2013 MauiSails TR-9xt

For the racer who is looking at the lightest and potentially fastest TR-9, we are again offering a version using the well tested ODL04 Technora™ laminate. A significant modification to the body panel layout of the TR-9 XT locates materials in a way that best combines the “crisp” feel of monofilm in the lower body with the light weight and softness of Technora™ in the upper sail body and leech. Test results of the new layout have shown significant advantage over previous constructions.

Gear – 2013 MauiSails Legend a side-shore wave sail

The Legend remains MauiSails flagship side-shore wave sail.   A marginally forward oriented draft provides ease of transition to driving bottom turns to neutral when coming off the top.  This ability for control crosses over making it a great sail for gnarly, gusty high wind areas like the Gorge and Pozo.

New for this year, MauiSails is using a exclusive light weight gradient X-Ply in the upper portion of the sail.  The gradient X-Ply has excellent strength to weight properties  and looks cool in the sun creating a gradient reflection.  The material was a result of several years of testing and development.

The legend is available from sizes 2.9 to 6.1.  For more information on the legend and the complete MauiSails lineup check out the MaiuSails.com.

Black Box First Prototype

This is the first footage of the first prototype from Starboard that worked amazingly well for Dany Bruch. It is his “dream board” creation project for light winds and mushy waves, based on existing real surfboards.

After this video some more prototypes were build to have all details worked out in perfection and to be added to the final master board. The “Black Box” is now in production, has been added to the 2014 Starboard board range and will be in the shops by mid 2013.

A clip with production board Nº 00001 and more details will be coming soon.

Introducing the Simmer Freemove

The Simmer Freemove, simmer has taken some extreme concepts and combined them to create an extremely all-round and versatile board. The rocker is a super fast freeride version of the low drag curves that we developed for their Fly Quad and Freewave boards. Combining the thin deck shape with the boxy rails, the board delivers excellent acceleration and high top-end speed, while still maintaining control and balance. The performance-oriented rocker and rails are combined with a versatile, wide and curvy outline. Together with the carefully constructed v flow a good degree of lift is provided allowing for larger sails and heavier riders. Other features are easy jibing all though the speed range.
