Foil Glide III

FOILGLIDE 3 _FREERIDE FOIL

The FoilGlide 3 is NOT just a freeride sail with ‘Foil’ written on it… Specifically designed for foiling with focus on the following points;

LIGHTWEIGHT. 

This is one of the most important characteristics. And we do lightweight sails better than anyone.

HIGH CENTRE OF LIFT. 

Increases leverage for efficiency. Improves pumpability. 

STABLE. 

Reduced draft movement means there’s less influence on trim. Better to keep everything constant. Cams keep the sail profile stable and minimize any movement.

SHORT BOOMS. 

Better control. The shorter boom length allows you to adjust your stance easily.
After the success of our foil racing sail, the HyperGlide, we have created a user-friendly freeride version – the FoilGlide. Sharing a lot of technology and ideology these sails are the ultimate for foiling.

The high-aspect design is more stable, more efficient, and more controllable. The shorter boom lengths are easy to manage, and position the Centre of Effort directly above the foil. Combined with a tighter leech, the leverage is increased which gets you up and foiling with a smaller sail in lighter winds.

With only 5 battens and lightweight construction, the physical weight of these sails is significantly less than other sails. For foiling this makes maintaining trim much easier, and just a lot more fun to use.

The FoilGlide is THE choice for freeride foiling.

 

FREE FLIGHT.   Bitte verfügbare Größen VOR Bestellung anfragen. Es sind nicht immer alle Größen auf Lager.

EASY HANDLING & MANEUVERABILTY

Our first dedicated foil freeride sail. Ultra-light weight, early flying. Optimum efficiency to get the most out of every foil session, allowing you to use the smallest sail possible.

4 battens and 1 mini cam (2 on the 6.6) make for the lightest possible feeling while maintaining stability. A short boom and tight leech get you flying as early as possible and feeling weightless over the foil.

INNOVATION

Designed and tested at our NeilPryde Maui Design Center by Robert Stroj, then further developed through our team riders' feedback from across the world. No stone is left uncovered in our relentless drive to be the best at what we do.
 

SAIL FEATURES

Free Flight is designed to get you up on the foil as quickly as possible, allowing you to use a tiny sail relative to the wind speed.

Since there is less need for wind release in the leech during foiling, Free Flight takes advantage of the added power and stability gained by a tight leech design. This also allows you to use a smaller sail.

Due to the more upright sailing position when foiling, the foot area of Free Flight is increased to allow you to close the gap when foiling with an upright sail position. This maximizes performance and efficiency.

4 batten layout to provide a stable base and light weight.

Smaller sizes feature 1 mini cam for optimum profile stability vs weight ratio. The 6.6 uses 2 mini cams to add extra stability in the lower portion of the sail in this sail's biggest size.

Designing this sail specifically for foiling allows us to provide maximum foil-specific benefits to take advantage of all the possible efficiency gains available to sails which do not need to cater for fin use.

 

HYPER 7 _FOIL RACE

HYPER CHARGED FLIGHT.

The “HyperGlide” is now the “Hyper”. This shift represents the progression from the early-day foil sail development to a podium-winning platform.

The results are clear. Riding the HyperGlide, the Severne team won the following titles in 2023: PWA Mens Slalom World Champion, PWA Mens Vice World Champion, and PWA Womens Slalom World Champion.

The Hyper’s legacy is clear; it has achieved countless national, continental, and world titles over the years; and has formed the base for the current Olympic racing program.

Hyper 7 entry profiles flatter, deepening as you move back in the sail. This design tweak results in more glide and a slippery in-flight feeling. The low drag configuration is boosted by a more open area right above the boom. Altogether, this also generates less downforce on your board. More stability equals more speed.

Power delivery is neutral and intuitive, working with you across a wider wind range boosted by an Xtended range design. The benefit is a much smoother ride, but lock in the Hyper 7 and it will react decisively for a race-winning performance. Fly First Class.

