 |
|
Does anyone have recommendation for a 5.7 to 6.0 bump-n-jump or power wave sail. My 2005 5.8 Ka Kult has seen it's better days and I'm looking for a replacement. Things I like about the sail. Low end power with good foil shape in the bottom battens, good wind range, fast, strong and controllable. This sail will be used mainly with 100l and 85 l free wave boards in 16 to 22 kts Bump to freeride conditions, occasional in small waves. I use Nolimitz skinny masts.

Isn't it clear already?! Sailworks Revolution of course ! It's exactly what you are looking for and you have the right mast already. Right now you have the choice of the reduced price 2014 model and the slightly different size 2015 model.
Funny my only non Sailworks sail is also a 5.8 Kult -the 2011 model. My next size down-a 2014 Revo 5.2

| Ezzy Tiger would be another great choice. Will fit your mast as Ezzy masts are made by Nolimitz

But the stiffness curves differ.

Probably not by enough to make a big difference.
You could probably have a great time on a 6.0 Ezzy Cheetah, a 6.0 Ezzy Tiger, or a 6.0 Revolution or Retro. At 6.0, you are right at the crossroads of no-cam freeride sails and big onshore wave sails.
I have friend who is having a great time these days on a 5.5 Retro, because in that size it is a fine bump and jump sail. I have a 5.5 Cheetah that also works fine in that range.
Tough choice. If you sail in rough water conditions, you probably want to side more to the Tiger or Revolution. Both are very good sails.

Yep, yep, and yep.
I prefer the Elite (ocean wave sailing) but for B&J the Tiger is it, also know as the Panther if you get an older one, 5 battens on both.

I went from a KA quiver (Kults & Kaos) to a Sailworks Revolution quiver. I really like the revo's. I use Chinook rdm carbon 90's on all of em.

Another vote for Ezzy Tigers. They have a full shape in the bottom, amazing customer service and they last forever.
