DESCRIPTION
The legendary, extremely crisp and responsive wave sail with the most direct power on/off switch presents itself after this year’s weight diet even lighter, with an incredibly wide range of use. It works with either single- or multi-fin wave boards and even in freewave jumping conditions. With 4 battens (except the 6.2 size) and the identical material construction to the SUPER_HERO, the new SUPER_STAR is ready for ambitious wave riders.
The more forward and slightly higher draft position gives the SUPER_STAR its individualized character. The forward draft position guarantees a strong performance spectrum and a wide range of use from classic wave riding to freewave bump and jump. The SUPER_STAR easily manages the balancing act from perfect down the line conditions to sessions in gusty and underpowered onshore conditions. Especially the 4.2 and smaller sizes have been optimized for maximum control during jumping and riding down the line. Since the sail generates more lift in the upper area, the board gets lifted improving the low-end power.
FEATURES
- Light done right construction: weight reduction of 200 to 300g
- VTS Tail Outhaul Specs: defined visual indicators for the correct outhaul extension (when using VTS tail boom)
- One Piece Sleeve: no more seam at the leading edge
- XPLY Center Panel: except for the window, the entire sail made of XPLY
- VTS Downhaul 2.0: optional quick rigging patch to spot downhaul trimming without even looking at the top
- Epoxy Battens: unbreakable epoxy battens
- iRocket 2.0: factory calibrated individual batten tensions
WHAT’S NEW FOR 2022?
- Reduced Weight – 200-300g depending on sail size
- Optimized panel layout with reinforcement patches
- Increased durability and elasticity: entire sail made from X-Ply except window
- “One Piece Sleeve” mast sleeve design
- Slightly shorter luff length with a decreased foil tension
The One Piece Sleeve allows for precise tuning and a refined shape, resulting in a more sensitive and harmonious reflex. The slightly shorter luff and the decreased sail foil tension creates a slightly softer profile. This makes it more stable to sail and very balanced in the hands.
