Alpha Windsurfing Sail

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. The new Alpha - committed
to serve and protect. Even onshore is scared of it.
DESIGN
- Central draft location, keeping the sails’s power around the rider and increasing stability
- The deepest and least rotating profile of all NeilPryde wave sails providing constant drive to the board
- Mid-size head enabling a relatively high surface tension that enhances upwind ability and responsive feel
- The most pronounced luff curve of any NP wave sail bringing more power release in the head while maintaining drive and early planning
- Compact clew, resulting in a lower aspect ratio and more maneuverable sail (without increasing the boom length)
- Wide luff sleeve to neutralize and be less direct in gusty conditions
- Load specific reinforcement ensuring strength in the most critical load areas
- Large monofilm window for maximum visibility
WHAT’S NEW
- Lower aspect ratio
- Increased compact clew
- Unnecessary laminated graphic elements removed from the sail
- Up to 20% in weight reduction
- All x-ply made with DYNEEMA® yarns
- Full KEVLARTM tape leech reinforcement
- Laminated KEVLARTM radial reinforcement on clew and tack
- EVA molded, integrated single clew grommet construction
- Lower clew position for improved lower leech twist and sail control when wave riding
