Light wind – Maximum power Get Gas. If your only local is low-wind or the forecast breeze never fills in as promised, take a deep breath of Helium. Helium is essential kit in your quiver because when Mother Nature says no, you can reply with “well, actually - yes”. Guaranteed to bring you all the planing highs of stronger wind conditions, Helium satisfies the need for speed with Big Bang acceleration to get you going faster, faster. It’s the most powerful sail in the freeride collection with a smooth twin-cam profile - stable to the point of being inert - giving you more predictable control over the elements. And when the breeze fills in, Helium responds with confidence so you can handle temperamental gusts and increased wind velocity without losing a breath. Helium - even on light days you can still get the high.
Only the strong will survive
Up and away
Five full battens and a flex head batten maintain the balance between light weight and low-end power.
Extreme early planing and lift in light winds from deep, pronounced, central to backhand oriented profile.
Can’t see them for dust Weight loss programmed
Exceptional early planing from moderate luff curve and medium sail body tension.
Progressive use of monofilm thickness keeps Helium light up top and strong down low.
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide Ultracam Freeride affords a greatly reduced sleeve width with less weight overall.
The reinforcements are in place, Captain Load-specific reinforcement puts critical strength where it’s needed most, without waste or excess weight.
