Atlas
SOLID POWER WITH LIGHTWEIGHT EFFICIENCY. ONSHORE WAVE SAIL.
Atlas gives power and stability with constant drive, allowing it to be used in a large wind range and variety of conditions. It gets planing quickly and has the best drive a wave sail can offer. Atlas is perfect for going upwind, pushing through breaking waves, lift for high jumps and accelerating quickly.

KEY
FEATURES
DEEP PROFILE: extending higher up the sail body, generating power and upwind performance in onshore conditions.
SURFACE TENSION: highest body tension of all NeilPryde waves sails for optimum response and direct drive.
RIDER FOCUSED CENTRE OF EFFORT: perfectly balanced power to ensure stability, drive and the ability to depower when needed.
PROGRESSIVE TWIST: allowing the sail to power up quickly in minimal wind conditions by holding some power in the head of the sail, while spilling any excessive pressure.
WHAT'S
NEW?
High surface tension stabilises the profile making Atlas a very responsive sail with a large wind range. Progressive twist will hold some mid leech tension for upwind performance and drive, while still being able to twist off and spill the excessive power when needed.
Pro
Tip
Ricardo Campello
With Atlas I can really explore my limits. Due to its explosive power and lift this sail will allow me to speed up, launch and rotate like never before. Taming that power is also an option – add some out-haul and it’ll be gentle, too.
Pro
Tip
Philip Köster
When I use the Atlas in onshore conditions I like to have a slightly tighter leech and looser outhaul to have the sail deliver power all the time.
