2010 SAIL
COLLECTION
Even more reasons to be obsessed.

If you thought your existing quiver was everything


you ever needed, you might want to turn away.
Weaker constitutions may even need to be seated -
this is temptation at it’s most provocative;
an entirely new sail range that does almost
everything differently, and better.

For 2010, NeilPryde sails are re-engineered from


the ground up. New form, new function, new
freedom. Extraordinary lightness. Every efficiency
has been re-considered. Every element has a place
and purpose - nothing is peripheral, everything is
deliberate. Windsurfing, pure. It’s like swimming
naked, fast.

The difference is almost an outrage; more feel and


fluidity, enhanced transparency and feedback, real
time response, and less rider fatigue. You’ll find it
a moving experience like no other (Kauli, Antoine,
Jason and the team told us so). All the sails are
created for new levels of strength, performance,
endurance and quality - but you knew that already.
Prepare to enjoy the sport even more.

The 2010 sails also keep the ocean shimmering


fresh with full graphic treatment and a seductive
new range of colours. See for yourself - even if
you have a solid relationship, it’s ok to stare.
Their appearance belies the truth - unlimited power
has never looked so beautiful. Hang them in your
lounge when you’re not using them.

And then tell people you’re not obsessed.

CompaCt waveriding – on/off ins tant response

No boundaries. Every now and then, a development in sport comes along which redefines the parameters,
rocks the establishment and ignites the human spirit. The Fly is such a development. Created for new school wave
riders who also want to be pilots, the Fly says “no” to gravity - translating wave face into launching ramp - giving
you more time for an airshow, or simply to explore the oceans from above. Fast, light, soft feeling, compact and
maneuverable - the Fly gives you liquid control on the water too for the brief moments you’re there, with fully
loaded power for aggressive rail-riding turns and velocity down the line. Especially suited to multi fins boards.
The Fly - it’ll take you to new places. (Just ask Kauli).

The wolf in wolf’s clothing. Make no mistake, the Combat does what it says - and more. All muscle and
no fat - the new Combat is the strongest sail in our wavesail quiver, and perhaps the most telling in yours.
Built for more powerful, dynamic and aggressive sailors, Combat is the undercover assassin without the
undercover bit. Shock and awe in equal measure, Combat delivers die-hard upwind ability and low end
power when you need it, for as long as you want it. Light for jumping, stable for predictability, and strong
for endurance - Combat is equipped to deal with whatever, whenever, and whoever.

Fear nothing. When big bad onshore and his lighter brother come a knocking, now you can open the door.
Today, the balance between the forces is tipped in your favour, because you’ve got Alpha on your side. The new
Alpha - our most powerful wave sail ever - is in no mood for confrontation. When you need to get safely across the
white lines, Alpha is there for you, charging with freight train strength upwind and out the back, and with reassuring
power and control. And when there’s nowhere to hide, the larger monofilm window lets you face your adversaries
with eyes wide open. On your day of reckoning, this is the bully you want on your team.

just as happy pulling tricks in flat water as it is on a wave. Light to handle and quick to power, this is the

H2 propels you with a whole new level of efficiency and performance through a highly refined twin cam
power plant. The result: beautifully balanced constant sail drive and predictable handling for even greater
wind range. The H2 is our fastest freeride sail ever thanks to it’s chemical make-up with behaviour directly
descended from the RS:Racing EVOII gene pool, meaning on the water, the H2 will leave everyone else
wondering what on earth just went passed them. (Amazing what we can do in the lab).

light wind – maximum power

Get Gas. If your only local is low-wind or the forecast breeze never fills in as promised, take a deep breath
of Helium. Helium is essential kit in your quiver because when Mother Nature says no, you can reply with
“well, actually - yes”. Guaranteed to bring you all the planing highs of stronger wind conditions, Helium
satisfies the need for speed with Big Bang acceleration to get you going faster, faster. It’s the most powerful sail
in the freeride collection with a smooth twin-cam profile - stable to the point of being inert - giving you more
predictable control over the elements. And when the breeze fills in, Helium responds with confidence so you can
handle temperamental gusts and increased wind velocity without losing a breath.
Helium - even on light days you can still get the high.

