TUESDAY, 10:23AM. An old Chevy Pick Up rolls intoHaiku. The exhaust pipe is only fixed with one screw andthe oil track reveals a lot of the 300.000 miles on thespeedometer. On the tail-gate the gear piles up, waitingto hit the water. Micah Buzianis presses the horn andafter repeating this twice Nik Baker comes out of thedoor of his winter pad. After loading up another twoboards and four rigs the truck is on its way to Hookipa.

The weather is supposed to be fine; a few clouds overthe bay seem to fade moving towards Haleakala a fewmiles away. While driving it becomes quite clear that thewind has increased during the last hour. Nik takes a lastsip from the coffee cup before they finally reach theirdestination. Hookipa Beach Park is already reachingmaximum capacity with the parking lot jam-packed, butMicah skilfully manoeuvres into some free space rightnext to the guys from Paia Connection. "Lookin goodare the last words before both of them fully concentrate

on rigging the sails, sails from NORTH SAILS as well assails from other competing brands. Nik and Micahs taskis to compare the on the water performance of the newSUPERSTAR, INSTINCT, TRIPLE XXX to the correspon-ding sails from the competitors. Only a week ago the finalprototypes arrived from NORTH SAILS loft in Haiku.

After a detailed briefing, Australian designer and ex worldcupper Kai Hopf handed over the sails to Nik and Micah.Due to the lack of waves they headed straight over toKanaha Beach Park to do the mandatory flat waterperformance check. Now that it seems a big swell hasfinally reached the North Shore its time to tear apartsome big waves at Hookipa.

AT THE SAME TIME IN GRAN CANARIA... which isone of the toughest spots in Europe; nowhere else is thewind more merciless and the beaches harder to reachthan in Gran Canaria. Fast breaking waves, tough localsand of course the critical eye of the press is the dailyprogram. You have to give more than 100% if you wantto be at the top. And there is no time for a break: Daidaand Iballa Ruano Moreno, better known as the Moreno

twins, are sitting together with the Jensen brothers, Vidarand Orjan in the Jensens apartment. They hack in theresults of todays tests in their computers. Hard work ismade even harder at Pozo, with winds consistently 30knots plus and the shore break reaching mast high, itsone of the best places in the world to test small sails and

jumping qualities. The new VOODOO, INSTINCT andSUPERSTAR were on the test menu and everybodyknows how much Kai needs their feedback.

Back to Hookipa... In the meantime Micah and Nik wereon the water more than an hour. As if planned they meeton the beach after a big set to exchange first impres-sions. Improvements in handling, a little more luff tensionfor higher wind, the new setup seems to work pretty wellaltogether. After changing the rigs again they go onshooting through the waves to compare their gear.Radical bottom turns, a back loop from Nik as high as askyscraper, a goiter and a few tricks in the direction ofthe shore. They shout words of encouragement to eachother while managing their way through the white water.

harness technology

HARNESS TECHNOLOGY More comfort for the longand enjoyable rides: A good harness can turn a normalday into something special. It must be quick to put on,adjust to every bodyshape, and be easily tuned to yoursailing style and preferred hook position.When you are on the water you hardly feel it. An evenpressure distribution is absolutely guaranteed. Our harnessrange is developed with these guidelines. 8 differentmodels with the key features were designed, one foreach discipline. Most of the designs are completely new,with new reinforcment patches, strap positions and seampositions. The patented PRO.LIMIT hook will also proveitself. You will waste less time fiddling with your harnessso that you can get on the water sooner. All models giveyou a direct transfer of power, without getting in the wayof manoeuvres: long term fun is guaranteed.

NEW: the complete harness range is equipped with thePRO.LIMIT pin release hook.

Kai shows up around noon with foot-long sandwichesand some cokes from Subway. Kai is waiting for firstcomments while Nik and Micah start eating. They com-ment and discuss between tuna and chicken. Micah andNik describe exactly the advantages and disadvantagesof each concept and give constructive criticism to areasthat need improvement. Kai takes notes carefully. Straightafter leaving Hookipa Beach Park, Kai races back to thecomputer to figure out changes that need to be made onthe luff to increase the elasticity demanded by Micah andNik. A few days later the result is named: TRIAX.LUFF.On the same day an e-mail arrives at the loft. Sender:Daida Moreno, GC. Two days later 6 new prototypes areleaving the loft and the country straight to Pozo.

