Dennis Boisen unveils four new Point-7 sail releases for the autumn…
Point-7 SALT – Unleashed. Compact & dynamic. Ready for you to unleash on the elements.
The all new SALT 4-batten radical wave weapon from Point-7,
A new frontier wave sail that is built to destroy anything that Mother Nature throws at it.
Built with exclusive high grade X-ply UV resistant materials, the design of the sail was carried out with meticulous attention to the minute details of each component in the sail to ensure a perfect balance between minimal sail weight and having an indestructible construction.
The Salt is a 4-batten, super compact sail where inner shaping and skin tension have been used to ensure that the stability of the sail is contained. The short luff and boom length and the reduced weight construction lower the swing weight of the sail and redefine what is possible on the wave face. This, combined with a strong drive and instant handling unleashes the freedom of extreme manoeuvrability.
The Salt is the perfect wave/freestyle companion for the rider who wants to combine new-school moves with a compact sail that feels more alive and loads up more in lighter wind, for a dynamic performance which replicates total rider input.
The perfect sail to turn heads on, and off the water.
Due for release mid August 2011

Point-7 SADO 2G – The new SADO 2G, power to dominate the wave.
The SADO 2G combines power and drive to put the rider in complete control. Drive that will propel you towards the lip of the wave, no matter the angle of the wind, making this new development an ideal partner in all conditions.
The SADO 2G has massive amounts of power allowing lighter sailors to use a smaller sized sail than normal and benefit from the stability gained through the new deeper, forward positioned profile in the sail. Together with a harmonious straight opening leech, the wind range of the SADO 2G has been taken one step further to handle anything that Mother Nature throws at it!
Top batten twist will control the whole sail body catching the wind during cutbacks and assist sail rotation during air time or in manoeuvres. The straight-cut sail foot is shaped specifically for power and balance, giving no hindrance during cutbacks or new school manoeuvres. The forward profile of the sail produces ox-driven power and drive without putting additional pressure on the fin; allowing for natural use on both single and multi-fin boards.