No compromise Freerace – top speed

Handle with care. When you want to let the animal out of the cage and run fast, The RS:Slalom MKIII is
for you. The house-trained version of the lethal RS:Racing EVOII sail, the Slalom is unleashed with less
battens and cams and a smaller luff pocket for easier rigging and control. Be warned though, the animal
instinct runs strong in this one. Its soft, light feel conceals a furious and hungry heart, and in the right hands the
RS:Slalom MKIII is capable of carnage on water with reflex acceleration and blood-curdling straight-line pace.

revered racetrack credentials. Full throttle, camber induced velocity, engineered without compromise and
driven without fear by riders with the same obsession for winning. This year’s evolution is an even more

RS:X - London calling. It’s little wonder our obsession with windsurfing has led to our selection as official
supplier to the Olympic games. In return, we’ve distilled everything we’ve learned in this sport and applied it to
one class of rig now identified the world over as RS:X. To ride this sail is to be one step closer to the dais. RS:X is
engineered in the same headspace as the RS:Racing EVOII and RS:Slalom MKIII sails - as light as possible, and
as fast as impossible. Although substantial in volume at 8.5 and 9.5m, RS:X is built for an extraordinary wind
range; from 3-30 knots, and it can be comfortably handled by even the lightest riders. The RS:X class has a
proprietary NeilPryde mast, boom, board and extensions - ensuring a consistent and complete performance.
RS:X: The equipment is standard, it’s the rider that makes the difference.

BOARD The RS:X is a true cross-over board in that it makes the best compromise between traditional raceboard sailing in
sub-planing conditions, and exciting “Formula” racing in planing conditions starting from 8-10 knots.

PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS:

Sub-Planing Conditions, Dagger-Board down (up to 8-10 knots)


• In light-wind sailing the RS:X board behaves in a similar fashion to a traditional raceboard. However, due to
the shorter length in comparison to a traditional raceboard, the ease of manoeuvrability in tacking and gybing
is significantly improved.
• Startline tactics: Many Olympic racers often sail the board backwards in order to keep a good position on the
start line. The rounded tail on the back of the board, in addition to improving the flow of water, makes it easier
to sail the board backwards!
• Upwind: In a little breeze with the Dagger-Board down, the rider can pump the board onto the rail for good
tracking upwind. On the rail, the “Convex Tail” allows the board to be rolled with the gusts and swells. Side
footstraps help to give the rider more stability and control.
• Downwind: With the Dagger-Board up for going downwind, the board provides good stability for pumping
(if necessary).
Planing Conditions, Dagger-Board up (8-10 knots and above)
• In planing conditions, the board behaves largely like a Formula Windsurfing board, thus giving much faster
performance and a more exciting ride.
• In downwind conditions, with the adjustable mast track set to the back, the board sails both with good speed
and a very steep angle.
* Fin, Dagger-Board and Footstraps are included.

MAST

The RS:X mast is based closely on the masts used in NeilPryde’s matrix mast range. The RS:X is a 90-100% carbon mast that has the same bend curves
and tapers as the NeilPryde Progressive Flex bend curve. The RS:X is a high performance mast designed to work in all wind conditions, both planing

Everybody say a big hello to the new ONE, the mini-me of full blown windsurfing made strictly for
youth. Using ONE is childsplay, and although it has all the appearance, durability and features of it’s
larger siblings, it’s much lighter and easier to handle but just as rewarding to ride - relative to size. And
because we know what it takes to get kids sailing, we’ve reduced the need for parental guidance with the
equipment; the mast head is simpler, the set-up is quicker, and the loads are lighter and more manageable.
Before you know it the little tackers are out on the water doing almost everything faster than you did.
Pretty soon, they’ll be asking you for the keys to your rig.

DYN AMIC COMPACT CLEW (FrEErIDE AND rACINg)

Wind, meet your master.

The Freeride and Racing sails get the total body make-over this year with the inclusion of a major innovation
directly influenced by the NeilPryde racing programme. It’s called the Dynamic Compact Clew.

Totally unique to NeilPryde, DCC brings to sail handling what 4WD, ABS and ESP combined brings to
your car. In extreme gusty conditions or when the wind builds suddenly, DCC compensates and reacts
accordingly by absorbing pressure more evenly, so you stay sheeted in and powered on. Combined with
our new booms, Matrix mast system, and the rest of our sail enhancements, you’ve got unprecedented
control of power to run riot out there.

And you should be out there, NOW.

