Note on Masts:
Ezzy Sails work great with the Ezzy Mast system, but also work with a variety of other brand masts (RDM and regular diameter).  You could contact your mast maker and see if the bend of your non-Ezzy mast is compliant.

Ezzy mast bend curves are tip: 75% to 79% and base: 62% to 65%

Note: this is not carbon content. This is percentage bend relative to the midpoint bend.

Ezzy Freewave: a new light-weight wave sail with a flatter profile.

Suited for all levels of windsurfers, especially freestylers and sailors who prefer a flatter shape. The Freewave’s effortless rotation makes it excel in jibes and transitions. The Freewave contains no monofilm. The main panels are made of our ultra strong Spectra X-film which provides strength and great visibility throughout the body of the sail. The tack panel utilizes our higher density Spectra X-film in the foot area to resist harness hook tears and nose-of-the board punctures.

Other key features include:

  • A removable downhaul pulley
  • Weft reinforced sleeve cloth
  • Flipup mast pad
  • RBS battens and a vinyl window that won’t scratch.

The Freewave also features our new downhaul and outhaul rigging indicators that give you the correct settings for light, medium and strong wind conditions.

Every Freewave is rigged in our factory. We tune the battens, set the adjustable top to the correct mast length and go over every inch of the sail to make sure it is perfect. That means when you get to the beach you and your Freewave will be ready to go.

Testimonials

Freewave Testimonials:

After using the new Ezzy Freewaves in 5.8 and 5.2 quite a bit whilst out coaching in Rhodes and enjoying them so much i was itching to get out on the 6.3 which was back in the UK. The 6.3 had the same attributes as the other freewaves – smooth power delivery, very stable, light in the hands and an excellent tuning range. The fact that the sail has less shape than the 08 wave SE and 09 wave panther meant it was very easy for freestyle and for flipping in gybes. With the boom length coming down in both the freewave and the wave panther in the bigger sizes (6.3 to 5.2) they feel really throwabout.

  • Hi,
    I really like the EzzySails for surfing, because i can use them for freestyle and for wavesailing and i don't have to worry about my sail. At the moment i'm riding the Wavepanthe (II), and i love them because going switch is much easier even in choppy water because of the controll when gusts fall into the sail.
    But maybe i want to use the Freewaves because i do more freestyle and want a sail that is more neutral during the ducking for manoevers like funnel, kono, etc..
    Because of that i have a few questions. why dont you use the same materials for the freewave you used for the wavepanther II?
    And is it possible to take away a bit of the profile that is shaped into the sails by the battens and therefore use more profile that is pulled into the sail by the wind? Because when i duck the sail i want as less profile as possible.

    Here in germany there were more ezzys on the water than the last years and i think that a lot of young freestylers would like to use those if they were even more easier to duck, because those maneuvers are getting more an more important in freestyle at the moment.

    I hope you understood what i wrote and can answer my questions.

    thanks for the email Malte. Great to hear from you.
    Regarding material differences, the Panther 2 has two material improvements over the Freewave. The Panther uses Technora and Trilite, which both have some substantial benefits. These materials make the head of the Panther lighter and benefit the UV longevity of the sail. The other major difference is that these materials help to make the Panther 2 feel the way it feels on the water.

    I believe the Panther 2 is a better choice for you than the Freewave. The Freewave does have a bit less batten profile which might be attractive for Freestyling, but I believe once you get used to the Panther2's lighter weight and take advantage of the full tuning range of the sail...it is superior than the Freewave.
    I hope this helps! Let me know if you have further questions.
    Regards,
    Tim
  • Hi,
    thanks for your answer :)
    But why do you have the freewave if the panther2 is better? Why don't you use the same materials for the Freewave you use for the panther2?

    see you

    we initially brought the Freewave out last season. We had some feedback from testers that wanted our '07 wave sail to be flatter for Freestyle. The Freewave is in our line up for '10, but the only real advantage to it is that it is slightly shallower. I believe for '11 we will not include it in our line because I believe the Panther offers advantages over the Freewave.