2 WEEKS LATER IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA...Everybody from the NORTH SAILS team meets in Perthto test this years wave range prototypes for finalapproval. Margaret River, Geraldton and Gnaraloo arenoted in the road book. In addition Kai as a local showsspots that were almost unexplored by surfers. Neverbefore have the conditions been better "down under.

Unbelievable breaks, deserted bays and action of thehighest level are documented by the pictures on the firstpages. A real paradise! Perfectly shaped sets, glitteringwhite caps: on a few days the point breaks are unbelie-vable, shaping unreal sets of waves, so clean and long,that even some team riders have to leave the water. Fullyexhausted they sit on the beach watching the scenewhile Kai is already approaching them with his notebookin hand.

STORIES LIKE THIS MAKE OUR HISTORY. It is aboutobsessed windsurfers for who only this one thing counts they have been at the most important spots all over theworld to give all they have. Ma ny years ago we found thePros at these places who were responsible for thedecisive steps in our development. We hand mouldedthem into the NORTH SAILS International Research &Development Team, detected their strengths, supportedthem and let them do what they wanted to do: even morewindsurfing. The result is a team that has learned to worksuccessfully and effectively together: on the water as wellas in the sail loft and in distribution. Beginning with the

product manager, the heads of the production, the saildesigners, the team riders and ending with the marke-ting. This hard core team has been working close tog-ether for 10 years now, a complete unique constellationwhich creates amazing synergy that is found nowhere inthe entire windsurfing industry. These unique bonds bet-ween many experienced professionals, together withthe team power, are the secrets for our superior productsand the key to success. We love doing all this for onereason: NORTH SAILS fans all over the world. May bewe will meet somewhere at your home spot soon...

INSTINCT For tough guys and girls, who demand themaximum from their material in the waves and throughthe chop, weve developed a very technical sail with aclassic-look to it, based on the legendary DR.X, but witheven more power. INSTINCT a completely new shapeand countless innovations make for the perfect com-bination between world cup-performance and durab ility!

The INSTINCT generates its power through the CROSS.BATTEN.CONSTRUCTION and the fine-tuned FLAIR.

TOP and gets its durability even in the harshest conditi-ons through the high content of TRIAX and XPly 725cloths. Our patented DURATECH.FOOT keeps the footand all seams in perfect shape forever.

TRIPLE XXXThe brand-new TRIPLE XXX is a real powermachine. Its a pack of dynamite which gets you throughthe white-water even on lousy onshore days, giving yourmanoeuvres massive power. On the other hand youll beamazed by the handling! The CROSS.BATTEN.CONSTRUCTION combined with our FLAIR.TOP and thenew TRIAX.LUFF.PANEL a very elastic construction isproduced, which powers you through lulls yet improveshandling and control. The fast response, the light-weight,and the performance during radical moves in both wavesand flat water conditions is guaranteed to fully convinceyou.

SUPERSTAR Lets face it: the name is offending. But notundeserving as the successor of the legendary DR.X. TheSUPERSTAR is our lightest and most radical worldcup-wave sail, which redefines optic and dynamic in thewaves. Sexy, wild and all set for winning. Technicalhighlights such as CROSS.BATTEN.CONSTRUCTION orthe refined FLAIR.TOP do confirm this demand and pro-duce good power. Compared to other stars the newSUPERSTAR is extremely easy to handle due to theshortest boom length of all NORTH SAILS. Not to forgetthat Daida Ruano Moreno became Wave WorldChampion using the SUPERSTAR.

VOODOO With this sail we have only one goal: bombproof. No wonder that the latest version still comes wit-hout any monofilm. Just the most durable materials andcloths are used. Whatever happens, the new VOODOOwill pop out of any wave in one piece; no matter howradical the conditions get. Last but not least, the whole

VOODOO range is designed to work on the 400/19mast: "One mast fits all!

CROSSFIRE Speed thrills still one of the biggestfascinations. To fly effortless with v-max over the waterour race team created the brand-new CROSSFIRE tog-ether with our designers a nocam racing machine. TheCROSSFIR E leads the fleet on all courses with effor-tless rotation and easy handling. F rom the start this 7batten racing machine accelerates very fast and the topspeed is frightening. The FLIP.ROTATING.SYSTEM thecontact-free batten transition has an extremely positiveeffect on jibing, water starting and ease of rigging. Samecounts for the top which became remarkably lighter dueto the DYNAMIC.TOP.BATTEN. Attention: for extremeupwind- and downwind courses the camber-supportedsails FORMULA WARP and MATCH RACE offer moreperformance.

