I always find it very difficult to really understand these kind of reviews of sails. Term like 'back hand pressure', 'forward drive', 'responsiveness' make sense at first glance but when you think about it are totally subjective and therefore meaningless if not placed against a reference. Also, with sail-development being so mature, any improvement on one property must surely demand a compromise of another property. This is not made clear in the video (nor is it in virtually any product-video of any windsurf-brand). I think an advertisement / product info video would be much more effective if the brand actually explains how his product works and how the changes have influenced this, positive and negative. I realize this means going into technical depth which may be hard to understand for a large part of the audience. But you can educate them. Now I usually feel treated like a fool by brands telling me meaningless fairytales.

Great sail - I drive it on German gusty quarry lakes in 6.6 and 7.9. Great handling, light and very stable at the pressure point. Just saying goodbye to my Neil Pryde camber sails - I should have done this sooner. I didn't think windsurfing would be so much easier and more fun without camber.

Looks like a great board. :) Second half of the video seemed a bit dark...?

Amazing sail , I weighed 70kg I had a 7.1 and the wind range was crazy

You Did a great job. Can you make the same with a actual vmax. Is a sx6 SDM possible for the 7.9. The battens turning very Hard. I Trust in you

I use similar settings as demonstrated here when slightly under powered to well powered wind conditions. But when slightly overpowered, I struggle getting the right settings. Would you add downhaul, outhaul, both?
@simmerstylewindsurfing7 ай бұрын
Hi @tbrunel, I would suggest to start by adding some outline to flatten out the sail, but not too much, around 1-2 cm. Too much outhaul will make the sail unstable. If you are still overpowered, add another CM on the downhaul. Note that if you apply more downhaul, you will also need to add more outhaul to achieve the same sail profile. Good luck ! / Peter

I love it! What a great signing for Simmer. This guy is incredibly good and so nice and relatable out of the water.

Bonjour 😃 Superb images and what a mastery of Marc in the waves ... The last loop is fantastic 🔥🔥😍💙 Well, now it's time to choose, hmmm a new Evoq or a Icon Legay? A carbon wish or two? We're going to treat ourselves... Even if I (Dejan) will never have the level of a Marc, Kai, Ben or Alessio, the main thing is to enjoy riding with top gear for maximum pleasure 😉 Aloha from Swiss Alps 😎🤙🏼

Have been sailing Icon for years now ... I tend also to look at the placement of the batten end on the mast ... If my lower batten is about on the middle of the mast I know I am close to the right amount of downhaul . Greate job on the video !
