Windsurfing Sail Switchblade Green HD 2022-23 Size 9.5 Loftsails LS060012830

Description:

The Loftsails Switchblade is a freerace windsurfing sail engineered for riders who demand fast, stable acceleration and a wide tuning range. Its 3-cam profile and carefully chosen aspect ratio produce forward-oriented drive that translates to smooth, relentless acceleration on flatwater and open courses. The green Switchblade construction uses bi‑ply in the upper panels with a clear monofilm central window for visual clarity; tube battens and a cambered layout deliver high‑speed stability and control. Optimized luff curves and vertical shape placement give an extensive trim palette so riders can dial power and balance for differing wind and course conditions. Though designed as a freerace sail, the Switchblade’s stability and drive make it very capable on slalom courses and at higher top-end speeds. Durable panel layout and reinforced batten attachment points ensure longevity through aggressive use and frequent tuning.

Key Features:

• 3-cam profile optimized for forward drive and sustained acceleration
• Tube batten system for enhanced high‑speed stability and precise control
• Bi‑ply upper panels with monofilm central window (green version) for a balance of stiffness and visibility
• Optimized luff curves and vertical shapes for a very wide trim/tuning range
• Freerace design with proven slalom performance — praised in magazine tests
• Reinforced construction at load points to improve durability and resistance to stretch
• Smooth power delivery ideal for sustained planing and race-style upwind/downwind runs
• Compatible with standard windsurf masts and booms; cam systems vary by size