DISCO Its show time! Cool moves, insane tricks and thefull attention of the public all inclusive with the newDISCO. Youll be the first to get planing, taking advantageof the perfect sail balance. Soon you will be performingmoves which you already started to give up learning.Due to the ultra-light DYNAMIC.TOP.BATTEN, the new

TRIAX.LUFF.PANEL and the legendary CROSS.BATTEN. TECHNOLOGY everything becomes so easy over anincredible wide wind range. Through a slightly wider mastsleeve the new DISCO makes you also look good duringdifficult stall tricks.

NATURALNo doubt, with the all-new NATURAL wind-surfing becomes easier, less complicated and the mate-rial choice will be a lot easier. The recipe: take a verybalanced shape, design the sizes up to 6.2 as Freemovesails (focus on handling and control) and the bigger sizesas Freeride sails (focus on planing and handling).Exchange the regular top batten into a DYNAMIC.TOP.BATTEN to reduce the top-weight, use more TRIAX-material for even improved durability and reduce the footroach in the small sizes to make them suitable even forsmall waves. The result is a perfect synthesis of speed,acceleration and handling or to make it short: the all-newNATURAL. All of a sudden you learn moves which younever dreamed possible and jibes become effortless.

DISCO COMP The non-compromising competition-version. You not only impress the bouncer but have theperfect toy to dance in the first row. Therefore ourdesigners have created the new STRAIGHT.FOOT.GEOMETRY, which completely eliminates the foot battenmaking duck-tricks childs play. With the limited use ofreinforcements, numerous improvement s and the eli-mination of the foot batten the DISCO COMP becamethe lightest freestyle sail on the market and instantlybecame the "King at the King of the Lake 2002!

Attention: the DISCO COMP is a pro-sail, which wants tobe sailed actively especially in the low end!

R-TYPE There was a time when windsurfing used tobe double the fun no, stop, we simply spent double thetime on the water! At that time it didnt matter very muchhow strong the wind was, just getting out with your fri-ends and having fun trying out new things was a blast nomatter what the wind was blowing. During the years weall got better, some even way better. This brought up theproblem that the conditions also had to get better: morewind, higher waves and more extreme moves.

Soon it seemed that without planing windsurfing wasnothing and the amount of active days went down anddown until one day the racing scene was forced (by thereduced wind limit) to develop shorter and wider boards.

These boards planed extremely easy and on top becamevery stable. The next step was to modify these boards sothat they could also be used by regular skilled guys. Thisis how the widebody-boards of today were generated.

They are short and wide, plane extremely easily, get veryfast, are easy to turn and are stable on the water.

FORMULA WARP Vice-world champion Micah Buzianisdeveloped a Formula dream machine together with ourdesigners and here it i s. The Formula-1 machine amongthe sails, derived directly from the World Cup. Followingthe new rules the design team fully concentrated on therelevant sizes necessary for winning; maximum low endpower to match the minimum wind limit, maximum speedon deep downwind courses and unbeatable upwind per-formance. Even completely overpowered the FORMULAWARP remains controllable due to 4 hollow BOX.BATTEN(2 out of Carbon!) and 4 cambers. An absolute specialistsail developed for high-end racer exclusively.

MATCH RACE The brand-new MATCH RACE is awinner in every aspect. Lightning-fast planing andmaximum acceleration catapult you immediately tov-max. Due to the deep profile the MATCH RACEplanes and accelerates better than the CROSSFIRE andwith just 2 cams and a shorter luff offers more comfortthan the FORMULA WARP. The adjusted leech areaoffers an even more controlled feeling and in combinationwith the 4 super-stiff BOX.BATTEN this leads to anunmatched high-end control. This very compact andspeed-oriented freerace sail with its light FLAIR.TOP andDYNAMIC.TOP.BATTEN fits to any "speed-addicted board.

They do have exactly what was missing for a long time:a board which you can use at any wind providing funeven when its light.

Why this history-breakdown? Well because as the firstmanufacturer weve developed a sail for this successfulboard class. A sail which is designed for planing- as wellas for light wind conditions and perfectly matches with allWidebodies. Its name: R-TYPE.

