The S-1 is a high performance 4 batten wave sail. The reduced batten count makes this sail light, flexible and responsive. The S-1 has more back-hand pressure than the Blade, ensuring there’s always some juice to go vert or launch moves.
Both the S-1 and S-1 Pro have been developed on an identical platform. The PRO construction offers the ultimate experience while the S-1 replicates the dynamic performance in a more accessible construction.
Both constructions utilize GRADIENT PANEL TECHNOLOGY to logically reduce weight, increase strength and control stretch. Direct transmission of power. Increased longevity.
The S-1 features quality materials including VX2, SpiderFibre, and eM4. The S-1 Pro is crafted in CARBON FUSION.
The S-1 is a manoeuvre-oriented wave sail to excel in waves from knee high to as big as they go.
With the new GRADIENT PANEL TECHNOLOGY improvements are obvious. Lighter weight and better stability.
Using the new GRADIENT PANEL TECHNOLOGY. Corners have overlapped panels which reduces the amount of patching. At the same time these overlapped areas extend into the body of the sail so it transitions the load much better, will be less stretch over time. It’s a more stable way of building sails.
The GRADIENT PANEL TECHNOLOGY logically reduces weight, increases strength and controls stretch. Overall weight is reduced but the more significant improvement is the feel – quicker reacting and lighter feel.
Rather than a single curved luff panel, we use separate panels – split luff – that radiate out of the head and tack corners. This perfectly aligns the sail material with the direction of load.
Previously the curved panel would have bias stretch in all the wrong places. Direct transmission of power. Increased longevity.

WHAT IS NEW ON THE 024 S-1?
The 024 S-1 sails make use of Gradient Panel Technology and high end materials such as VX2 and EM4.
CAN I RIG THE S-1 ON AN SDM MAST?
No, the S-1 is designed on RDM masts
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE S-1 AND THE S-1 PRO?
The S-1 Pro uses CarbonFusion technology and is constructed using carbon fibre laminates.
The S-1 PRO uses Carbon Fusion technology.
The S-1 PRO is lighter.
The S-1 is less expensive.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BLADE AND S-1?
The S1 is more manoeuvrable orientated, which means it has more backhand power that allows you to change your line more in the bottom turn and makes it easier to rotate through manoeuvres like wave 360.
The Blade is kept more neutral with more power in the front of the sail giving you a lot more control for both riding and jumping.
The S-1 has 4 battens.
The S-1 is maneuverable oriented sail.
The BLADE is full X-PLY, the S-1 features a monofilm window.
The S-1 is more powerful.
DOES THE S-1 CHANGE CHARACTERISTICS DEPENDING ON SIZE?
No, the S-1 is a wave sail across the full range.