With Dynamic Compact Clew, where the clew is positioned

to twist off when wind pressure increases. The sail automatically

‘For past few years I used Compact Clew in all my Racing and Freeride designs. That concept helped me design compact, low aspect sails without
increasing the boom length as well as stabilizing the draft by preventing it from moving back . Now it evolved into Dynamic Compact Clew which
is constantly adjusting the batten profile depending on wind pressure in the sail.
In light conditions when the pressure is low the Boom batten supports lower leech in order to get maximum lift and low end power. As the wind
increases and pressure on the leech becomes higher the Boom batten starts to twist off, creating a reflex on the back of the profile and effectively
pushing the draft forward. This greatly increases control in strong winds, so the rider can easily hold optimal sailing position to get maximum
acceleration and speed from every gust!
You will find Dynamic Compact Clew on each of my 2010 Racing and Freeride designs.’
Robert Stroj

COMPACT CLEW (WAvE AND x -OvEr)

Shifting the balance of power.

Power is nothing without control. This years’ Compact Clew enhancement takes a more democratic view
of the wind load to give you better management of sail-power. It’s a simple redistribution of the wealth;
the new clew allows greater area in the lower to mid leech section of the sail where it’s closer to you and
therefore more balanced. Move over big heads; the Compact Clew spells an end to top-heavy sailing,
giving riders a confident neutrality and quiet strength, kind of like the Switzerland of superpowers.

Once we’ve given you the power though, you are free to abuse it.

The Compact Clew improves control of the


sail in 3 ways:

1. Shorter “Working” Boom Length


A shorter boom improves stability by limiting movement of the
draft, and gives the rider greater control over the increased
bottom and mid-leech section surface area.
The 2010 wave and crossover sails have a lower aspect
ratio than in previous years. So, whilst the boom length is not
actually shorter than in the past, without the compact clew
a longer boom length would have been needed in order to
reduce the luff length.

2. Rider Focused Surface Area


Sail surface area can be removed from the head and transferred
down towards the rider. This places a higher percentage of the
sail’s surface area in direct connection with the boom, ensuring
easy control and powerful acceleration when fully sheeted in.

3. Improved Sail Twist


The Compact Clew gives the leech ability to twist further under
high loads, again improving stability and control of the sail.

SAIL SHAPING

Sail shaping balances the speed and power of a sail with control and handling.

Shaping lower down in the sail will produce a little less power but increases manoeuverability. Where as
shaping higher up in the sail creates more drive and low-end power.

In the performance oriented sails this extra power is easy to control due to the profile stability supported
by cams and tube-battens. In the manoeuvre and wave oriented sails, low shaping distribution provides
uncompromised manoeuverability.

MATRIX RIGS
You can’t go to work with a bad back.

The anatomy of the Matrix masts.

NeilPryde Matrix masts take their inspiration from you. Just as the human spine
forms the critical load centre for body movement and posture, a good mast acts
as a pivotal vertebrae to the sail, maintaining optimum aerofoil with stable,
clean and predictable power. Out there, it’s the difference between a
wing and a prayer.

Stiffness, strength, flexibility and sensitivity. Almost impossibly,


Matrix is all of these and more. Matrix masts are hard-wired
with Progressive Flex Bend Curve - a kind of artificial
intelligence built in to react dynamically to changes
in wind strength and direction. Matrix shares your
instinct for self preservation, only it’s reflexes
are faster than yours. Now, even in the
worst conditions, it’s nice to know you
are not alone.

Before you swear


your allegiance, you need
to understand the code:
X3: Strength, durability and
performance with economy.
X6: A step up from the X3 with lighter
materials reducing weight and increasing
performance. X9: Our most advanced mast
series with the highest performance possible.
All 370-400-430 Matrix series masts are also
available in RDM (reduced diameter).

Because every one of our sails is engineered around a


specific flex curve and rigidity, you are correct in thinking
that optimum performance comes when NeilPryde sails and
NeilPryde masts are combined. Together, you’ll get “the feeling”
at a whole new level. Besides, your kit looks a whole lot better, too.

