ALL-AROUND PERFORMANCE WAVE
Quickly getting on a plane and reaching top speed is a crucial performance element of the Global that leads to great jumping performance. Combined with a turning ability that allows the rider to drive off his back foot or focus on carving turns off the front foot, this board line truly has everything needed to perform in the widest variety of conditions. It's best suited to side-onshore and onshore conditions while offering enough range to also feel at home in side-shore conditions.
SHAPE DETAILS
The Global's outline carries a bit more width through the nose and tail compared to a Ho'okipa Quad, giving it additional stability and planing ability. The V-bottom shape starts with a slight V in the entry of the nose area that carries into a V with a slight double concave in its midsection, transferring into a clean V release out the tail. The rocker line focuses on early planing and fast acceleration. Combined with the V-bottom shape, we managed to achieve a turning ability that is comparable to other side-shore boards. The Global's rail shape carries a slight edge with a medium tuck through the nose and midsection that turns sharp just behind the front foot area for ultimate early planing and good acceleration.
A Force 5 vitorlát kifejezetten erőre és sebességre tervezték. Kiváló választás a nehezebb riderek számára, akik extra teljesítményt igényelnek, valamint azoknak, akik part felé fújó szélben vitorláznak, ahol a gyors indulás kulcsfontosságú. A dinamizmus és az azonnali reakció a Force 5 DNS-ének része, így ez a vitorla a tökéletes bump & jump választás is. Sokoldalúságának köszönhetően minden körülményhez igazodik, legyen szó teljesen sík vízről vagy bármilyen hullámviszonyról – a Force 5 valóban egy „terepjáró” vitorla. Nagy monofilm ablaka kivételes sebességet és irányítást biztosít. Szerkezete könnyű és jól manőverezhető.
5 BATTEN POWER WAVE SAIL
The Force 5 is designed to deliver power and speed. It feels at home with heavier riders who need that extra bit of juice and anyone sailing in onshore conditions where getting going is crucial. With that much "get up and go" packed into its design DNA the Force 5 is also the quintessential bump and jump sail. The right sail for a large variety of conditions ranging from pure flatwater sailing to any and all wave conditions, the Force 5 is truly "all terrain." Featuring a large monofilm window, the Force 5 features exceptional speed and control, as well as instant sheet-in-and go acceleration. Utilizing XS-1577 ultralight scrim, the Force 5 is lightweight and easily maneuverable. If you are looking for speed, power, and control, the Force 5 does it all.
Quote: “The Force 5 is still the ultimate power wave sail. It is designed and optimized for power wave sailing, it has tons of power and control, which means it’s fast, planes early, and you can handle it in extreme wind conditions easily because of the stability and overall design. Really an incredible all-around wave sail and all-around pump + jump sail.” - Nils Rosenblad
