One of NeilPryde’s longest continually produced sails, the V6 gives you the advantages of a cambered sail in a simple, user-friendly package. Incorporating design features that include two Intercams, a classic flatwater outline and powerful shaping result in a sail whose design emphasises smooth rotation, early planing and ease of use. The result of this combination of features, the V6, is a sail that has come to represent the essence of flatwater windsurfing; simple to rig, quick onto the plane, easy to handle and fun to use. to gybe and simple to waterstart. s lighter than the V8, and plane more readily than the HellCat.
