MANIC –

HARDCORE WAVE
The Manics inimitable combination of controllability, power and handling will fascinate you both when blasting down the line in side-off conditions and during onshore sessions in gusty winds and small waves.

Planing performance and responsive handling are guaranteed throughout the whole spectrum with the bigger sizes providing increased power in light winds and the small sizes maximizing control in stormy weather.

The newly introduced one-piece mast sleeve enhances the Manics lightness and optimizes stretch for a precise shape and flex characteristics.

Refined positioning of the four battens in all sizes leads to an advanced combination of profile stability and soft on-off handling during wave rides.

The new Manic feels more neutral than ever before, but still provides great power and control for wave windsurfing in all conditions.

KEY FEATURES –

> One piece mast sleeve – The one-piece mast sleeve makes the Manic lighter and improves stretch characteristics.

> Carbon radial load tapes – Carbon tapes spread from the clew across the center of the sail for a stable profile.

> Extra light and durable 2-ply – 1.75 mil 2-Ply in the center and 2.5 mil at the leech provide perfect combination of lightness and durability.

> 4 battens on all sizes – Lightness paired with profile stability in all sizes.

> Continuous luff panel – Two continuous luff panels ensure a strong and efficient load distribution

> Compact window design – A more compact sail window provides great visibility, while eliminating unnecessary seams and interferences with other materials.

> Integrated batten technology – All battens above the boom are integrated into the overlapping panels for maximized symmetry and stability.
