2012 severne bLADE
The Blade is a performance wave sail designed to create the perfect blend between power and control. This sail drives power down into the board through every turn. Technical materials maintain lightweight handling and smooth power delivery.
PRODUCT IDEOLOGY
- Control orientated wave sail
- Unsurpassed durability
- Power centred low in the sail for driving the board through turns
KEY FEATURES
100% X-ply construction
3 Specific Material Zones:
- CONTROL ZONE: NEW eM³ in the upper section of the sail to reduce weight, lower the swing weight, increase response and promote manoeuvrability
- POWER ZONE: KS Optic X-ply window panel for no compromise visibility and durability
- IMPACT ZONE: HD Dyneema foot panel for bombproof durability
- Double seams. Everywhere.
- Aramid Torsion Frame – a Kevlar perimeter for maximum strength
- ARC - Aramid Radial Clew distributes the load evenly into the sail body through bias aligned Kevlar
- Seamless head and foot construction – the lightest, most durable design. Resulting in zero seam creep or seam related failure
- Dacron luff panel for smooth power delivery

2012 north ice
On the brand new ICE Kai Hopf dug deep into his bag of tricks. At first glance, perhaps you just realise the new design and the more compact appearance.
Numerous changes are hidden in detail. E.g. the shorter luff has a very positive effect. Everything feels more compact and at the same time more neutral making the ICE easier than ever to handle. The handling has improved significantly, without loosing any planing power of its predecessor thanks to a modified luff curve and optimised profile distribution. It is unbelievable how just a few centimetres can make such a change!
In addition, key success factors were obtained for the ICE. E.g. the unique base geometry, which will lower the center of gravity making the sail neutral. Or the impressive performance over a very wide wind range and the instantaneous reaction. This is the result of the iMODULAR.DESIGN.
KEY FEATURES
- New: reduced luff length and approx. 10% reduced sail weight makes the sail feel a lot lighter in your hands
- New: iBUMPER, the most advanced and effective molded mast protector
- TWIN.TRIM.CLEW allows for individual tuning increasing the range of use
- Designed to work best on RDM masts but still fully compatible with our SDM masts
- MINIMUM.MAST.CONCEPT: one mast (400-19) fits all sizes

2012 neilpryde Combat
Combat is an all-round wave sail. It performs equally in all conditions – from huge, white water onshore to perfect cross-offshore winds and peeling waves. It combines versatility with performance. Combat is built extra tough for aggressive, hard-riding wave sailors who are looking for durability.
KEY FEATURES
- FULL ARMOURWEB construction for optimum durability.
- MODERATE LUFF CURVE and shaping making the sail extremely versatile.
- LOW ASPECT RATIO keeps the power low down where it can be controlled easily.
- PROGRESSIVE LUFF CURVE: makes the sail tuneable to accommodate its versatility. The sail will always have a reasonable draft in the bottom, under minimal and maximum downhaul settings.
Sizes:
4.0m, luff: 365cm , boom: 152cm , mast: 340cm/370cm
4.5m, luff: 381cm , boom: 160cm , mast: 370cm
5.0m, luff: 404cm , boom: 168cm , mast: 400cm
2012 neilpryde ATLAS
Atlas gives power and stability with constant drive, allowing it to be used in a large wind range and variety of conditions. It gets planing quickly and has the best drive a wave sail can offer. Atlas is perfect for going upwind, pushing through breaking waves, lift for high jumps and accelerating quickly.
KEY FEATURES
- DEEP PROFILE: extending higher up the sail body, generating power and upwind performance in onshore conditions.
- SURFACE TENSION: highest body tension of all NeilPryde waves sails for optimum response and direct drive.
- RIDER FOCUSED CENTRE OF EFFORT: perfectly balanced power to ensure stability, drive and the ability to depower when needed.
- PROGRESSIVE TWIST: allowing the sail to power up quickly in minimal wind conditions by holding some power in the head of the sail, while spilling any excessive pressure.
Sizes:
5.4m, luff: 419cm , boom: 177cm , mast: 400cm
2011 severne blade
The Blade's ideology is derived from the fusion of power and control.

- Power centred low in the sail for driving the board through the turns
- 100% X-ply construction
New for 2011
- Reduced weight with lightweight eM3 extended above the top batten
- Reduced swing weight
- Dropped clew decreases boom lengths in the larger sizes which increases manoeuvrability, reduces swing weight and provides a more cohesive feel within the range

The third place. There’s windsurfing. There’s surfing. And there’s something else. When you go there, you’ll need the Zone. If you’re heading for a “close to surfing” experience, then the Zone is your ride; featherlight responsiveness, strength and control - it’s our most invisible sail yet. Super accurate point and shoot handling is the least you’d expect, but the neutrality and transparency is something you probably never imagined. Zone; the third place. It’s the place where Jason hangs out.
