New product : Neil Pryde Windsurf, Atlas Let the power go to your head

Neil Pryde Atlas offers predictable, steady and user-friendly drive, ideal for use in all wind and wave conditions. Early to plane, the Atlas is up and ready for action with efficient, usable power at all times. Featuring great upwind ability and acceleration, it pushes hard when conditions are less than ideal and its high lift characteristics ensure massive jumping performance. Atlas features the revolutionary Forceline Frame construction for dynamic load and shape control and even more durability.

KEY FEATURES

Higher Draft Distribution combined with a deep profile, generates power and maximum upwind performance in onshore conditions.

Higher Leech tension allowing the sail to power up quickly in minimal wind conditions by holding some power in the head.

Progressive twist for optimum response and constant drive, while being able to release any excessive pressure.

Rider focused centre of effort: Perfectly balanced power to ensure profile stability and control.


DESIGNER'S COMMENT

This is a wave sail with a tighter leech and a higher center of effort than the Fly or Combat. In on-shore conditions, the Atlas still generates drive as the upper sections of the sail are still in cleaner, stronger wind. This means the drive is consistent and you can get back into the pocket of the wave even in an underpowered bottom turn.
