Setting a New Standard For Freeride The secret to the Cheetah is its wing-like profile. How do we do it? We sew shape into the panels instead of relying on excess luff curve shaping, like every other no-cam freeride sail. Why do we shape the panels this way? Because the draft is significantly more stable and locked in. So, you get power and control with easy jibes. Who is the Cheetah built for? Sailors who want the world’s fastest and easiest handling freeride sail. Ask David Ezzy how long a sail should last, and he says “forever.” The Cheetah is built with Dyneema reinforced X-ply, ripstop scrim-X, and a Weft-Stop anti-rip sleeve cloth. Every seam is glued and covered before being sewn. David Ezzy owns his own factory because no other factory can produce the quality he demands. In the Ezzy factory, they rig every Cheetah on the correct mast with the correct downhaul and outhaul. And then they tune the battens. After all that, every inch of the sail is thoroughly inspected to make sure it meets the quality standards. The final step in the factory is downhauling the Cheetah on a load cell to an exact and calculated tension and attaching a gauge that lines up with the bottom of the mast. So, when you go to downhaul the Cheetah, there is no guessing on how much downhaul to pull; just downhaul until the line on the gauge lines up with the bottom of your mast.You get correct downhaul every time you rig. The new Cheetah raises the bar on freeride sails.
