NORTH SAILS 2006 - TEAM FORCE

While other manufacturers constantly reduce their number of sponsored riders, we build more than ever on a competitive team. This is not only true for our team of active riders but also for our developers and engineers. Their knowledge and experience form the basis of all new developments and technical innovations and therefore represent our greatest asset.

The new stars on our team reflect this commitment. Our latest member is nobody less than Björn Dunkerbeck, who sought cooperation with us on his own initiative. He contributes an extraordinary level of competence, particularly in the disciplines Slalom, Freeride and Speed. He will be working together with the internationally renowned developer Jimmy Diaz, who is returning to North Sails as chief tester after a five year break. Jimmy will be responsible for optimizing our products and taking new developments to series production.

Speaking of optimization: The Canaries are about to become the Mecca of windsurfing. Their central location, the proximity to all spots in and around Europe and the unique conditions that cover all aspects of the sport provide an ideal environment for developing products that perform extraordinarily well in all windsurfing locations on this planet. We therefore decided to locate our future NORTH SAILS research and test center on Gran Canaria. Even closer to our team and on the pulse of the sport.

A STITCH IN TIME

Our head designer Kai Hopf also moved to Gran Canaria. Kai is looking back on more than 13 years of experience at NORTH SAILS and has been responsible for our entire range of sails since the past season. The observations he gathers on GC on a daily basis are reflected in his new sails collection. Extreme wind speeds, rocky beaches and bays as well as brutal wipe-outs require particularly durable material. In response to these conditions, Kai crea- ted the new RIP.STOP.FRAME.DESIGN and DOUBLE.SEAM.TECHNOLOGY with a double zigzag stitch that dramatically increases tear strength.

ONLY HALF AS MANY MASTS

In order to avoid a battle of material we in- troduced the MINIMUM.MAST.CONCEPT last year. It reduces the number of required masts by 50%, helps you save money and makes it easier to transport your equip-ment. At the center of this development is the CARBON.XTENDER, an ultra light extension that allows you to increase the length of your mast by 50cm without compromising rigidity or performance. For 2006, we decided to get the maximum out of our MINIMUM.MAST.CONCEPT. Except for two sail lines you can now use all our sails with a single mast!

BJÖRN DUNKERBECK (E-11)the most successful windsurfer of all times ****************************************** Björn is already THE living windsurfing legend. At the ten-der age of nine he first stood on a board in Gran Canaria, at 13 he competed in his first race. Two years later he won second place in the Race World Cup in the Netherlands and fifth place in Wave. He completed his first tour at the age of 17 and at 18 he won the overall World Championship and took the title from the previously invincible Robby Naish. In 1997, he first took up the challenge of Jaws and until 1999 he defended his World Champion title no less than twelve times, which makes him the most successful windsurfer of all times. In the following years he achieved fantastic results in all wave events of the tour. His marriage to Maria in 2002 and the birth of his children Alba and Liam greatly enriched his life and turned the awe-inspiring terminator into a slightly more quiet but not less ambitious athlete without comparison. Apart from pursuing his personal goals (he wants to be the first to break the sonic wall of 50 knots) he is particularly dedicated to promoting the sport with all his heart. Björn believes that freeriding is the ultimate expression of every- thing that makes windsurfing so unique and fascinating – the straightforward mix of speed and maneuvers that pro-vides unlimited fun in all conditions.

KAI HOPFthe brain****************************************** Kai Hopf, responsible for NORTH SAILS entire sails collec- tion, is one of the world’s most influential designers. To-gether with our R&D team, the Australian born ex-World Cup competitor has created an extraordinary collection of sails that combines performance, handling and individual design in an impressive way. Kai, who also develops high performance fin profiles, still spends a lot of time on the water to gather his own impressions and experiences. His ability is illustrated by the fact that many World Champions rode to victory on his Wave sails and that even his very first race sail was a real winner – the WARP F2004 put Micah Buzianis in pole position and helped him win all World Champion titles (PWA Formula World Champion 2003 + Formula Windsurfing World Champion 2004).

