Neutral feeling – Precise handling The third place. There’s windsurfing. There’s surfing. And there’s something else. When you go there, you’ll need the Zone. If you’re heading for a “close to surfing” experience, then the Zone is your ride; featherlight responsiveness, strength and control - it’s our most invisible sail yet. Super accurate point and shoot handling is the least you’d expect, but the neutrality and transparency is something you probably never imagined. Zone; the third place. It’s the place where Jason hangs out.

Beautiful eyes Widescreen visibility thanks to large monofilm window.

The balancing act The center of effort is closer to you than ever - the Zone has the most forward draft of all NeilPryde sails.

Straight up top and curvy down below The Zone profile has a moderate luff curve with straight mid-to-upper sections - that means reduced downhaul and surface tension.

Leaner, not meaner Super flat profile makes the sail more neutral with softer rotation.

Highly strung

More skin, less bones

Maximum outhaul tension stabilises the profile and prevents backward sail movement.

Less battens in smaller sizes to make the sail softer and more forgiving. The result: more control of power.

It’s a slippery slope

The reinforcements are in place, Captain.

Lower clew position gives better lower leech twist for more sail control on the wave.

Load-specific reinforcement puts critical strength where it’s needed Most, without waste or excess weight
