and freeride. It needs to have a high level of control when overpowered,
and be easy to sail and manoeuvrable during transitions. |

The Saber started from the plan form of
a freerace sail for top end speed, and was developed with a tighter
leech in the mid section to boost light wind acceleration. |

A smaller foot and a slightly shorter boom
allow for ease of manoeuvrability, particularly important in a discipline
like Super-X. |

The use of the Neil Pryde Flexhead increases
the sails responsiveness over other crossover sails, especially
when pumping onto a plane. It also allows for a short luff and compact
outline which increase control by putting the power point of the
sail as close as possible to the rider. |

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 over time and durability. |
