DUOTONE Windsurf sail SUPER HERO 2021

WAVE DRAFT CENTERED

SUPER HERO is THE ultimate wave sail which always performs optimally in all wave conditions around the globe. The perfectly balanced sail is the personal favourite of PWA Wave double world champion Victor Fernandez and is a real World Cup asset that is designed specifically for wave usage. Thanks to the absolutely neutral and perfectly balanced handling, its calm handling characteristics are unrivalled and it remains stable and highly controlled in every situation.

The SUPER HERO feels like a three-batten design combined with the stability of a five-batten one. The specially developed profile blows out very efficiently and produces high propulsion even when underpowered, which is why it’s suitable for almost all riders, regardless of weight. The SUPER HERO’s consistent evolution makes it an even better World Cup sail with an extremely wide range of use in the wave. It continues to give a top-end performance even under the brutal conditions of locations such as the Canary Islands or South Africa, remaining under perfect control with high winds and during extremely overpowered jumps. And yet it also boasts powerful acceleration capabilities at the lower wind limit, alongside an excellent on/off response, which would come in handy when participating in down-the-line surfing on Maui or Mauritius.

To achieve this extraordinary overall package, designer Kai Hopf is tasked with combining numerous individual designs into a single concept. In this year designers have optimised a luff curve to improve twist for bigger wind range. They have moved the profile further up for lighter feeling and improved planning, last change being a head size batten no. 1 has been reduced, that’s why the sail pushes the board down less.

Key features:

• XPLY PLUS - laminate (100/150 micron) with the lowest stretch and best uv- and puncture resistance
• TRI PLY - tri ply foot panel (150 micron): additional 3rd thread direction increases rip-stop ability by 30%
• Hollow lower leech - hollow lower leech with additional mini batten stabilizes the profile right above the boom and prevents leech flattering
• Radial load stripes - radial load stripes at the clew improve the stability and extend the wind range
• Batten free center - as reactive as a 3-batten sail in drift & go conditions yet super stable in overpowered conditions
• IBUMPER 2.0 - the most advanced and effective molded mast protector
• IROCKET 2.0 - factory calibrated individual batten tensions using a torque wrench
