate the power required. Said to be the sail of choice for the heavier members of the Pryde team, it sees some extra detailing for the new season, including the brand's own version of the StrapOn, and a tack fairing using neoprene for ease of access to the cringle.
Rigging and Set
Setting with considerable camber to its draft, the Search takes quite a bit of downhaul effort, the leech falling away in its top two panels but remaining taut in its mid-section. Even when more pressure is applied than the recommended increments advise, the Search retains the preshape underneath the boom, along with an extremely solid batten rotation. Ride and Handling With masses of bottom end grunt, the Search is a real powerhouse, feeling bigger than its quoted size in the hands. Forcing the most stubborn hull out of the water, it has an extremely solid foil shape, constantly driving forwards and encouraging the rider into a locked-in stance, feeling distinctly freeride in nature. Blasting round a coastal break, it is very effective for straight-line work or bump-and-jump sailing, and whilst the upper leech twists off well, its movement is noticeable due to the sail's heavy build along its trailing edge. In transition, the Search is well-matched for assertive riding styles, powering into the turn forcefully yet never going neutral due to the pre-shape, requiring some aggression to re-position successfully. As the wind increases, the extent of the Search's power continues to increase, the focus of which begins to shift to the backhand, requiring a strong arm to keep it under control. Best suited for heavy/athletic sailors that thrive on constant feedback, the Search is a forceful engine for powerful riding styles.
For: Monstrous levels of grunt for the most power hungry rider.
Against: The solid, fixed camber in the draft dictates the sail's forceful nature, which will overwhelm the lighter/less experienced passenger.

Northsails Duke 5.4
At a Glance
The Duke has had a complete makeover for 2006, classed as North's crossover freestyle-wave sail, for use on both flat-water and in real-world wave conditions. With a reduced batten count and a more positive twist configuration, the allnew design is said to be lighter, more direct and responsive in the hands. Like all the sails in the North range, Kai Hopf has tried to make the sails as practical as possible, the whole Duke range (4.2-6.9m) capable of setting on a 430cm mast. With a similar appearance and build quality to the Ice, the Duke really stands out on the water thanks to the white x-ply used in its upper panels.
Rigging and Set
Setting with lots of progressive leech twist, the Duke boasts a massive tuning range, from being full and powerful under minimal tension to setting relatively flat when significant outhaul pressure is used. The provided increments were accurate and the VTS system very useful whilst tuning the sail.
Ride and Handling
On the water, the Duke gave a very rounded performance that found favour with all who used it. Powerful and positive, the 2006 model is incredibly balanced in the hands, making its energy easily controllable and ultimately useable. With a more solid feel than the Ice, it drives comfortably through confused conditions, the leech twisting efficiently to exhaust excess power. The centre of effort is locked in front of the sailor at around head height, providing the leverage and impetus to enter manoeuvres with confidence, and whilst not going completely neutral in transition, the Duke remains fantastically stable and precise throughout. Despite having a good natural wind range, the beauty of the Duke lies in its range of adjustment, allowing it to be fine-tuned to suit specific rider styles. An excellent all-round performer, the Duke has masses of user appeal, providing crisp, balanced and controllable power for any rider weight or application.
For: Bags of useable power. User-friendly, and versatile in application.
Against: Lightweights may well prefer the lighter power delivery of the Ice.

Northsails Ice 5.3
At a Glance
New to the North line-up for 2006, the Ice replaces the Superstar as their World Cup Wave sail, designed by Kai Hopf for use in any wave environment. With the whole range setting on one mast, a special effort has been made to reduce the Ice's physical weight and improve its handling, adopting a five batten layout, whilst incorporating the brand's TT7op head configuration into a newly refined twist pattern. Possessing the usual high build quality we've come to expect from the North loft, it is a well thought-out and engineered foil, also available with eye-catching white x-ply in its upper panels.
Rigging and Set
Effor1less to rig and tune thanks to North's excellent VTS system, the Ice sets conventionally, the leech failing away progressively under increased downhaul, whist the power delivery is determined playing the outhaul. There is plenty of pre-shape present in the draft of the Ice, the centre of effort locked at around shoulder height and forward in the sail.
Ride and Handling
Supremely light and balanced in the hands at idle, the bottom end of the Ice is certainly there, yet its power is very focussed , never pulling on your backhand. With good techniqu and a deft sensitive approach, the rider can use the power to great effect an get on t a plane as early as any other. Once on the plane, the 5.3m feels much smaller in the hands than its quoted size suggests, partly due to its short boom length and also due to its sweet-spot being so perfectly balanced and precise. A joy to use in manoeuvres, it is the first sail we've used with significant pre-shape that effectively goes neutral mid-transition, making it easy to re-position as you prepare for the cutback. Its wind range is equally impressive, with subtle retuning on both the downhaul and outhaul locking the centre of effort forward in the draft and retaining the Ice's superb handling characteristics in severe conditions. Ideal for use in any discipline, from down the line wave riding to high-wind coastal freeride sailing, the Ice is an excellent all-round sail, suitable for all but the heavy/aggressive sailor that demands constant positive feedback through the backhand.
For: All-round versatility, build quality and supremely light handling.
Against: Not for those that crave constant backhan feedback.

