DUOTONE Windsurf sail WARP_FOIL 2021

FOIL RACING

The WARP_FOIL extends PWA slalom champion sail. It’s a specific and highly advanced foil design suited for experienced foil racers looking for something that complements the low-drag of the hydrofoil. Compared to traditional fin sailing you have approximately 70% lower drag on the foil. To match low-drag hydrofoils you need to adapt the whole sail profile and twist pattern. The balance between control and performance/speed over a maximum wind range is what counts for winning races. It’s a value that cannot be ignored. With the WARP_FOIL designers have managed to deliver the most high performance, super stable and fast foil racing sail with a huge wind range, to be ridden on the water with a hydrofoil. Following the latest decisions within PWA and national associations the team around chief sail designer Kai Hopf, chief tester Marco Lang and PWA slalom champion Pierre Mortefon have split the WARP_FOIL development into 2 directions: 9.9 - 8.9 course and 8.8 - 7.8 - 6.8 slalom.

Key features:

• Independent course and slalom designs - to meet the different requirements of pwa racing (slalom only) and national races (mainly up-down) duotone has developed highly specialised independent course and slalom designs
• Reduced top roach - reduced head area increases stability and control as it reduces the movement of the upper sail to correspond to the lower drag of the foil
• Reduced weight - reduced weight due to mini protector and super light irocket 2.0 batten tensioner.
• HYPER CAM 2.0 - completely new and technically superior: the camber revolution with adjustable length - for optimised rotation and increased performance
• Larger foot surface is adapted to the more upright rig position in order to guarantee ideal aerodynamics and performance
