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.

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

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.

 

DEDICATED FREERIDE FOIL SAIL FOR CONTROLLED FLIGHT AND EASY PROGRESS.

 

OVERVIEW

Light and stable in your hands for are smooth and controlled ride on any foil board. Based on the concepts of our race winning slalom foil sails we've managed to transfer the locked, low-backhand-pressure design onto the Ride Foil. The high aspect profile gives you improved aerodynamics for early takeoff and good top speed. The short boom and carefully designed twist characterics make your flight controlled, easy and stable without sudden load changes. This might well be the most user-friendly and powerful freeride foil sail out there. We're absolutely stoked about the outcome of this sail!

 

CONSTRUCTION

Ease-of-use in the "PATRIK"-way. We carefully selected a no-compromise light but durable construction especially for our freeride sail range.
The luff panel is a 2.5 MIL x/scrim-ply which loads gently but is more robust and higher load resistant compared to the dacron.
The sail bottom part is made of 5 MIL x-ply material to give good protection against impacts without compromising the weight too much. The main window is a solid and thick 5 MIL monofilm which provides best combo between visibility, impact resistance and weight. All these things should still be combined with a good shape stability, which is a key factor in this area (main power of the sail). For the top part of the sail, we chose a 4 MIL blue tinted monofilm, which is lighter and adds UV-resistance where you don't need to see through.
As a further bonus, we chose a clear 5 MIL x-ply and blue 5 MIL x-ply along leech and top panel, to add a touch of wear resistance to the area which is always stressed while rigging and rolling the sail.
 

TRIM

The ride on a foil sail needs to be smooth and easy otherwise the changing power load will get you out of balance and into trouble. So make sure to put enough downhaul as indicated by the change of colour on the batten sleeves. Use the outhaul to select the amount of backhand power you prefer according to your size and body weight. Use the lower clew position in strong winds or when feeling overpowered. Please note that the small sizes are RDM only while the big sizes can be rigged on SDM for some extra power. Still we highly recommend using RDM on all Ride Foil sizes for the most controlled, light and easy flight feeling.