Join the team in 2006 and enjoy the advantages of WINDSURF TECHNOLOGY.

It feels damn good to be able to rely on the most experienced and successful R&D team around. This team is the key to our success and the guarantee for high performance equipment. In fact, the top scores of World Cup rankings read like lists of our team riders. And this has remained unchanged for many years.

2006 TECH*FEATURES windsurf technology

06 07

01_ DOUBLE.SEAM.TECHNOLOGYtwice as durable,half as much stretch************************************NORTH SAILS stands for windsurf tech-nology and unsurpassed quality that increases the lifespan of your sail. Our new zigzag triple-stitch seams ensure unprecedented durability. And now we doubled that! We use our double seams around all areas particularly exposed to damage. This technology not only increa-ses tear strength but also reduces stretch by 50%, resulting in higher profile stability and performance. Our DOUBLE.SEAM.TECHNOLOGY therefore kills two birds with one stone and substantially increases your sail’s durability.

02_ RIPSTOP.FRAME.DESIGNlimits damage************************************It doesn’t always take huge waves to da-mage a sail. Sometimes you get flung off your board and the hook puts a hole into the profile. The hole itself is usually no problem but may become a risk if it widens on your way back to the beach or even causes the sail to rip across its entire surface. In the worst case your sail may be ripped in two pieces with no chance of repair. The RIPSTOP.FRAME.DESIGN uses reinforced fabrics around the entire sail to prevent exactly that. The clever combination of lightweight materials at the center and very resilient fabrics at the edges keeps overall weight very low.

04_ HYPER.CAM(R-Type, Daytona, Warp)soft rotation andoptimum rigging comfort************************************It is an undisputed fact that camber-induced profiles increase performance. This extra power so far came with the disadvantage of tedious rigging and hard beating bat-tens. The new HYPER.CAMS put an end to these drawbacks. The plastic buckle was eliminated and the camber now rests only on the rollers to reduce friction. The rollers have a new shape that permits sliding them up any mast (independent of its dia-meter) instead of snapping them on. This makes our new camber sails very easy to rig and ride and permit you to rediscover the fun of shooting across the water on a real racer.

03_ DURA.LUFF.PATCHextremely resilient luff panel ************************************The area around the boom cutout is parti-cularly exposed to wear and tear as the luff panel always gets wrinkled when the mast is inserted. This “accordion effect” can ulti-mately produce cracks in the monofilm. The new flexible DURA.LUFF.PATCH rein-forces the area around the boom, creates a smooth transition to the monofilm and prevents cracks in the film.

05_ TT.TOPenhanced sail control at higher wind speeds************************************Designer Kai Hopf derived the new TT.TOP directly from the F2004 World Champion sail. The unique concave shape creates a three-dimensional top twist. That means that in high wind conditions, the top not only twists horizontally but also vertically. Gusts are virtually neutralized and the rig remains stable in your hands.

MORE THAN 35 YEARS OF LEADING SAIL TECHNOLOGY

We are looking back on more that 35 years dedicated exclusively to research, development and pro-duction of high quality profiles and sails for yachts, windsurfers, and kiteboards. Our sails took athle-tes to victory in virtually every discipline and competition of the sport. Revolutionary approaches and technologies were and will always be key to our success. Here is an overview of current solutions and innovations that illustrate the extraordinary performance of NORTH SAILS.

06_ VTS-VISUAL.TRIM.SYSTEMperfect trim plus a huge range of application! ************************************Faster and more accurate tuning is simply impossible! Simply pull the luff until the mark “lower wind limit” or “upper wind limit” (according to wind speed) appears at the top of the loose leech. That’s all! The patented VTS® acts like a turbo loader and ensures maximum performance in a wide variety of conditions.

07_ UNIVERSAL.TACK.FITTINGminimal forces for perfect trim ************************************The integrated triple rollers significantly reduce trim forces on the luff panel. The brass rollers keep friction to a minimum. We use brass for its self-lubricating pro-perties that prevent seizing. The rolls are easily removed for using a pulley hook. Raceheads can even use high-end rolls with ball bearings.

