Volt HD is an amazing freestyle / wave sail. Features 5 batten construction, wide wind range, stability, good acceleration and easy handling. Very controllable and stable in overpowered conditions. It’s fast, agile and manoeuvrable. Recommended for intermediate riders and above who don’t want to hold on tight with one riding style but like to mix it up. Smaller sizes are more oriented towards wave riders and bigger ones for freestylers. You can call this sail ultimate all in freestyle/wave sail thanks to its diversity and versatility. The best performance is provided with RDM mast, however, you can also use it with SDM masts. Easy to control, pumping is effortless and efficient. It comes with durable construction with good profile and plenty of power generated in low-end. HD version (heavy duty) makes it extremely durable and resistant to crashes, wipe-outs and abrasions. Reinforced on the entire area, without vulnerable points. It features monofilm free hardcore cross yarn laminate construction for the most brutal conditions.

Technologies

• Set & Go VarioTop
  From the first rigging now the length of the vario top is set correctly. Easy to read length indicators show the perfect setting in relation to the used mast length which eliminates any testing and readjustment!
• Double Seam Technology
  NorthSails stands for unsurpassed quality that guarantees a longer life for our sails. The triple zig-zag seams significantly contribute to this. And they don‘t come, as usual, in a single, but in a double version! They cover all exposed crash areas that would otherwise be damaged. The result is higher resistance to tear and a reduction of stretch by up to 50% as a result of the second seam, also benefiting profile stability and performance. Only the DOUBLE.SEAM.TECHNOLOGY by NorthSails can deliver this!
• HTS Harnessline Trim System
  Forget the time-consuming search for the ideal harness line position, the numb forearms, and the endless fiddling around! The patented print on the sail shows exactly where the center of the harness line has to be. Just position the two ends symmetrically at the left and right of the print, that‘s all.
• Individual Boom Length Indication
  Since the boom is positioned at different points on the mast depending on the rider‘s height, the ideal boom length varies due to the different angles. To make it easier to find the right length fast, the individual recommendations are written directly on the luff panel at boom level.
• VTS Visual Trim System
  Even newcomers can immediately trim the sail 100% correctly. Simply downhaul the sail until the boarderline of the loose leech reaches the “min dot“ or “max dot“ (depending on the wind speed). That’s it! The exclusive VTS acts like a turbocharger, ensuring maximum performance and an extended range of use.
• Epoxy Batten
  There is no higher load on the equipment as you get during Wave riding or Freestyle. Brute forces when getting washed or heavy wipe-outs can quickly spoil the fun. For this reason, from now on all wave and freestyle sails (except IDOL_LTD) are equipped with brand new, extremely durable epoxy battens that can really survive anything.
• Balanced Cross Yarn Laminate
  Some brands use exotic and expensive thread materials, like Kevlar or Spectra for their X.Ply laminates. At first view this sounds great as these materials have approx. half the stretch than the Polyester threads we use. On the other hand it's important to know that the monofilm around the threads is also made of Polyester. This leads to a very uneven construction. Rather than having a certain give/elasticity to “buffer” load peaks without breaking, the non-stretch Kevlar/Spectra threads rip the film from the inside out. With a Polyester-film + Polyester-thread construction you avoid the film becoming a weak spot as all materials have the same elongation.
