Action Shots & Rider Quotes - Ricardo Campello

The Expression is the crossover sail for those who windsurf mainly on flatwater but still want the versatility to ride the waves when the opportunity arises. Designed to provide very early planing with the balance and control needed for complex manoeuvres, the Expression is the sail of choice for the young PWA Freestyle World Champion Ricardo Campello… and the generation of riders, young and old, that he has helped to inspire.

DESIGN OBJECTIVE

HOW WAS IT DONE?

•	To further improve the sail’s versatility and its crossover into the waves, while continuing the successful Expression formula: a direct feel, stability, and neutrality in manoeuvres.

•	New 05: 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.

DESIGN & SHAPING FEATURES

•	Similar high aspect ratio to the Search for high response.
•	Aggressive shaping in the lower section of the sail for added and early planing.
•	The Expression produces the most lift of all the five Batten sails.
•	Well-rotated body allows the sail to de-power at will and remain neutral in manoeuvres.
•	Light but strong construction including limited use of monofilm for lightness in the hands.
