Pro
Tip
Maarten van Ochten
The new NeilPryde Solar is a really easy sail to rig, ride and has excellent control when overpowered or just chasing the slightest gust of wind on your freeride board. The sail is great for those who’d like to learn waterstarts, good carving gybes and for just having a good blast. A number one for freeride fun on the water.
