3Di Molded Technology
3Di Molding provides unlimited precision in sail making, an unmatched process in the world of windsurfing. When combined with windsurfing's only simulation software, you hold today's best sail making technology in your hands.Design Profile
Wave specific outline, profile, and batten geometry to give a performance-oriented wave sail that is very active, agile, and playful in the surf. A slightly deeper profile in the front of the sail, combined with more release at the leech, improves the sails forward drive and top-end handling.3Di Dyneema Aramid Tape Material with a Carbon Helix SL load path
The best sails are made with a carefully engineered blend of the best performing materials. That’s why 3Di sails are composed of Dyneema Aramid. It translates the wind instantly into forward drive at the flick of your wrist. The carbon fiber Helix SL load path inside the sail, running from tack to head, gives the sail a more lively pop in the hands.Integrated Material Reinforcements
Precision use of the right quantity of materials, placed in the right orientation, results in a sail that is significantly lighter stronger than any other windsurf sail. Light, yet super strong.Integrated Batten Pockets with double tunnel
A 100% seamless and continuous fiber layout, fully integrated tunnel with space for the battens, is now reinforced for with a double tunnel so that your sail and battens will withstand the hardest beatings. Complex material technology with a smart result.Rock-it Batten Tensioner
No tool batten adjustment, at the water's edge. Simply unlock, open, adjust, close, lock, and off you go.EZ Clew
With the EZ Clew it doesn't matter if you ride waves or race. It is compatible with your sails loop-loop-go system or your more conventional thread through outhauls. No matter the boom, the rigging is always perfect.EZ Downhaul Wave
Tack pulley with simple loop-loop-go system. When combined with the low downhaul tension of the sail rigging will be a breeze. A new and improved tack fairing allows for easier access to the sail's pulleys.3Di Molded Technology
Molding the sails in 3D determines the shape. This means we can add unlimited shaping or twist in the sails without being limited to batten position. 3Di skins can transition seamlessly from thicker parts, to hold tension and resist impact, to other areas in the sails which are thinner, lighter, and softer. 3Di Molding provides unlimited precision in sail making, unmatched in the world of windsurfing.
Design Profile
A relatively compact outline, with a slightly reduced luff length, for low swing weight in maneuvers. The profile of the Wave is slightly forward-oriented, subtle enough for the sail to power up easily, but remains active, agile, and playful. A slightly deeper profile in the front of the sail, combined with more release at the leech, improves the sails forward drive and top-end handling. More forward drive allows you to both draw out solid front foot carves in the bottom turns, and transition off the top back forward into the wave's critical section. The sail has improved upper wind range and stability, with a reliable and predictable back hand pressure without getting too phsyical in the upper end. This control allows the rider to focus on their manoeuvers, pushing them to extremes. 3 battens in 4.7 and smaller, 4 battens in 5.2 to 5.6.
3Di Dyneema Aramid Tape Material with a Carbon Helix SL load path
The best sails are made with a carefully engineered blend of the best performing materials. That’s why 3Di sails are composed of Dyneema Aramid. Dyneema is up to 15 times more resistant than steel. It has very high energy absorption and very low stretch. It is extremely resistant to abrasion, humidity, and UV. Aramid is what holds all the Dyneema fibers together. The end result is a composite sail that can be 3D precision molded from 1 piece without a monofilm*. It's very strong and has a very direct feel. The carbon fiber Helix SL load path inside the sail, running from tack to head, gives the sail a more lively pop in the hands. It translates the wind instantly into forward drive at the flick of your wrist. (*except the window).
Integrated Material Reinforcements
3Di's composite materials are layered onto the sail in tapes that are crosslinked and thermoformed together into a 1 piece composite sail. These tapes are both positioned in any orientation that you need and layered into reinforced loads where required. This is done with no panels and no stitching. At the end of the day, the sail transitions seamlessly at microscopic levels. From a strong sail in the high-wear lower foot and clew areas to a light upper sail where the sail needs to breathe and twist. Precision use of the right quantity of materials in the right orientation results in a sail that is significantly lighter and stronger than any other windsurf sail.
Integrated Batten Pockets with double tunnel
In between the sail's layers, we use a special material, machine laid, to create the batten pocket. This is now reinforced with an extra overlap of 3Di from both sides of the sail, creating a 'double tunnel' around the batten. No seams, no panels to join, no stitching. The material bonds to the Dyneema Aramid fibers but doesn't bond to itself. This leaves the sail with a 100% seamless and continuous fiber layout, a fully integrated reinforced tunnel for the battens, allowing your sail and it's battens to withstand the hardest beatings. Complex material technology with a smart result.

Riders review
“Improved stability in this new sail allows me to focus more on my manoeuvres and less on the sail, enabling me to push my limits further.”
