The North Ego new windsurfing sail is for wave and freestyle use.
The Ego heralded the era of the concept wave sails, as innovators, which is built with exceptional materials and shows the latest trends in sail design. Also for 2011 Kai Hopf has consistently complied with this requirement and has improved the performance, details and especially the handling of the new Ego. Yet despite our passion for innovation, we are true to our motto "innovation follows function".
Kai Hopf developed the BALANCED.LUFF.LENGTH a precisely balanced ratio of luff length to boom length. As short and compact as possible for radical handling and as long as necessary for a decent twist and ensuring maximum wind range. In order to achieve sensible sizes Kai uses the proven NORTH SAILS CROSS.BATTEN.CONCEPT in combination with the CUTAWAY.CLEW, that has reaped real benefits in handling. In addition the optimised luff curve and sail foil tension, the new batten profiles make the Ego feel much lighter in your hands.
IMPORTANT: the Ego is our first sail exclusively designed for RDM masts due to it's special elastic characteristics. The smaller mast diameter perfectly matches this softer feeling sail and shorter luff.