2006 TECH*FEATURES

windsurf technology

08 09

17_ X.PLY 725excitingly beautiful and extremely durable ************************************The lighter version of the legendary NORTH SAILS TRIAX material. Extremely durable but significantly lighter than the original material.

09_ MAST.SLEEVE.OPENERfriction free insertion of themast into the mast pocket************************************A clever trick puts an end to tedious fumb- ling when inserting the mast. A rubber logo above the boom cutout opens the mast pocket and permits single hand insertion of the mast without the need to pull at the luff.

5.BATTEN.CONFIGURATION(Voodoo, Ice, Duke)better handling, total control ************************************Handling is the decisive criterion in Wave and Freestyle sailing. The lower the number of battens, the lighter the sail and the better the handling. Unfortunately, less battens also means less control, particularly in overpowered and gusty conditions. Our in-novative 5.BATTEN.CONFIGURATION pro- vides a solution to this problem by re-ducing weight without compromising stability. This is possible through the use of an elongated MINI.BATTEN at the top that absorbs as much stress as a regular batten and effectively stabilizes the profile. The result is top performance AND easy handling!

5 YEAR WARRANTYcertified quality************************************DOUBLE.SEAM.TECHNOLGY and RIPSTOP.FRAME.DESIGN are two integral parts of the unique NORTH SAILS quality. To prove this superior durability we grant a five year warranty on all our sails (except monofilm)!

13_ HYPER.LEECHmakes speed sails even faster! ************************************The design was inspired by airplane wings and features a bend along the trai-ling edge. This shape creates an exactly defined point at which the top responds with extreme sensitivity. The result is en-hanced loose leech twist for more control and better rig stability in gusts and over-powered situations.

16_ HTS-HARNESSLINE.TRIM.SYSTEM Never get the harness line position wrong!************************************No more tight forearms and fumbling around for the right harness line position! The print on the sail shows exactly where the center of the harness line must be located. Simply fit both ends symmetri-cally to the left and right of the print and off you go.

18_ 3D.TECHNOLOGY100% profile accuracy! ************************************Optimum aerodynamics and absolute profile accuracy through laser cut fabrics, completely wrinkle and bubble free lami-nation on three dimensional molds and zero manufacturing tolerance. The result is a monocoque body in exactly the same shape as the desired profile.

15_ INTELLIGENT.BATTEN.SYSTEM individual battens for increased performance! ************************************Since each batten fulfils a special func-tion we use different types of battens in the various batten pockets. This creates 100% stable pressure at the center of the sail, optimizes top twist (horizontally and vertically) and reduces head weight for easier handling.

08_ FLIP.ROTATING.SYSTEMno jerking, no hard rotation! ************************************Eliminates hard rotation and jerks. Battens rotate freely behind the mast.

14_ EASY.Tkeeps the sail rolled up************************************An ingeniously simple fastening system keeps the sail securely rolled up. Now with an additional size mark that allows you to identify the sail’s size without un-rolling it!

10_ MINI.BATTEN eliminate undesired leech flutter************************************These short and highly effective mini bat-tens support the area in between the long battens and eliminate undesired leech flutter.

12_ BOX.BATTENvery stiff, very light! ************************************No more shifting center of effort! Our BOX.BATTENs are ultra hard and unsurpassed with regards to bending stiffness and tor-sional rigidity. Their hollow construction reduces weight by 30% and their high breaking strength makes them one of the best products we have to offer.

11_ DURATECH.FOOTlong term warranty for the sail’s foot ************************************The sail’s foot is repeatedly dragged across the anti-skid, particularly in the case of wide boards. Our patented DURATECH.FOOT construction protects the seams in a wide plastic bar and pre-vents damage from the rough surface of the anti-skid.

KEY FEATURES: Active twist and enhanced control through TT.TOP***********************************************Enhanced aerodynamics AND easy water start due to CONICAL.AERO.SLEVE.DESIGN***********************************************HYPER.CAM - the first hard camber that rotates like a soft cam

The new DAYTONA is named after the famous race course and makes one thing perfectly clear - it‘s all about speed!