NEILPRYDE’S PROGRESSIVE FLEX


Over the years NeilPryde has developed the “Progressive Flex” bend curve to truly 2. The defined taper of the mast improves its responsiveness and dynamic
maximise sail performance. Twist is one of the most important characteristics of sail performance. It does this by progressively flexing depending on the wind strength
design, and the “Progressive Flex” bend curve allows the sail to twist as dynamically and the amount of load in the rig.
and efficiently as possible.
Simply speaking, as the wind strength increases, a sail will twist and the mast will bend
NeilPryde’s “Progressive Flex” bend curve maximises sail performance and twist in two ways: from the top downwards. In light winds, only the top of the sail will twist so maximum
power is available to the rider. In stronger winds, the sail twist will extend further

A stiffer bottom section is required for draft stability and power, while the lightweight and react to changes in the wind speed, the better a sail can react giving the rider

Power Steering.
The 2010 boom series blows everything else out of the water.

One of the most visibly radical changes you’ll notice across the 2010 NeilPryde collection is the form of the
new ‘S’ shaped booms. The simple shape belies a complex intelligence. The new boom profile is engineered
to place drivers naturally closer to the sail, firmly in control with a more intuitive body position; The boom
shape also compensates for wind pressure change by dynamically assisting with a stable sail shape - when the
pressure arrives - relax, your boom knows how to handle it.

So with all this power, is it going straight to the head? The new Pressure Flow Forging head section
explodes a few myths around traditional construction methods for aluminum booms. Utilizing industry-
first pressure flow forging, the heads are produced with seamless material integrity and unprecedented
strength, rigidity and endurance for the most demanding riders.

Lighter. Stronger. Stiffer - ‘S’ booms are also available in the ‘new school’ head profile in 140cm and
160cm, in the X3 and X6 aluminum and hybrid series. And our X9 - the industry benchmark 100% carbon
boom, is delivered with new construction and new components for unsurpassed strength and durability,
now available with customized slalom and race tails. It’s almost too good to get wet, and you’ll cry if you
scratch it.

Every other boom seems obsolete in comparison.


Everything other boom IS obsolete in comparison.

74
S-shape profile
The clock has long been ticking for conventional boom design, and that’s
because the performance has been held hostage by simple physics. It’s simple
really; as wind pressure increases, a straight or convex boom effectively
becomes shorter as it bends in response to increasing sail load, making
the sail fuller, less efficient and harder to manage.
(Ask your forearms, they’ve been putting up with it for years).

Everybody make way for the new convention; the ‘S’ profile boom.
The unique shape commands the sail to retain its shape and
length whatever the breeze, providing a more stable and
predictable delivery, and more useable power.
The ‘S’ profile is standard this season across
the entire NeilPryde range, so everyone can
get their hands on it.

Pressure Flow Forging (X3/X6)


‘Pressure Flow Forging’ is an innovative technology that allows for shaping of exceptionally
stiff aluminum tubing. By applying this technology on all our Matrix X3 and X6 booms,
the NeilPryde R&D team have managed to create the lightest, strongest and most rigid
aluminum booms available on the market.

‘Pressure Flow Forging’ represents a real breakthrough in boom shaping as the metal is allowed to X3
‘flow’ rather than stretch into shape. Fluid is injected at very high pressure into the aluminum tube that
causes it to expand until it matches an external female mold. This process increases the density of the
aluminum in all areas and provides the ability to control wall thickness, allowing for the creation of
complex shapes that result in a far stronger head. Further, we chose to put the boom arms inside the
head tube and this results in an outside diameter of the head being increased and bringing a further
increase in rigidity and strength.
As a final production process, this already high tech piece is heat tempered to create highest
stiffness and strength.

The first lesson.

For the first time ever, the new X3 and X6 aluminum and hybrid series booms are also 2010 New School
available in the ‘new school’ head profile in both the 140 and 160 series.
The somewhat anti-establishment shape ensures a comfortable ride with less fatigue
because your body position is altogether more natural. Pay attention please.

Now, your wrists are aligned with your forearms regardless of where you hold the boom,
meaning your hands are no longer overstretched, forced or twisted. The pupil becomes
the master: when gusts exhort their authority, the new boom profile gives you the right
to answer back with your leading hand more naturally closer to the mast, giving you
unprecedented control and confidence. Lesson over.

* This is not an extensive list of those boards that fit in the board bags, rather it is a list of 2010 JP boards that are a “confirmed” fit. It should be used as a guide only to give
an example of which boards with particular dimensions could fit the 2010 Board Bags. We reccommend you take your board with you when buying a board bag to confirm the fit.
