Description
OVERVIEW
A revolutionary freestyle sail concept with incredible acceleration, broad wind range and perfect ducking behaviour.
While sizes 3.6, 4.0, 4.4 and 4.8 are based on Nil’s demand for no-compromise competition sails, the 5.2LW is a carefully modified low-wind sail with extra boom length, extra profile depth and extra horsepower to get you planing and spinning as early as possible in light wind while avoiding big and uncomfortable sail sizes. If you want performance freestyle sails plus the most powerful and light 5.2 you’ve ever seen… look no further and order your 4STYLE set now!

CONSTRUCTION
Strong x-ply materials and clever reinforcements on the leeches, battens and pulley make the 4Style strong enough to be used in waves but at the same time our design team saved a lot of weight where it wasn’t needed. They have crafted an incredibly light sail that’s light in grams but feels even lighter in your hands while sailing. We’ve carefully optimised the material mix to give the 4Style an unparalleled strengh-to-weight ratio. Reduced batten-overlap, new computer-optmised reinforcements in foot, clew and top a redesigned foot protector plus new lighter batten tensioners have brought down the weight of this sail by more than 250g compared to our 4batten wave sail without compromising too much on the strength and durability of the sail – yes we could have gone even lighter, thinner more extreme… but want this sail to last and we want this sail to tear down the wall between wave and freestyle.
Developed by Patrik Diethelm, Fabio Canella and Henning Terstiege. Tested and Worldcup approved by Nil Bacon Aubert and the PATRIK freestyke team.