Our fastest Freerace sail was derived from the F2005 World Cup material and is surprisingly easy to handle for a weapon of its caliber. Three HYPER.CAMs keep the center of pressure absolutely stable and set new standards with regards to soft rotation and rigging comfort. Together with the easy twist TT.TOP, super stiff BOX.BATTENs and the conical AERO.SLEEVE mast pocket with its radical leading edge design, the DAYTONA reaches top speeds on all race courses and catapults you on the winner’s podium. (Avail-able September 2005)

KEY FEATURES: Active twist and enhanced control through TT.TOP***********************************************DURA.LUFF.PATCH avoids damage to the luff panel from rigging***********************************************Increased durability through solid X.PLY foot construction***********************************************One mast (460-25) is sufficient for all sail sizes

The 2006 CROSSRIDE combines sensational speeds with the advantages of nocam sails, parti-cularly their easy handling and rigging.

The CROSSRIDE derives its strengths from improved twist of the TT.TOP and a far forward draft position. This sta-bilizes the rig, contributes substantially to draft stability and increases the wind range. Our SuperCross team just loves the CROSSRIDE’s balanced performance that provides lots of power, yet allows the rider to fully concentrate on the obstacles of the race course. By the way, all CROSSRIDE now fit a single 460-25 mast - one mast fits all! (Available September 2005)

KEY FEATURES: New: one mast fits all!***********************************************DURA.LUFF.PATCH avoids damage to the luff panel from rigging***********************************************HYPER.CAM - the first hard camber that rotateslike a soft cam***********************************************Increased durability due to solid X.PLY foot construction

The new R-TYPE was also designed for freeride and widebody boards to cover a wide wind range.

Its low end profile and improved twist dynamics provide extreme acceleration from low speeds, very early planing and effortless gliding through wind holes. These properties make the R-TYPE the perfect choice on days with margi-nal planing conditions. Unlike nocam sails, the super soft rotating HYPER.CAMS keep up a solid profile even without sufficient wind pressure and substantially enhance stability. At the same time, the two cambers push the upper limit of the wind range almost into infinity. To keep the weight as low as possible, we use only six ultra light battens, four of which are extremely stiff BOX.BATTENS. (Available Sep-tember 2005)

KEY FEATURES: Minimum weight for super easy handling through RIPSTOP.FRAME.DESIGN***********************************************DOUBLE.SEAM.TECHNOLOGY for maximum durability***********************************************One mast fits all – one mast (430-21) is sufficient for all DRIVE LIGHT and all DRIVE SUPERLIGHT (360-14) sails

DRIVE LIGHT and SUPERLIGHT are two ultra light freeride sails with a wide range of application that boost your ability and help you learn to steadily progress.

The clever combination of materials and the new RIPSTOP.FRAME.DESIGN permit the use of extralight monofilm without compromising durability. The resulting weight re- duction is substantial and particularly women and juniors love the easy handling of these sails.

KEY FEATURES: More active twist and better control through TT.TOP***********************************************DURA.LUFF.PATCH avoids damage to the luff panel from rigging***********************************************Easy tuning with the integrated triple roller block (UNIVERSAL.TACK.FITTING)

The 2006 NATURAL has been completely redesigned. Apart from easy handling, its very balanced design focuses on draft stability (Freemove) up to 6.2m2, and on early planing (Freeride) in the larger sizes.

Both versions offer fantastic control, a high level of comfort and excellent planing power. Kai Hopf took a lot of inspiration from the DUKE without loosing top speed. All NATURALs are therefore the perfect synthesis of speed, acceleration and easy handling. This makes windsurfing simply less complicated and for many riders it means no more worries about the right material.

KEY FEATURES: More active twist and better control through TT.TOP***********************************************DURA.LUFF.PATCH avoids damage to the luff panel from rigging***********************************************Better handling and lower weight (5 instead of 6 battens)***********************************************One mast (430-21) is sufficient for all sail sizes

The brand-new DUKE is the perfect choice for a wide range of application, from Wave to Flatwater Freestyle.

