Mark Watson from  Southens, Essex, England shares his list:

1) Build quality – you know your Ezzy will last

2) The feel on the water

3) Bigger sails use my existing RDMs

4) Cammed sails come with cams for SDM and RDM, in case I ever change

5) Ezzy staff easily contactable

Thanks to Philip and Lisa for sharing!

1. The Durability

2. The locked in power of the Freeride

3. Positive “power on” feel of the Panther

4. The wind range

5. Dave Ezzy’s commitment to his product and to windsurfing

6. Never having to debate with other sailors why I sail Ezzy Sails, they know

7. Being part of a “cult” ( – :

Feel

The first thing I noticed about these sails was a softer, lighter feel than I had experienced before, along with amazing stability in the sail’s centre of effort. Instead of working away at a sail where the CoE is subtly changing, you have super-stable sail that feels very light in your hands. The soft, light feel seems to translate to the entire setup. There is more time to react to gusts, and an enhanced feeling of security on the water. Once I had experienced it I wanted that relaxed feeling all the time.

Masts

The sails combine beautifully with the Ezzy masts to make a harmonious rig. Like the sails, the masts seem to be produced to very high quality and feel reliable and dependable because of that. They have an awesome reputation for durability. The ease of handling was a revelation when I tried them after years on SDMs. Gybing, jumping, waterstarts, even carrying the gear around on the beach, are all easier.

Versatility

I use my Wave Panthers for bump and jump freeriding in really rough conditions. There is no down-the-line wave-sailing where I live, just big onshore swells and chop; yet the sails suit my spot perfectly with plenty of low down grunt when it gets light, great handling and gybing characteristics, and the ability to help iron out the bumps. I also love the way these sails gybe. Adjusting the outhaul to suit the conditions can really turbo charge your sail when the wind drops and steady it down when the wind switches on again.

Customer Service

In my experience this has been second to none. The Ezzy team absolutely stands 100% behind their products and the people that buy them. It genuinely is a great feeling, and unlike any customer experience I have encountered before.

Ezzy Production Practices

This last point may be the most important. How can we enjoy our wonderful first-world sport if the craftspeople making the products are hard done by? In my opinion the Ezzy team is doing things the right way in Sri Lanka, crafting great products and supporting the aspirations of their employees and local community. The Ezzy Foundation is an impressive initiative I am more that happy to support through my sail purchases, and I really hope they persist with it.

1.SPEED! 06 model 7.5 infinity (JP121 Slalom) 31.84 kn open water 26kn wind speed, o8 5.8 Panther (Angulo SuperGu 102) 38.88kn open water 35kn wind speed (gt31)

2. Wind Range! Just about guarantees you the sail size you pick for the day will work well.

3. Durability! Best built sails on the market bar none. Heading into my 31st windsurfing year (12 years on Ezzys) I’ve seen a few come and go.

4. RDM Perfection! Set perfectly on Skinny super durable masts. Speeds listed above achieved on 8 year old Ezzy RDM’s

5. NOT MADE BY CHINESE SLAVE LABOUR

In any given order:

1. Low end wind range without losing on the high end

2. Weight

3. PVC window, no peering around to mast to see where you are going and going blind up to the lip

4. durability

5. The way all the details have been done, the exchangable variotop and pulley, the endobattens, the mast protector.

6. customer support

7. The sails practically sell themselves, all advantages are easy to point out and even more so after a demo.

8. Quality control. A neighbouring shop had a delivery of sails of another brand with an obvious profile error once rigged…….

9. The lack of marketing lead sail optics which usually have a negativ effect on the performance and quality.

1) The sails have a lot of power but feel really light in the hands, so when I ride a wave, I don’t ever have to think about my sail.

2) The twist in the top of the sails gives more forgiveness for landing jumps like backloops.

3) The color combinations on the Panther Ltd are the best I’ve ever seen.

4) The sails are so strong that I know that I can take just one sail of each size on a trip to a powerful wave without fearing that it will break.

5) They have a great name!

Who doesn’t like a 6.9? Focus. People. I’m talking about a 6.9 meter Ezzy Panther Wave sail (2011). I’m sailing on Maui and use a 6.9 m sail most of the time. I’m 240 lbs. (most definitely not all muscle) and 60+ in years. I use a 9 ft. Retro board. -This sail is just fun to sail. -The new cut and lighter weight make the sail feel like a 5.5 but you have incredible range. -I sail it from 14-28 knots comfortably. -It is stable and easy to handle for someone over 6 ft. -So my question is “Why don’t I see more of you out there with an Ezzy 6.9?”

Rick Collins, who sails Ottawa, ON and Outer Banks, NC had this to say:

“1.  Smiles it puts on the kids.

2.  Simplicity.

3.  Gear that fits the kids perfectly, with the design elements of adult gear.

4.  1.0-1.5 kids rig allows a 6-year-old to say “Daddy, I need to rig down today. It is blowing out there” (The other adults were planing, so the little ones wanted the smaller sail.)

5.  My 6 year-old can almost rig it on his own! “
