We have a new light air sail called the "Zephyr"
and it comes in one size, a 7.5.
The new light-weight Zephyr is designed for freeride boards, long boards and
stand-up paddle boards. It is excels in light air, pre-planing conditions, as
well as high wind, planing conditions.
The Zephyr contains no monofilm and is made with the same super strong Spectra-X
film that is used in our Wave, Freeride, and Infinity sails. The Zephyr has no
cams, but because of it's deep, draft forward profile, it pulls like a cambered
sail. The Zephyr also has clearly marked downhaul and outhaul indicators that
makes tuning it a snap.
The Zephyr is in stock.
Customer Testimonials:
"Hi David,
I sailed the Zephyr in light wind, it was NE 6-7 mph when I first
went out,was not planning, but not slow either. It picked up to 11-12,and I was
planning. Without a doubt the Zephyr has as much low end power as an 8.5. It was
easy to sail on all points of sail, and in gusts, as stable as a cambered sail.
The Zephyr is an amazing sail! I never thought I would see a camless
sail perform like a cambered sail, espechially in light wind. I will sail in medium
wind next,and lastly strong wind."

"Here's my take on the Ezzy Zephyr 7.5:
Rigging is staightforward and the indication marks on the sail
for downhaul tension and outhaul distance are very useful. It's a pleasure to
rig on a 460 mast. The boom is longer than I'm used to as this is a low aspect
powerful sail. I just had to adjust my tacks and gybes to keep the clue end clear
of the water—no problem.
I like the fullness of this sail, and even with that, the battens
rotated very easily. The REAL JOY of this session, though, was how well I was
able to plane in about 12 MPH! The water was not even capping, so I know it wasn't
windy. It was one of those days that I used to talk myself into going out and
then be bummed by lack of sailing fun. Not so with the Zephyr. It pulled like
a little pony and had me laughing out loud. It gave me confidence to sail anywhere
on the lake and know I could get back to my dock without slogging.
A versatile and forgiving sail for cruising. I'll definitely put
one of these on my summer wish list."

"That sail is fantastic for short boarding. It is very light
and easy to handle. I hit 38.6 on it in August. I sail it on the Kona RRD 133
JP 116 JP 106 JP 86
Our friends use it on the Formulas. They love how easy it is to
uphaul in choppy conditions. I sailed it last night in 17 knots on the JP 106
it was fantastic!"
