NEW METALLIC XPLY & 2PLY Our brand-new metallic laminates create incredible colors throughout our whole range of sails and noticeably extend their lifespan. These effects are achieved by incorporating metallic flakes into the laminate itself, which creates never seen before visual effects to our windsurfing sails and reflect harmful UV rays. This construction method is applied both in our X-PLY and 2-PLY laminates.

No more than split seconds can make the difference between winning a world title and losing your spot in the final. However, slalom sailing is about more than the World Tour, it’s about overtaking your friends at the local lake and being the fastest at national racing events. With the 2019 Vapor you can be the one on the top of the podium and breaking speed records. The Phantom on the other side doesn’t cut back on performance and speed, offering easier handling and manoeuvrability to speed up your ride.