With the R-TYPE our designers have created a smoothdriving machine, which makes for unmatched low endperformance due to its low end profile and the FLAIR.TOPoutline. Keeping the weight low is an essential factor forthe use in light winds, the R-TYPE uses 6 ultralightbattens only (except 10.5), where 4 of which are ultrastiffBOX.BATTEN. To guarantee a 100% stable profile, whichin contrary to nocam sails shows a profile even withoutwind pressure, the legendary PRO.CAM II soft cambercomes back into use.

On the one hand the PRO.CAM II rotate so soft, that you

hardly can tell a difference compared to a noncamberedsail. On the other hand they produce a permanent andstable profile, which produces maximum low end andremains stable even without wind pressure. And for thehandling the PRO.CAM II is unbeatable.

With the new R-TYPE we bring back what many missedover the last years: windsurfing in its most uncomplicatedform, every day at any spot.

LIFETIME GUARANTEE FOR YOUR SAIL CONSTRUCTION.In response to wider and wider board designs: The sailfoot scrubs over the anti-slip more and more often and toa greater extent. The rough surface leads to wearingthrough the seams and material. Now thats enough ofthat! Our patented DURATECH.FOOT.TECHNOLGYensures that all sail foot seams dont come into contactwith the board anymore and consequently dont getdamaged. This guarantees a considerable higher life ofthe whole sail foot construction.

NORTH SAILS HAS OVER 35 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE in developing and producing pioneering profiles in sailsfor yachts and windsurfing boards, creating glory andhonour for the worlds most expensive and successfulboats. Consequently its no surprise that there are conti-nual new solutions and useful innovations when ourcompany is only focusing on these areas. In 2003 againthere are a row of unique technologies and details,making our sails a typical NORTH SAIL.

MAKES SPEED ORIENTED SAILS EVEN FASTER!Inspired by aircraft wings with an angle on the trailingedge, designer Larry Herbig identified the point where thetop of the sail reacts differently to angles of attack andwind gusts. He found he could increase the twistingsection (top) of the sail and not affect the power section(bottom). This enabled him to create sails with improvedtwist, more power and more control. This also enablesincreased leech tension, improving the low end power.Ergo: HYPER.LEECH = improved twist for more controland easier handling in gusts and when overpowered,earlier acceleration and increased performance for all

2003 sails.

OPTIMUM COMBINATION OF HANDLING AND

POWER! There is one thing everyone wants: to planeeven earlier! Normally achieved with deeper profileswhich have a negative effect on handling, our designerssolved this problem 2 years ago. They changed thebatten distances, the angles and the positions, so that inthe manoeuvre-oriented sails the centre of effort could bemoved down while at the same time supporting the bigarea around the boom. This batten configuration we callthe CROSS.BATTEN.CONCEPT. You will immediatelynotice it through the X formed by the boom and thebatten enabling remarkably more power and superior

control through a wide wind range.

EASY BATTEN ROTATION IS A SNAP! Everyone knowsit: the harder the batten snaps during rotation, the moreuncomfortable the handling is. Therefore all our nocamsails come with the FLIP.ROTATING.SYSTEM, eliminatingthe hated snap during rotation. This was made possiblethrough our CONSTANT.DRIVE.CONCEPT which pre-profiles our sails. So our sails always show profile evenwithout wind pressure enabling the battens to freely rotate behind the mast.

VERY STIFF, VERY LIGHT! Draft movement and bad rigcontrol are definitely avoidable. This is why we havedecided to use battens which are a class by themselves.

Their stiffness, the 30% decreased weight due to beinghollow, and the high breakage-strength make our BOX.BATTENS the best you can get. Plus the thin cross-section improves the aerodynamics compared to tubebattens. This is why BOX.BATTENS are extreme in everyway: extremely light, extremely stiff, extremely draft stab-le, extremely high-performing.

INDIVIDUAL BATTEN EQUIPMENT FOR MOREPOWER! No other manufacturer goes as into detail aswe do, especially in such important power factors like thebattens. And as each batten has a different function, weuse different types of battens in the particular battenpocket. In that way we reach following advantages:

1. Sail centre stays 100% draft stable2. Optimum top twist horizontally and vertically3. Significant reduced top weight and thereby noticeable

improved handling

PERFECT TRIM ENABLES A VERY WIDE RANGE OFUSE! Now its even faster and easier: 2 dots one view.

VTS acts like a turbo charger making for improvedperformance and an extended wind range. Just pull thedownhaul -according to the wind strength until theborderline of the loose leech in the top reaches the "minor "max mark off you go. Our patented VTS is thateasy to read and tune. NORTH SAILS offers you a largetrim range and with only one sail size you are able tocover a wide range of wind conditions.