It offers lots of power, direct response and great versatility. Fast acceleration and constant drive provide the necessary speed in difficult onshore conditions and for speed tricks. Five battens and the active TT.TOP enhance control and sensitive response and make the DUKE very neutral on the wave as well as in difficult freestyle moves. Sensational: all DUKES can now be used with a single mast (430-21)!

Kai Hopf did it again! The ICE is the brand new, weight-optimized version of our team‘s World Cup sail.

This is a radical five batten wave sail for cold-blooded experts – extremely aggressive, with very direct response and incredible handling, particularly on waves. Once again, the TT.TOP provides more twist and better control. Since the ICE was designed for all World Cup competitions it works just as well in Hookipa as in Sylt, Gran Canaria or in your favorite spot. Another advantage: all ICE sizes can now be used with a single mast (400-19)!

KEY FEATURES:

Low weight AND maximum durability due to RIPSTOP.FRAME.DESIGN and DOUBLE.SEAM.TECHNOLOGY***********************************************vinyl window for elastic feeling and extra stability***********************************************One mast (400-19) is sufficient for all sail sizes***********************************************Five years warranty

Yes, they do exist: monofilm-free wave classics that survive all kinds of conditions and simply last forever.

The new VOODOO has only five battens and an extremely high content of different X.PLY fabrics. The intelligent use of materials and an optimized shape ensure relaxed handling and fast response. Nevertheless, the VOODOO is as robust as ever and survives even killer conditions. Its slightly elastic vinyl window also make it a perfect choice for extre-mely high gusty winds. And our “one mast fits all” (400-19) concept permits you to use the entire sail collection with a single mast!

The new RED booms with their thin, high grip SQUASH.GRIP are true allrounders. The new PRO.GRESSION III head provides high rigidity and maximum durability. The DOUBLE.PIN.LOCK system adds comfort and safety. It keeps the boom firmly locked and pre-vents twisting of the tubes. Each length of the RED series has an individual bending curve for a perfect match with all sail types.

New: BEST.FIT.SYSTEM color guide system that allows you to select matching com-ponents at a glance for perfectly tuned equipment

Although all NORTH SAILS components can be used with various types of sails, we provide clear recommendations for optimum combinations. Furthermore, it makes sense to use a certain boom with a matching mast. To help you get the most out of your material we combined compatib-le products in the product lines RED, SILVER, GOLD and PLATINUM. This system helps you identify optimum pro-duct combinations with regards to performance and price range. All that’s left to you is to decide how much perfor-mance you need or how much you want to invest in this performance. Or to put it differently, the more you spend, the lighter, more dynamic and powerful your rig will be.

Unmatched performance, safety and comfort have made NORTH SAILS booms and accessories the most widely sold worldwide. For 2006 we have not only completely restructured our product range but also introduce the new PRO.GRESSION III front-end as well as the new PLATINUM series for specialists with two separate heads and different rear-ends for the various lengths and applications.

For our RED, SILVER and GOLD booms we use only welded, high-density AW5 aluminum-magnesium tubes. This material is significantly stronger (H195) than that of seamless tubes of other manufacturers which require a softer raw material that is later hardened. This hardening process makes the material brittle and prone to breakage.

01_ PRO.GRESSION IIIThe next step of evolution: ergonomic design, a new lever for higher locking pressure and absolutely slip-free fit, and a rein-forced construction for enhanced torsional rigidity.

02_ DOUBLE.PIN.SYSTEMNew: all booms are now equipped with the DOUBLE.PIN.LOCK system (previously mono pin). The double pin system distributes loads over an area twice as large and avoids twist-ing or breakage even under extreme conditions.

The completely new GOLD booms are high-grade versions of the SILVER models made of composite material for higher stiffness. While the front-piece is identical, the GOLD series has a carbon rear-piece. In this new, three-part construction the rear-end overlaps the vario tubes for higher bending stiffness. The DOUBLE.PIN.LOCK additionally enhances these properties. The thin, oval SQUASH.GRIP tubes with soft, high-grip coating provide extra comfort and put an end to tight forearms. All in all a very stiff, high performance boom for demanding riders.

