Ezzy Cheetah

Our go-to flat water sail, the Cheetah has a soft, locked-in race feel. Camless and easy to rig, the Cheetah’s deep foil provides power and speed.
When we freeride, we want to go fast, nail 100% of our jibes, and rocket into the air if a ramp appears. This is the easy freedom that inspired the Cheetah, and what the Cheetah delivers.
The Cheetah is pure freeride but can hold its own against any race sail. The forgiving, soft feel makes the Cheetah a dream to gybe. The Cheetah rigs on all RDM and SDM masts. And, like all Ezzy Sails, the Cheetah is built to last.

NEW FEATURES FOR 2016!

  • New Material = Lighter, Softer, More Maneuverable
    A lighter scrim not only reduces the Cheetah's weight but
    also makes the sail softer, so it glides through lulls and
    maneuvers effortlessly. Also for 2016, the 6.0, 6.5, and 7.0
    have 6 battens instead of 7, making the smaller sails feel
    lighter and softer.
  • Flatter Shape Above the Boom = More Control
    The profile above the boom is flatter to give the Cheetah
    more control when the wind picks up.
  • Smoother Twist = Faster
    The batten spacing is more progressive, which means that
    the battens are closer to each other nearer to the head of
    the sail. This creates a smoother twist in the sail's profile,
    which translates to more constant power, more control,
    and a higher top speed.

A portion of every sail we sell goes to help schools in Sri Lanka.

The Ezzy Hookipa Mast

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.

For further info on Ezzy Mast sizing, please refer to our Mast Configurator Tool

Our removable, 316 stainless steel tack pulley can be replaced with our 316 stainless D-ring for those who prefer a grommet with a pulley hook.
