Helium Windsurfing Sail

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.
DESIGN
- Deep, pronounced centre to backhand oriented profile for extremely early planning and optimum lift in light winds
- Dynamic Compact clew, making the profile behind the clew able to twist off when wind pressure increases. The sail automatically adjusting its shape and thus controlling excessive power
- Progressive use of monofilm thickness to combine a lightweight upper section with a durable foot area
- Batten layout: 5 full battens + flex head batten for combination between light weight and low-end power
- Moderate luff curve for medium body tension resulting in exceptional early planing abilities
- Load specific reinforcement ensuring strength in the most critical load areas, while keeping the sail construction as light as possible
WHAT’S NEW
- Ultracam F.R provides top performance of regular ultracam in a compact design with facilitated rotation
- Through compact Ultracam F.R design, it was possible to reduce the sleeve width in order to save weight
- Significantly increased dynamic compact clew increasing optimum wind-range and help the rider maintain a stable position and control over the board
- Full KEVLARTM tape leech reinforcement
- DYNEEMA® x-ply reinforced foot clew and luff areas
- Unnecessary laminated graphic elements removed from the sail
- Laminated KEVLARTM radial reinforcement on clew and tack
- EVA molded, integrated single clew grommet construction
