Description

FREERIDE – CLASSIC HEAVY DUTY

Our most user-friendly and affordable freeride sail. The Ryde offers fun windsurfing in its purest form. Quick to rig and light in the hands, it is a stable, smooth sail designed to build confidence in gybes, waterstarts and straight-line speed.

FULL DESCRIPTION

Equally comfortable on fin or foil, the wide wind range and range of use will allow you to enjoy every session right from the word go.

All the benefits of the Ryde but with the extra addition of x-ply in the center panels for our most durable construction in a freeride sail.

DESIGN

INNOVATION

Designed and tested at our NeilPryde Maui Design Center by Robert Stroj, then further developed through our team riders’ feedback from across the world. No stone is left uncovered in our relentless drive to be the best at what we do.

ROBERT STROJ

In order to achieve the weight savings and performance enhancements that we were looking for in 2024, we redesigned our entire wave sail construction, all the way from the panel layout.

We developed very specific materials across the range which enabled us to use larger individual panels with less seams in order to significantly reduce the weight of all 3 technologies.

In 2025, the main design features of the wave sail range remain unchanged but we have improved material choices in the foot and clew of the sails for extra durability.

Variable thickness laminates have been the basis of NeilPryde’s panel layout design philosophy for over 10 years and we have been improving their performance and increasing the areas where we are able to use these technologies year over year.
