I am after a 7m sail to go on an Ezzy Hookipa 430 91%. Just for bay sailing when desperate so I am after speed / power. Not fussed on cams unless very easy to use.

I have been using a 2011Loft Blade 7m on a 430 powerex rdm.
Excellent wind range (15-25+) and durability (100+ outings). Has 4 cams but rotates very easily.

Serverne reflexII 7.0m rigs on a 430 with a luff of 463. One sweet combo

That might not be a good choice on his Ezzy mast.

These seem to go on constant curve masts (at least they make cc mast too - we'd have to research it)
No-cam freeride 6.6m

Another no-cam 6.6 that rigs on a 430 (though it needs 32 cm of extension). Might be too freeride-y for your board though.

I think these are constant curve too (compatible with your mast - not sure about RDMs though)

Imo you wont find an easier Race sail to use then the Loft Blades especially on the RDM
mast. I am Bias though been on them for 4 years now

I think these are reasonably close to an Ezzy mast too.



yer I know a couple of guys using Ezzy mast with the o2 and Blades.
The o2 is there freeride sail. I had a demo 6.6 I used a few times very easy sail to use and not far off the Speeds of the Race sails when going off the wind.
That Link was for last year o2 here the new one now called Oxygen.

Theres also the Switchblade which is in between the o2 and the Blade.

The 6.8 rigs on a 430 mast.

too many options

Are the tekcams little fellers? The switchblade doesn't look like it has a very big luff sleeve.

Yer no wide luff sleeve on the Switchblade more of a freeride/slalom sail.
The cams are fairly standard size

Kerry, you are welcome to try my 7m Blade and I'm sure you can bum a go on Dr Gas's 7m Switch Blade.

I reckon you might like the O2 better as all your other sails are wave sails, and they are also very affordable.
