RRD

Product

A pure freeride experience, with an addition of extra strength

Freeride Heavy Duty

Same program of the Evolution MKIV, just built heavier with ONLY X-Ply material, no mono film! The sixth generation of the first RRD sail ever produced. Making every change with one only thing in mind : easiness of rigging and trimming, comfortable to ride and with plenty of low end.

Description

Custom designed specifically for each size and made strong enough for anyone with all over X-ply. The bullet proof freerider.

Features

The first approach has been the one to re-design the sail from scratch, to make it more modern,with lots of new features depending on each size and type of use, yet true to its core: EASY , POWERFUL, FUN. The new Evolution MKIV comes in 5 different sizes to cover all aspects of freeriding: 8.0/7.2/6.4/5.7/5.0 Every size has its own outline and batten configuration:

8.0 , 6 battens configuration: long clew cutout to reduce the boom length to the max. In this size you need a sail that is closer to a freerace sail, still maneuverable, but mostly powerful and with good top end speed.

7.2 , 6 battens configuration: mid length clew cutout to reduce the boom length to a compact size. A perfect mix of acceleration, manouverabilty and low end power.
6,4 , 6 battens configuration: small clew cutout to slightly reduce the boom length so it’s juts right. The central size of the program that handles good amount of wind, manouvers like a proper freeride sail/ bump and jump, and still delivers pleasure of great speed in any winds.

5.7 and 5.0 , 5 battens configuration: No clew cutout. You just want to have all that boom length to get a bit of back hand pressure when you get underpowered.
Lighter, more alive than any other sizes of the program these two sizes are there to be used both as allround freeride sails for lightweight sailors, or to be used on SUP boards.
