We present the Point-7 SLASH Freestyle 2024 sail.
POP, SPIN & ROTATE! STRAIGHT-PROFILED FOUR-BATTEN CONSTRUCTION TO WIN TITLES.
Designed for:
Freestylers, this is your no-compromise sail for extreme riding! We’ve traveled to the top freestyle spots on extreme tours, refining this sail to win the PWA & EFPT world titles.
About this sail:
• No wind range limits
• Fast acceleration to allow moves in tighter spaces
• Power in lighter winds and greater stability in stronger winds
• Lots of pop
• In a triple move sequence, it won’t limit the power to just the first move
• Super light in the hands
• The most functional freestyle sail
What's new:
A completely new structure featuring a new luff XLY panel to further stabilize the profile and provide an extra boost of power. The new structural bands stiffen the sail even more, resulting in a faster response and a direct feel that is even more precise and sharp when finishing the move.
Its Character:
A powerful sail with fast acceleration that allows for maneuvers in tight spaces. It delivers power in lighter winds and greater stability in stronger winds. Lots of pop! Stability throughout its entire structure. Very pleasant for cruising and for getting a taste of the freestyle world!
On the water:
Super light in the hands with good power on the front hand for extreme acceleration in tight spaces. It delivers a precise profile you can rely on to execute all kinds of moves. Power all the way for triple moves. Easy and comfortable in all conditions, letting you focus on the action.
Materials:
1. A large Dacron panel enables earlier planing and more pop in the sail.
2. Anti-UV transparent gray window for a 100% Anti-UV monofilm sail.
3. X-ply alternate batten pockets for lighter weight and responsiveness.
4. 5mil Anti-UV X-ply base panel for protection against accidents.
5. 4mil Anti-UV X-ply laminate for high responsiveness.
Target Development:
No gimmicks have been invented or sewn onto the sail. The team requested the most functional freestyle sail possible with a significantly reduced weight to allow for unrestricted execution of the fastest and highest triple moves.
Rigging:
The Point-7 SLASH Freestyle 2024 is straightforward to rig, requiring little force to counter its luff curve and set the profile’s rotation according to each freestyler’s needs. Adjusting the outhaul will boost power or increase control, but be sure to maintain good outhaul tension. Tighten the bottom and top battens, but simply smooth out wrinkles on the other battens without over-tensioning them.
