“Lightweight Powerhouse” In order to blow away the competition even further, we have introduced the Plasma Technora range. When you add Technora to anything it gets better. We have a new unique fiber X ply material that reduces the sail weight by 10% while adding more strength…. Hard to believe? Try one for yourself.
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
•• Twin Cam power •• Tighter, firmer leech For better attachment to light winds
•• Deep cam shape for early planing •• Triangulated load bearing panel layout Gives the most strength to weight ratio
Dan Kasler Comments: “Because of the Technora technology the rig is more stable and supported. There is not a lot of material movement and your ride is completely SILENT - it is kinda spooky!”

“Creating Positive Experience” Available in Dacron and X-Ply construction, the Freetime will get more windsurfers on the water and drive more stoke for the sport.
Designed with Resorts and School oriented performance in mind with the aim of creating positive windsurfing experiences. The Freetime delivers stable and forgiving performance through intelligent rigging components, precise balance and controlling the initial pull of the sail. Reduced luff lengths and a light mast make the Freetime feel much lighter than the typical “school” rig. The top batten offers added stability and range through leech twist in the head and the center of effort is focused around the sailor’s hands for perfect balance.
