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. we initially brought the Freewave out last season.

Why don't you use the same materials for the Freewave you use for the panther2?<br><br>see you<br>Malte 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

Great to hear from you.<br>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.<br><br>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.<br>I hope this helps! Let me know if you have further questions.<br>Regards,<br>Tim thanks for the email Malte. Great to hear from you.

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.
