about the sail
The new Free Flight Foil Sail impresses with its super easy handling and maneuverability. It is the perfect sail for someone, who is just getting into foiling or wants to focus more on freemoves on the foil. This sail is your go-to for easy gybing, ducking and carving, as well as easy and controlled freeriding. Together with the foil, this sail rotates effortless. This 4 batten and 1 intercam sail (2 cams on the 6.6) is extremely lightweight and has great profile stability, so that you can quick start in lower winds, and truly focus on the feeling of gliding over the water. The one-cam design allows the sail to keep a forward opened profile, while it doesn’t overstep the backhand, truly a front hand driven sail. We have made it our mission to keep this sail really light, hence, only in its biggest size we added one more intercam. Furthermore, we ensured that even with less wind, this sail sets up and is ready to go – your perfect partner for a large variety of foil spots. This easy to rig and ready to go sail is not a sail for speed junkies, but for riders who are all about the foil experience. We recommend the glide series foils with this sail and any freemove freeride freestyle board like the JP FreeFoil.

Mast bend curve and Sail-Mast compatibility
NeilPryde sails are designed around specific mast bend curves following Progresssive Flex concept.
Shorter masts 340cm and 370cm have a Flex Top curve,
larger sizes from 400cm to 490cm follow a Constant Curve Flex Top,
and two largest sizes, 520cm and 550cm are Constant Curve masts.
Using a proper NeilPryde mast with a NeilPryde sail will guarantee maximum rig performance.