Northsaisl Voodoo 5.3
At a Glance
The Voodoo has been in North's wave range for years now, being their harccore model designed to survive the most brutal conditions. Coming with a five year warranty, North are confident of the sail's durability, emphasising various features such as the use of double seam technology, a Ripstop frame outline, and the complete absence of monofilm in its panels, opting for a high content of x-ply instead. Incorporating a vinyl window to promote an elastic feel in the sail's character, the whole Voodoo range is compatible with just one mast size (400cm). Rigging and Set There is a significant amount of pre-shape in the Voodoo's draft, forcing shape right into the front of the toil. It stays there irrespective of the amount of downhaul applied, whereas the leech opens up progressively along its length. Using the outhaul increment to determine the extent of the camber, the sail retains a lot of positive rotation in its main battens and whilst built robustly, it is not excessively heavy in the hands.
Ride and Handling
Providing a good degree of bottom end drive, the 5.3m Voodoo transfers its power smoothly to the board, supplying positive feedback to the rider as it physically accelerates in their hands. Stable and controlled once on the plane, it has a particularly soft nature, allowing the sail to move around the pilot and absorb the harsh impact from chop - reassuring when using it in confused sea states. In extreme winds, the high centre of effort does tend to shift back and forth a little (largely due to the vinyl window stretching in gusts) and whilst in no way overbearing or making the sail a handful to use, the movement does take some getting used to. Initiated into the bottom turn, the 5.3m rewards a confident riding style, actively levering the rider into the carve and supplying good constant drive throughout; and whilst it never goes completely neutral, the sail's soft pliable nature provides enough time delay to easily re-position the sail mid-transition.
For: Comfortable and durable enough to handle the most severe conditions.
Against: Stretch and movement in vinyl window takes a little getting used to.

Simmer Crossover 5.3
At a Glance
The Crossover is classed by Simmer as their 'onshore wave powerhouse', designed to be used in typical European conditions, The recipient of great acclaim over the last three seasons, Simmer have concentrated hard not to detract from the sail's performance, but introduce improvements to its power, control and stability through subtle tweaks and refinements. A well-engineered and attractive looking sail on the water, it uses thick 7mil monofilm in its main panels, surrounded by coloured x-ply in the head and foot, and Kevlar xply along the length of the leech.
Rigging and Set
Setting on a 430cm mast, the Crossover requires moderate downhaul effort for minimum set, the leech remaining quite tight in its mid-section, whilst the sail retains a significant amount of shape and rotation low down, tuning the power delivery on the outhaul. Possessing an excellent tuning range, there is a lot of room for experimentation as the wind increases, playing the outhaul against the downhaul.
Ride and Handling
We have come to expect a lot from the Crossover over the years, and held our breaths as we took it out for the first time ... luckily we didn't have to hold it for long! The Crossover is still an exceptional allround sail, with a blend of characteristics that will endear it to any rider style, weight or ability. Super stable and precise in the hands, its centre of effort is focussed low and forward in the draft, transferring power efficiently to the board. If anything, it has become more powerful than last years, providing a constant solid drive that is incredibly balanced and never pulls the rider's stance out of shape. Encouraging a locked-in posture, it can be used to great effect in a coastal blasting mode, pinning the board down whilst deftly absorbing the impact of chop, remaining composed in the gustiest conditions. Despite its full foot shape and low centre of effort, the Crossover is also an excellent sail in manoeuvre, feeling crisp and light as it is sheeted out, before providing the sharp response for exacting the most expressive transitions.
For: Power, balance and handling giving it universal appeal.
Against: An all-round sail that few will be able to fault.

Tushingham Rock 5.2
At a Glance
Tushingham pride themselves in constantly refining their range of sails from year to year, rather than making big changes for the sake of it, and 2006 is no exception. With a subtle but noticeable facelift, the Rock has had a makeover for the new season, seeing the introduction of Optic 2 UV x-ply around its perimeter and a modification to its seam shaping. Its attention to detail has also been stepped up, with the inclusion of a 3D moulded tack fairing and Tushingham's own tether to hold the rolled sail in place, Well-engineered and thought out, the Rock looks better the ever and boasts the durability to survive considerable punishment.
Rigging and Set
The beauty of the Rock (and most other sails in the Tushingham range for that matter) is that its set is not critical in the slightest, possessing a massive tuning range. The leech falls away progressively under increased downhaul tension, whilst the outhaul can be used effectively to adjust the depth of the sail's profile once powered. Ride and Handling With little pre-shape in its draft, the Rock sits perfectly balanced and neutral in the hands at idle, waiting for shape to be pulled in with a gust. Powering steadily as the wind increases, it has a particularly soft, easy feel about it, which comes as real comfort when sailing in a severe coastal environment. Moving around the sailor and exhausting violent surges efficiently, it has an impressive stability and natural range, yet the rider can take extra reassurance in the knowledge that additional tuning range is always available should it be needed. With the centre of effort low and forward, it drives its energy through the board, pinning it down and covering distance effortlessly, making an excellent coastal bump and jump engine. In the bottom turn, the Rock doesn't drive forcefully throughout the turn (as dedicated wave sailors would demand, especially in cross-on conditions), but goes neutral in the hands once sheeted out, the battens moving to sit flat next to the mast. Easy to reposition for the cutback, the power returns smoothly rather that directly or instantaneously, making it very manageable and easy at the most critical moment.
For: Massive wind range, soft easy feel.
Against: Not as precise or tight as the most dedicated sailor may demand.
