Question: Can you give us an advice for buying sails please? First of all, my weight is about  80 kg, my boards are 2 three fin wave, 80 and 95 l ,conditions are side,side-on and onshorewind and waves of max 2 meters. I want to have 3 sails ranging from 15-37 knots. Can i use other mast than goya for example neil pryde or ezzy mast?

Answer: Ezzy mast is the closest to the Goya mast in bend. NP mast I don’t know so well.

Regarding the sails- choose according to the desired power and feel, not the conditions. All of our wave sails are suitable for any wave condition- the difference is how the sail delivers power and the feeling in your hands.

Banzai- 4 battens, light weight, direct power
Guru G4- (new for ’14) 4 battens, light weight- softer power delivery and feel
Eclipse- 5 battens, (quiet in the hands)  power and excellent overall range

Hope this info helps!

    Previously you said Pryde masts have the same bend as Goya masts. Which would incite flex top, not constant curve, (ie, Ezzy.)

    Hi,
    NP masts work, but still, rig their lower-end range as usual performance diminishes on them. The older Ezzy masts work ok but we recommend rigging the newer overseas versions.
