SPEED BLASTING AND FREESTYLE FUN
Action Shots & Rider Quotes - Baptiste Gossein
The most versatile and sporty of the five batten sails in the range, the all-new Excess is for those who love flatwater blasting but also want a sail that can be thrown around in duck gybes and 360’s. With just five battens, it is mainly suited for smaller freeride or crossover boards where its speed makes it great for jumping. Constructed entirely in X-Ply and including Neil Pryde’s new Spectra reinforced X-Ply, it won’t mind the crashes either!

DESIGN OBJECTIVE
HOW WAS IT DONE?
To develop a fast and easy handling freeride sail aimed at flatwater blasting and basic freestyle manoeuvres.
As the fastest of the five batten Wave & Crossover sails, the Excess will also be great for jumping and therefore need to be durable.
The outline and shaping characteristics are typically freeride: a stable and forward shaped profile with plenty of ‘twist and release’ in the head.
The addition of a Kevlar Load Distribution panel in the clew helps to reduce the point loading in the sail and the level of distortion under high loads. This means better shape control and durability over time.
Inside the frame, the main window of the sail has been constructed out of super strong, rip resistant, Spectra reinforced X-Ply. The Excess contains no monofilm and is exclusively produced from X-Ply material.