Tubes and head of the SILVER booms are “cold welded“ with a special glue developed by the aerospace industry. This new manuf-acturing process provides the rigidity and strength of a single piece boom (cannot be disassembled). The BONDED.TECHNOLOGY not only keeps the weight very low, it also ensures direct power transfer without any play due to the PRO.GRESSION III front-piece and the continuous rear. The new SILVER also feature thin RDM tubes with oval SQUASH.GRIP for a good grip and high comfort. Five different boom lengths are available, each with a specific fine-tuned bending curve. The SILVER booms are therefore suitable for all sail types from Wave to Freerace.

For absolute specialists and pros we have introduced the brand new PLATINUM series. The uncompromising carbon construction leaves nothing to be desired with regards to weight and stiffness. Furthermore, we have developed different concepts for the shorter Wave to Freeride oriented booms on one hand and for the longer Slalom and Formula models on the other. This means that appli-cation-specific parts are used for optimum compatibility with the intended use.

New: BEST.FIT.SYSTEM color guide system that allows you to select matching components at a glance for perfectly tuned equipment.

Although all NORTH SAILS components can be used with various types of sails we provide clear recommendations for optimum combinations. Furthermore, it makes sense to use a certain boom with a matching mast. To help you get the most out of your material we combined compatible products in the product lines RED, SILVER, GOLD and PLATINUM. This system helps you identify optimum product combinations with regards to performance and price range. All that’s left to you is to decide how much performance you need or how much you want to invest in this performance. Or to put it differently, the more you spend the lighter, more dynamic and powerful your rig will be.

For 2006, we offer a completely new, stream-lined range of masts produced in the two most successful technologies we have developed at NORTH SAILS. Our mast program uses the same categories as our boom range for easy identifica-tion of matching components. And once again, the intended use and the amount of money you want to invest are the decisive criteria in choosing your mast. The more you invest the more performance you get and the easier the handling will be.

DROP.SHAPEFor more drive, explosive dynamics and more comfortable handling our engineers developed the DROP.SHAPE. The unique mast geometry with double tapered construction and reduced diameter creates a clearly more harmonious ben-ding curve, perceptibly higher draft stability and optimum twist. This means that DROP.SHAPE masts make better use of wind pressure and ensure 100% power transfer over the entire wind range.

CARBON.CROSS.WINDING.TECHNOLOGY(RED and SILVER)The unique CARBON.CROSS.WINDING.TECHNOLOGY in-terweaves individual filaments in a complex pattern. This process creates a high strength, three dimensional fabric that can be individually fine tuned over its entire length. The balanced ratio of glass and carbon fibers creates very balanced dynamics and extraordinary durability.

AEROSPACE.PREPREG.TECHNOLOGY (GOLD and PLATINUM)The ultimate manufacturing technology. The use of 100% pure carbon, computer controlled manufacturing and extremely high pressure (up to ten tons!) permit us to create mast like the VIPER AERO, the lightest mast in the world!

CARBON.XTENDERFits our entire mast range, weight approx. Weight: 300g.

PLATINUM.XTENDERHigh End XTENDER based on the PLATINUM series, also fits all masts. Approximate weight is as low as 150g!

PLATINUM RDM SERIESThe PLATINUM RDM is the first truly functional needle mast. The difference is in the new conical shape of the top. Our tests revealed that cylindrical needle tops perform poorer than ordinary „thick“ masts since the top‘s construction does not permit proper function. With the new PLATINUM RDM however, the rig does not only benefit from the lower diameter’s superior aerodynamics but also takes advantage of the needle shape’s increased dynamics. Another advantage: due to its conical shape, the needle top can now be stowed in the base for transport.

RED is the new NORTH SAILS mast line that offers excellent value for money. RED masts are produced in CARBON.CROSS.WINDING technology that combines individual filaments in a very dense fabric. A carbon content of 35% creates balanced dynamics and excellent durability. This makes our RED product line compatible with almost any sail of all brands and truly versatile.