Flight Evo V

(Bitte verfügbare Größen VOR Bestellung anfragen. Es sind nicht immer alle Größen auf Lager)

FOIL RACING. REDEFINED.

Building on the success of our 2023 Flight EVO IV, our most technologically advanced foil sail has been redesigned once more to cater for the insatiable demands of our top foil racers. The entire sail is modeled in 3D in its actual flying shape with twist and luff curve accounted for. Quadruple luff panels blend with full carbon battens above the boom for ultimate performance. Higher aspect ratio with increased release in mid leech improve acceleration and cross - wind performance.

SAIL FEATURES

RS:Racing holds more world titles and speed records than any other racing sail over the past 20 years.

4 levels of material make up the luff sleeve to increase strength and load carrying performance in this critical, high-stress area of the sail. This luff sleeve design allows us to carry a maximum amount of downhaul tension and greatly reduces stretch in the luff sleeve area, thus increasing performance.

New for 2024, Taffeta in the upper luff sleeve increases stretch resistance, performance and durability.

Ultimate control and stability are provided by the 7 batten design. 

Battens are laid out in an aerodynamically correct way, taking into account the rake of the sail when sailing. This improves airflow, allows for easier rotation and faster acceleration.

Carbon ribs sewn onto the upper sleeve’s leading edge stabilize this critical section of the profile on the highest battens where cambers are not used.

This helps maintain the sail’s profile clean, reducing drag, allowing higher top speed and ensuring proper rotation.

The new materials have allowed us to improve durability and increase stretch resistance to create an even more responsive and competitive race sail.

The outline of the RS:Flight is much higher aspect than the RS:Racing outline. This allows the sail to take maximum advantage of every gust and promotes maximum speed and upwind/downwind performance.

Designed purely for foil free-race, RS:Flight takes advantages of design features which are not optimal to use on fin sails due to the need for control and wind release over chop when using a fin. Hence, RS:Flight features all the design advantages listed above to gain maximum performance when used to power a pure foil race board.

 

V8 Flight is THE Future of performance free ride foiling, available in all sizes to cover complete wind range from 6-25 knots; developed for riders that want to out-fly the others!

Four sizes available from 5.0 to 8.0

 

HIGH ASPECT RATIO DESIGN. REFINED.

Foiling requires a very precise technique as it is crucial that the position of the draft stays unchanged to keep the flight stable and uninterrupted.

The very high aspect ratio design of the sail adds efficiency, while keeping profile stability and this way dramatically improves the foiling experience. This specific design makes the sail’s luff longer, therefore allowing for the boom to be shorter, which translates to more control.

HIGHER EFFICIENCY

Lift is created by the leading edge. On a high aspect sail, the leading edge is much longer relative to the sail size and this extra lift creates a more efficient sail for the rider. One of the major drag components is the tip vortex. On a high aspect ratio sail this is relatively less compared to the overall sail size, hence the effect is minimized.

V8 Flight is rigged with tighter leech compared to conventional V8 freerace sail and provides exceptional performance in light wind; 8.0 on the foil will easily out-plane (or out-fly) any super large free ride sails while it will remain stable and fast even once the wind picks up.

 

COMPONENT SLEEVE CONSTRUCTION

Combining different materials in the sleeve sections allows us to achieve optimum profile entry stability and elasticity, smooth rotation and light weight.

By removing any stitching that could come in contact with the mast we created a seamless leading edge. This increases precision during the assembly process, reducing weight at the leading edge and creating a perfectly clean profile entry to eliminate construction weak spots.

Lightweight TetoronTM Upper-front section (1) offers the necessary elasticity and durability to resist direct mast contact.

A low stretch DyneemaTM Armour Web section (2) can take high downhaul tension and is critical in stabilizing the profile entry, providing smooth bridging between UltraCams.

A tapered strip of TetoronTM along the back edge of the sleeve (3) where it connects to the sail body is used to provide the necessary elasticity in this area together with improved durability.

The bottom part of the sleeve is finished in our durable and elastic Luff Glide material (4) allowing for important smooth rotation.
