The NATURAL is powerful and playful as well as a manageable allrounder, which makes windsurfing as easy and relaxed as possible. This is evident from the fact that all sizes from from 6.2 up are equipped with CROSS.BATTEN and CUTAWAY.CLEW and now have deeper profiles. As a result all the new NATURAL’s have excellent passive acceleration even without much pumping, fascinating speed potential and an increased draft stability.
The powerful and playful manageable all-rounder now has even more performance than its predecessor and multiple test-winner. This is shown by the fact that all sizes from 6.2 are equipped with CROSS.BATTEN and CUTAWAY.CLEW which gives the NATURAL not only better acceleration but also an increase in high end stability and speed.
In the course of laborious tests, KaiHopf developed a new sail layout that requires much less trimming know-how. This means less time and knowledge is required for the setup, without need for subsequent adjustments!
The secret of the perfectly balanced range of the NATURAL is the PROGRESSIVE.BATTEN.CONFIGURATION. As a result, the focus for sizes up to 5.8 is still on handling and draft stability, which explains why only 5 battens are in place.
At 6.2 and above, the design focuses on performance while Kai Hopf once again concentrated on simple rig control and handling characteristics. Both versions offer excellent control, a high level of comfort, and plenty of planing ability - the perf ect synthesis of speed, acceleration, and handling.
The new NATURAL will make windsurfing much less complicated, and we believe that for many sailors the problem of choosing the right equipment is almost obsolete.

The DRIVE.LIGHT and SUPERLIGHT models in iMODULAR.DESIGN are two ultra light Crossover sails for a wide range of applications. Their balanced shape and very low weight caters particularly to both entry-level and ambitious riders. Both sails facilitate the step to the next skill level, while assisting the rider in learning new maneuvers.
The sophisticated mixture of materials, in combination with the RIPSTOP.FRAME.DESIGN allows the use of an extremely lightweight monofilm, without compromising durability. Its incredibly easy handling is particularly popular among ladies and juniors.
The DRIVE.FIRST was specially designed for children. There are five sizes with an individual batten arrangement, that focuses on children‘s ergonomic needs and physical power, that is, a high quality, powerful material that lets kids have real fun and positive rewards with windsurfing from the very first moment.
Additionally, we developed special mast/boom components for the DRIVE.SUPERLIGHT and DRIVE.FIRST. And yes! That means both models are also available as complete rigs!
ESPECIALLY FOR KIDS AND JUNIORS WE HAVE PUT AN ENORMOUS EFFORT IN DEVELOPING AN OWN SAIL RANGE. ACCORDING TO THE MOTTO: JUST THE BEST FOR THE KIDS!
Most sail brands use exactly the same materials for their kids sail as in the adult sails (e.g. heavy X.P LY ). Completely over engineered as surf center managers and instructors think and refer to the basic physical requirements. Through years of cooperation with all major schools (e.g. VDWS, Club Mistral, Planet) NorthSails has gained an enormous competitive edge in this area, which is fully incorporated into the DRIVE.GROM line. A very balanced shape and lightweight cloths are used which are adapted to the lower weight and the lack of power of the target group. The new DRIVE.GROM therefore is likely the most specialised Kids sail on the market!
The DRIVE.GROM particularly benefits of the sophisticated mix of materials in combination with the iMODULAR.DESIGN and use of lightweight mono-film without compromising durability. Five sizes with individual batten configurations based on the ergonomics and physical power of the youngsters result in high-quality and high-performance equipment so that fun and success of the kids are guaranteed right from the beginning.
Additionally, we developed special mast/boom components for the DRIVE.GROM! That means the DRIVE.GROM is also available as complete rigs!

F2 MAST
After finishing our new sail lines, we chose to use only the best masttechnology to complete our sail range. F2 offers the latest shapes in mast technology with reduced diameter (RDM), or in a classic design standard diameter (SDM). In addition, we used polyamide - which is 60 times more resistant to abrasion than bare carbon - to reinforce our booms.
The coating is printed very extensive in new race optic from below. Depending on length and Carbon rate - we cover all performance levels, so the character of each rig can always be adjusted to the Surfer. Together with or new F2 sail range, we offer a minimal concept with best performance.
Our brand new F2 Checker is our ultimate Kids Sail, equipped with 3 Sailbattens, Dacron Sailcloth, durable monofilm and a cool design. It was important to us that Kids can handle the sail easily, already while rigging, so that the fun already begins at the beach.
Its absolutely easy to pull it off the water and it expands an even - easy to control - force. The Checker in sizes 2.5, 3.0 and 3.5 come with a two-part thin Epoxymast, matching vario boom, mast foot adapter, line set and Sail sleeve. Sizes 1.5 and 2.5 are supplied with an Alumast, matching boom, mast foot adapter, line set and Sail sleeve.
