Ezzy Wave Windsurfing Sail

Are you a wave sailor looking for a high-performance sail? Do you want a sail that is lightweight and easy to manouver on the waves as well as in the jumps and jibes? What about easy to rig? And built to last?  We recommend the Ezzy Wave. The Ezzy Wave carries the Ezzy traditions of easy handling and high quality while also being one of the lightest wave sails on the market, with the 4.7 weighing in under the 3kg mark. When we introduced the first version of the Ezzy Wave in 2020, our goal with the sail was to make a sail that provides early planing and power for onshore conditions as well as dynamic maneuverability and handling for side-shore wave riding. For 2023 and 2024, we introduce a new Ezzy Wave with changes across all sizes.  The Ezzy Wave makes us proud because it represents our lifetime of dedication to the craft of sailmaking and—most of all—our love of windsurfing. IS THE EZZY WAVE LIGHTWEIGHT? The Ezzy Wave is one of the lightest wave sails available, with the 4.7 weighing under 3kg. The Ezzy Wave is even lighter than the Taka. Compared to the Elite, the weight reduction comes from a more advanced design of the clew reinforcement and a Spectra-reinforced X-ply window instead of vinyl. WHAT DOES QUALITY MEAN? Quality means a sail that you can trust. When you go out on that big day—that day where you feel excitement in the back of your throat—you can trust your sail, and you can focus on your windsurfing. Quality means that when you're ready for new sails, you can sell your used sails to help with new purchase.  Quality is the core of the Ezzy philosophy. Quality is a 2-step process. The first step is making sure that the Ezzy Wave is designed to be a quality wave sail that can withstand the daily beatings that a hardcore wave sail must endure, like big waves, sharp rocks, and coral reefs. The Ezzy Wave comes from a lifetime of sailmaking knowledge applied to get maximum strength while reducing weight. The sail needs to be designed well and to be built with the right materials. To achieve this, we work with our suppliers to have innovative material that is both strong as well as lightweight. Sometimes, we want something better than anything that exists on the market. For example, years ago, we wanted a pulley on our sails, but none of the pulleys on the market were good enough—mostly they had too much friction—so we designed, molded, and manufactured our own pulley system that you now find on the Ezzy Wave. The second part of ensuring quality is in the actual production process—the best designs don't mean anything if they are produced poorly. Most sailbrands do not own their own manufacturing, rather they work wtih large factories in Asia. However, these factories could not provide the quality that David Ezzy insists upon. So, David built his own Ezzy Sails Factory in 1994 where quality is an important part of the production process from start to finish. When raw material arrives, it goes through a series of tests to make sure it is up to standard. At each step of the way during a sail's construction, there are double and triple checks. Once the sail is finally complete, the sail goes to the rigging station where it is rigged and closely inspected. Every single Ezzy sail is rigged like this in the factory, and after the inspection, the battens are tuned and the rigging system is calibrated so that when you unroll a brand new Ezzy Wave, you can expect it to be perfect and ready to sail. HOW DOES THE CALIBRATED RIGGING SAVE YOU TIME? When the conditions are good, you want to get on the water as fast as possible and have your sail rigged perfectly. Traditionally, this is a tradeoff. But with the Ezzy Wave's calibrated rigging, you can tune your downhaul in seconds. Each and every sail is rigged and calibrated in the Ezzy Sails factory. Simply, downhaul till the bottom of your mast lines up with the desired setting: Max, Mid, Min 1, or Min 2 (for extra light winds).   EZZY WAVE SPECS EZZY WAVE Luff Luff Boom Battens Ezzy Mast Weight Size (sq.m.)
