Its Character:
A powerful masterpiece and a symbol of control. Using a rich forward positioned profile for great drive mixed with good skin tension, the Point-7 SPY Freewave 2024 is a powerful yet extremely controllable sail which ensures you stay on top of things in the widest variety of conditions and range of winds. The leech falling away smoothly down to batten four, whereas both it and the bottom batten retain plenty of rotation around the mast. Up-to-date detailing, and the upward geometry of the battens themselves also give an idea of the sail's intended performance credentials High-cut foot and high clew eyelet positions give the sail a distinctly beefed-up wave specific appearance. Undoubtedly the right choice for many and most.
On the water:
Point-7 SPY Freewave 2024 is fast, efficiently transitioning the extra power from gusts into more speed. Whilst always balanced in the hands, as it gathers speed, the Point-7 SPY Freewave 2024 feels lighter and lighter, helping to inspire the user to try new maneuvers or drop into the next set of waves. The Spy generates a good deal of bottom end grunt. The center of pressure is located high and forward in the draft, its power amplified by the high position of the clew, offering the rider plenty of useable feedback. It is a real powerhouse of a sail, giving even to the heavier or taller rider the impetus to pump and release their board onto the plane early. It has an impressive all-round nature, happily fulfilling diverse roles, from high wind blasting engine, to marginal wind powerhouse for the opportunist. In transition the Spy retains its power and drive rather than going neutral in the hands, yet its stability is unwavering, allowing the rider to rely upon it and reposition at will, the battens rotating positively around the mast.
Materials:
- 5mil Anti UV- X-ply base panel for protection from accidents. All our Ply, X-ply, and Scrims monofilm are produced in the Unites States.
- X-ply Anti UV- window only where it would not obstruct perfect vision.
- 5mil central transparent monofilm visibility window.
- X-ply alternate batten pockets for lighter weight and reflex.
- 4mil Anti UV X-ply laminate for high reactivity.
- 2.5 mil Anti UV X-ply laminate for light weight and forgiving in landings.
Target Development:
Targeting an ideal blend of measured power and balanced handling. Assuring an efficient energy to the board, even with a shorter boom length, making it shorter than what you would normally expect. From light wind wave sail to high wind straight-line blaster.
Rigging:
The Point-7 SPY Freewave 2024 is straightforward to rig, requiring little force to counter its luff curve to set the rotation of the profile to obtain a slight loose leach which falls to the front point of the first top mini batten. Playing with the outhaul on the higher ring, will boost power or increase control but do give a good outhaul tension until you find your perfect performance. Tighten the bottom and top batten, but just remove wrinkles on the other battens without overtightening them. If the wind becomes increasingly severe, the Spy can be retuned with more tension, increasing the twist in the leech without losing much shape in the draft. For wave sailing use the lower ring and decrease the downhaul by 2cm from max specs setting.
