Looks great!

Can you tell me if they are saying good or bad things about the sail?
(can't read that...)


Did anyone here ever tried this sail?

Thanks again...

The Google translation :

Review Details: Severne Sails SWAT!

Newcomer in the range of wave Severne Sails, the SWAT quickly attracted riders of the team. This compact wave of 4 slats is intended to Freestyle and Wave. La SWAT est déclinée dans une gamme simple de 5 surfaces de 3.7 à 5.7m².

Our impressions

We had at our disposal a test sail for the review of details we had lent the importer Hitech. Unfortunately the wind conditions did not permit to test it under optimum conditions (too windy!). Nevertheless we were able to draw some rough edges with the new SWAT 2010. The sail appears in EXTREMELY slight hands with these 4 slats and mast 400 for a 5.7. The reduced length to boom with the step that gives the impression of water have a 5m² in the hands instead of a 5.7.

The Swat is built entirely in X-ply is neat and unadorned with decorative minialiste in insignia on one side. We feel that Severn is the hunt for the weight and took advantage of providing a veil priced.

We have been surprised by the return to tack an eyelet with a pulley sheaves 3 independent but is ultimately extremely effective as it can étarquer this SWAT a hand up! There is a small pouch built into the protective mat.

I have a set from 3.7 to 5.2. I love them!! Have used S1's, blades and Gators, but for me these are the ones.

They feel so light, have a good wind range and feel really comfortable when overpowered with the slightly soft feel. The high cut foot saves me many times on late hits in waves and trying freestyle - you won't have to worry about putting your harness hook through the foot of the sail!

These sails are cheaper, but the construction seems really good, I've had alot of use/crashes on my 4.7 and no damage.

I'm 68kg, and hate sails such as NP Alpha's that are heavy on the backhand and try to pull you over the front....
