Description
Our favourite wave sail for onshore conditions and / or heavier sailors. Completely redesigned in 2024, the main design features remain unchanged for 2025. The Atlas features a slightly higher aspect ratio and adjusted sail shaping to allow for smoother handling and a much lighter feel in the hands. Ultra Scrim and Q – Bond panels significantly reduce weight – up to 25%. Blast over whitewater and jump higher than ever, without sacrificing agility on the wave. New for 2025, the foot and clew panels now feature ArmorTech, our custom double Taffeta – Technora laminate for even greater strength in these high-load areas.

Sail Features:
Drive & Acceleration
Tight leech provides power for early planing and upwind performance.
Wide Wind Range
A large tuning range that allows the rider to trim the sail for all conditions, thanks to the combination of a pronounced luff curve in the boom area and a high outhaul tension that stabilises the profile.
Stability
Greater luff curve than the Combat and Zone to provide ultimate high wind control.
5 Batten Layout
5 batten layout to provide greater stability and a lighter feeling.
