hello, i am interested in buying a 4.0 and 4.5 wave sails. I am at intermediate level , 88kg, 190cm. I was going to get blades (they seem much more user friendly than S-1 according to... pretty much everyone so they "win" this comparison). I prefer high jumps over wave riding.
But after seeing small size gators advertised as bump n jump sails i cant decide between these and the blades. There are not any reviews on small size gators so i could not get any info (testing them myself isn't an option).
So how these two compare? (on 4.0 and 4.5):
-Which has better low end and which has better high end (4.0 will be my smallest sail)
-Which is better for bump n jump?
-Which is faster?
-Is one of them better for heavier riders? (kinda worries me that gator is Boujmaa's signature sail and he is like 65kg)
Any other info/comments to help me decide are more than welcome!Thank you.
PS: For now i only own a Severne gorilla 400 which i am going to use with these sails since my budget does not allow me to get a 370
PS2: I have been using Naish force and i liked them a lot, so i am looking for something similar in terms of power, with lighter feel.
Thank you.
Hey had3s,
Both the the Blade and the Gator would be good options. The Blade would be better if you spend a bit of time in the waves and like a light weight powerfull sail.(similar to the force) The Gator is a perfect bump and Jump sail which is also a very capable wave sail in that size. The low end and top speed on the Gator would be slightly better. The Blade would de-power as little better resulting in a more manoeuvrable sail.
The Gator has a adjustable head and should be fine on your 400 Gorilla. The Blade is recommended on a 370 but would take a 400.
Thank you for the answer!
i think will buy Gators, since they seem to suit me a bit better according to your info, and i can find them about 20% cheaper.
