INSTANT HANDLING. INSTANT RESPONSE.

Now in its 11th season as part of the NeilPryde wave collection, the features that characterise the ZONE have firmly established it not only as a cornerstone of the NeilPryde wave range, but as an icon of the wavesailing world. A combination of precise handling, superb visibility and smooth power release - not to mention excellent visibility – ensure that the ZONE allows the rider to draw tight bottom turns and execute ‘snappy’ cutbacks off the lip. In conjunction with a soft, ‘neutral’ feel, the ZONE is perfectly suited to classic “down the line” wave conditions, hence making it the sail of choice for NeilPrydes’ 3Z’s - Jason Polakow, Levi Siver and Alex Mussolini.

DESIGN OBJECTIVES: ACHIEVED BY:

s surfing”. s when on a wave, but still give enough drive to load the marine boards’ rail through a bottom turn. s hand when ‘cutting back’ on a wave. s weight’. s (2007/08) improved twist in the upper part of the sail.

For 2009:

s s s in previous ZONE designs, but without increasing the boat boom length. This results in a more compact, manoeuverable sail and more “rider focused surface area”. s (in the mid-to-upper section) translates into reduced downhaul. This reduces surface tension, making for a soft, forgiving feel.

For 2009:

rapidly change it’s ‘mode’ from giving ‘drive’ to being ‘neutral’. s the rider as possible. s from the head area, particularly during cut backs. s transition from delivering ‘drive’ (needed for bottom turns) to a ‘neutral’ feeling; ideal for coming off the top of the wave.
