DESIGN BRIEF: Create a range of modern, high performance wave sails that are all engineered to set on a 400cm mast. The S-1 is the sharpest feeling wavesail in the SEVERNE range. It?s high skin tension and light physical weight produces an instantaneous and highly reactive feel. A true extension of the rider it is supremely balanced allowing for fast, accurate and precise adjustments to stance and rig position. In both experienced and inexperienced hands the S-1 offers a direct feel that not only allows you to have precise control in the most demanding situations, but also gives you feedback to help you identify riding mistakes. With a higher clew height, and more upright rake angles, the S-1 is geared around faster new school riding styles. It is the most dynamic, direct and light wavesail within the SEVERNE wave series.