Go for gold with the new GOLD series. A carbon content of 75%, high-tech prepreg molding and excellent dynamics put our GOLD products in the pole position of the medium segment, with great performance and low weight for a reasonable price. A top quality mast for all applications.

High quality allrounders with approximately 55% carbon content, modern shape and striking overall performance. All SILVER masts are manufactured in CARBON.CROSS.WINDING technology from a computer controlled mix of carbon, glass fiber and resin. A heat sensitive compression tape eliminates excess resin and keeps the weight to a minimum.

The PLATINUM series comprises two different types of masts: the Wave and Freestyle oriented line ranging from 370 to 430cm and the Race oriented models with lengths above 460cm. Both types are manufactured in the Aero-space-Prepreg-Autoclave process that creates an extremely homogenous carbon and resin mix at a pressure of up to ten tons. At the same time, resin content is reduced to an absolute minimum for unprecedented durability.

ADVANTAGES POWER.XT/XTR/XT.NEEDLE: faster setup – insert downhaul line, tighten, pull ratchet, ready!***************************************************significantly less effort (power ratio approx. 1/30)***************************************************increase OR decrease luff tension in small steps for perfect fin tuning***************************************************no need to sit down at the mastfoot, no risk to damage to your wetsuit, no slipping***************************************************no need for downhaul tools (trim handles or trim hooks)***************************************************fine tuning as required according to wind speed is now even possible on the water***************************************************increased safety***************************************************easy identification of the optimum trim point***************************************************entirely new possibilities, e.g. gliding through the wind shadow in the surf zone with low luff tension but maximum planing power and then fine tuning with two quick ratchet moves***************************************************sailing performance and wind range can be fully exploited

POWER.XTR EXTENSION*********************************************** The logical consequence for all racers, based on the POWER.XT. An extra roll further increases leverage (power ratio 1/60) and allows you to trim even 12m2 sails one-handed and with ease.

PINLOCK.XT EXTENSION*********************************************** The completely new PINLOCK.XT is identical to the POWER.XT except for its lever mechanism. The friction free and easy to use pulley setup simplifies trimming and gets you faster on the water.

POWER.XT EXTENSION*********************************************** The new NORTH SAILS POWER.XT works with all sails of all brands and revolutionizes rigging and fine tuning.

NEEDLE CARBON EXTENSIONS*********************************************** To combine NORTH SAILS know how with ultimate techno-logies and materials, the revolutionary POWER.XT is now even available as a skinny version in carbon fitting RDM® masts.

Just like the quick release boom, the POWER.XT is here to change windsurfing forever. Super fast, super simple and without effort it activates 100% sailing power. Without a downhaul tool, without accessories. With the POWER.XT, even kids are able to handle the brutal forces of modern slalom sails. It works on land and even on the water when the rig is attached to the board. The POWER.XT permits high precision tuning of any profile in just a few seconds.

NORTH SAILS tuning parts for a perfect rig. Unbeatable with regards to functionality, durability and comfort. Of course with the legendary NORTH SAILS warranty for long term compatibility.

THE AIRBAG-REVOLUTION

The decisive criterion for a good harness is and remains optimum fit. For direct and effortless power transfer a har-ness needs to fit like a second skin, wrinkle free and with even load distribution. The problem is that every body has a different shape. The new CONTOUR.AIRBAG now pro-vides a solution to this problem. All our AIR.HARNESSes are now available with integrated CONTOUR.AIRBAG. Its air chambers located in the area of the lumbar spine can be individually inflated and adapted for a perfect fit. The CON-TOUR.AIRBAG gently absorbs peak loads and distributes them evenly for unprecedented comfort.

All 2006 harnesses are also equipped with the new NORTH SAILS WUNDER.BAR. This newly developed harness hook has a closure and only needs to be adjusted once. The new „U-claw“ makes it much easier to get in and out of the harness and guarantees that the harness will not be uninten-tionally opened, even under extreme conditions.