NEVER AGAIN WILL YOUR HARNESS LINES BE INTHE WRONG POSITION! Stop getting hard forearmsand wasting time with trial and error to find the correctharness line position! The individually defined print on thesail shows exactly the right centre-position of your lines.Just position the ends symmetric to the print and the sailwill always be perfectly balanced. With HTS you dontonly save time but also lots of energy!

100% PROFILE ACCURACY! Optimum aerodynamicand absolute profile accuracy are core quality features forus 100% accuracy is demanded. This starts during thecutting, where we cut all panels with a laser. Next, thepanels are glued together fold free using profile ribs. OnlyNORTH SAILS uses this technology to keep tolerancesto the absolute minimum. Through this 3D.TECHNOLOGYa monocoque body is built up, which exactly correspondsto the final profile and enables problem-free sewing. Thisguarantees shape and performance for many years tocome.

EQUALIZES THE GUSTS! Considering the importanceof how important it is for a sail to remain controllable inextremely high wind conditions, our designers developedthe FLAIR.TOP. Through the unique construction with alightweight top batten, the top not only twists horizontallybut also vertically. So the FLAIR.TOP works like a valve.

According to the wind pressure the FLAIR.TOP eitherreleases power or transfers it into acceleration. Gusts areequalized perfectly. It doesnt matter how you rig yoursail. The FLAIR.TOP even works with less downhaul tension,when rigged at VTS-min for the best low end Power.

carbon wave

WAVE < > FREEMOVE The CARBON.WAVE is ex-clusively developed by full-on wave professionals. Aspecific bend curve, designed for the demands of wavesailing, guarantees the sailor will have both hands aneven distance from the center of the sail and provides abalanced rig when riding the waves. Because of the shortextension (35 cm), the thin tube diameter remainsunchanged all the way to the rear section of the boom,guaranteeing a solid grip in bottom turns. The slightlyrough surface of the end-piece gives you a firm grip inDuck Tacks and Duck Jibes. 100% carbon makes theCARBON.WAVE super stiff and so durable, that even the"juiciest waves wont destroy it.

carbon race

FREERIDE < > RACE World Cup standard and firstchoice for all performance oriented high end slalom andrace sailors. One of the stiffest booms in FULL.CARBON.CONSTRUCTION. Its maximum stiffness transferringevery pump motion directly into acceleration and allowingno profile distortion at all in the gusts. Each length has itsown bend characteristic, which is focused on use inWorld Cup racing. Of course the CARBON.RACE stillincludes the NORTH SAILS ease of use features.

WAVE < > FREERACE Thanks to the bolted-on frontend and the one piece rear end, this even stiffer versionof the PRO.GRESSION delivers power directly withoutcollapsing even one millimetre (boom can not be takenapart). It also has thin RDM tubes with oval SQUASH.GRIP sections which give a comfortable grip withoutaffecting the durability and stiffness. The range consists of5 different boom lengths. The PRO.GRESSION COMPmakes a perfect boom for all sail types from wave tofreerace.

WAVE < > FREERIDE The PRO.GRESSION can betaken apart in seconds and allows you to use differenttube sizes. Each length has an individual bend curve, sothe PRO.GRESSION fits all sail types. The waterproofSNAP.LOCK IV secures the boom length and preventsthe tubes from twisting. More advantages are the reliablePRO.GRESSION II front end, combining maximumdurability with safety and high comfort and the thin RDMtubes with the oval SQUASH.GRIP sections and acomfortable grip.

carbon freestyle

WAVE, FREESTYLE Super nice high performance boomin FULL.CARBON.CONSTRUCTION, which meets thedemands of our freestyle team in every respect. Maximumstiffness guarantees pure performance and keeps thecenter of effort stable. The low weight doesnt suck either.

The non-skid rear-end provides grip for Duck Tacks andDuck Jibes. One size covers all freestyle/freemove sailsizes (3.8 to 6.9).

carbon formula

FORMULA RACE The sensational new development,the choice for Formula sails. The exclusive use of highquality carbon and our patented EGG.SHAPE provideanother 20% advantage in stiffness. Now each pumpmotion is transferred even more directly into accelerationand all profile distortions are eliminated. Two differentsizes are available covering all Formula sail sizes. Thebend curves are individually adjusted by our World Cuprace team.
