- One of the biggest and most exciting trends going on today in sail design is a move towards 4-batten wave sails. Naish has been doing the Boxer for years and a few others joined them a couple years ago...but now, as you can see below, a ton of manufacturers are onboard. We decided to give these designs there own category because they are sure to make a mark on the windsurfing marketplace in 2012!
Why Four?
Light is right: Dropping a batten can save significant weight in the sail.
Quad Power: Some brands define their 4-batten design as their match to a Quad fin waveboard. This is the case for the ones with a draft further back, which helps to drive the four small fins.
Wave and Freestyle: Just like with the 5-batten wave sails, many of these 4-batten designs are being grabbed by freestylers to help maneuver through all the technical new aerial tricks.
