THE ZETA
Power for onshore waveriding and bump'n'jump.
The power wave sail: The Zeta
You might remember David Ezzy's North Zeta from the late 80's and early 90's. The original shocked windsurfing back then by being the first 5-batten wave sail. A few decades and a lot of R&D later, it rides again.
Constant drive and easy acceleration make this the sail for onshore waveriding and bump'n'jump. The stable profile gets going right off the beach.
The power drives through lulls, currents and chop, so you keep planing when the conditions get tough. The luff panel lets it de-power, so it stays manoeuvrable despite the punch.
Powerful, easy to control, and equally at home on a wave or screaming across the bay on a windy afternoon.
WHAT MAKES THE ZETA DIFFERENT?
The Zeta is a powerful wave sail designed for onshore conditions and heavier riders. The extra power and stability in the sail's profile are balanced by the luff panel, which gives the Zeta its easy maneuverability. You get a "locked-in-and-go" feeling off the beach but jibes, jumps, and wave rides are still easy.
HARDCORE CONSTRUCTION
We work with the best high-tech cloth manufacturers in the world to have material that is strong but also light and high-performance. The same materials and techniques are used by the aerospace and military sectors for no-compromise quality. The Zeta is built to last through assaults like sharp asphalt, big waves, and coral reefs.
CALIBRATED RIGGING
When the conditions are good, you want to get on the water as fast as possible and have your sail rigged perfectly. Traditionally, this is a tradeoff. But with the Zeta's calibrated rigging, you can tune your downhaul in seconds. Each and every sail is rigged and calibrated in the Ezzy Sails factory. Simply, downhaul till the bottom of your mast lines up with the desired setting: Max, Mid, Min 1, or Min 2 (for extra light winds).

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