Windsurfing Sail Switchblade Green 2024-25 Size 5.8 — Loftsails (LS060013690)

Description: The Loftsails Switchblade is a freerace windsurf sail engineered for fast acceleration, wide tuning range, and long-term durability, making it ideal for sailors who want race-level performance in an approachable package. Constructed with 3.5 mil exterior panels, a clear central window and reinforced upper panels, the standard build balances lightness and resilience; the HD variant upgrades the central window to 4 mil Xply and the upper body to 2 mil quad‑axial panels for increased longevity and shape stability. Tube batten technology—borrowed from competitive race designs—adds upper-end control and stability, reducing flutter and improving downwind drive. All sizes up to 7.8 are supplied with TekCam II cams and are tested for compatibility with RDM masts, and the sail is supplied with both RDM and SMD TekCam II cams to fit different rigs. The Switchblade’s freerace profile delivers rapid acceleration and precise power delivery while retaining forgiving handling for a broad range of riders. Built with speed and longevity in mind, this sail is a high-value option for ambitious recreational sailors through advanced freestylers and racers.

Recommended Use: This sail is ideal for advanced recreational sailors and competitive freerace riders who want race-derived performance without the full-on commitment of a pure race sail. It performs best in open-water and coastal conditions where acceleration, top-end stability and precise tuning provide a real advantage—light to strong wind ranges depending on sail size. Pair with an appropriately sized RDM or SDM mast (TekCam II compatibility) and performance boom; regular rig tuning and a quality boom/mast combination will maximize longevity and on-water performance.
