Windsurfing Sail Switchblade Green 2024-25 Size 8.5 Loftsails LS060013810

Windsurfing Sail Switchblade Green 2024-25 Size 8.5 — Loftsails LS060013810

Description: The Loftsails Switchblade is a freerace sail that blends Racingblade performance DNA with a more approachable 3-cam profile for fast acceleration, huge top-end speed and a wide tuning range. Built with high-quality exterior panels and a reinforced upper body, the Switchblade delivers consistent shape and durability through repeated high-load use. The design incorporates tube batten systems borrowed from competitive sails to improve control and stability when pushed hard. Two construction variants are available: a standard layup with 3.5 mil exterior panels, monofilm central window and bi-ply upper body panels, or an HD layup using a 4 mil xply central window and 2 mil quad-axial upper body panels for added longevity. The sail’s freerace geometry gives confident handling in planing conditions while remaining forgiving enough for advanced recreational sailors. Check mast compatibility where relevant — many Switchblade sizes (up to 7.8) are supplied with both RDM and SMD TekCam II cams; verify cam/mast options for the 8.5 size with your retailer.
