Windsurfing Sail Switchblade Green 2024-25 Size 7.8 Loftsails LS060013790

Description:

The Loftsails Switchblade 7.8 is a freerace windsurfing sail engineered to deliver high-speed performance with approachable handling for advanced and ambitious intermediate riders. It adapts the Racingblade DNA into a 3-cam freerace profile, producing relentless acceleration, strong top-end speed and a broad tuning range for precise on-the-water setup. The sail features tube batten technology—normally reserved for competitive designs—to improve control and stability when pushed hard. Two construction variants are available: a standard build with 3.5 mil outer panels, monofilm window and bi-ply upper panels, and an HD option that upgrades the window to 4 mil Xply and the upper body to 2 mil quad-axial panels for added longevity. All sizes up to 7.8 are supplied with both RDM and SMD TekCam II cams and the design has been validated on RDM masts, ensuring compatibility and refined feel. Built with speed and durability in mind, the Switchblade is a long-lasting freerace engine that performs reliably season after season.
