dr.xworldcupwave
Never before has a sail had so much success in such a short period of time. The DR.X exploded on the scene
in 2001, and the new 2002 models are poised to do the same. THE most extreme wave sail of this year’s program
was refined even more, giving it an elastic feeling and more neutral handling. Therefore, it will meet the demands of
a perfect sideshore-/side-onshore engine. Combined with the shortest boom length of all of the NORTH SAILS wave
sails the DR.X allows you to boost jumps as well as ride waves aggressively in front of the judge’s eyes.
m
ax
.
Difference DR.X – TRIPLE XXX:
With the shortest boom of all NORTH SAILS wave
models the DR.X is the ultimate high-end sail for radical
wave riding. The brand new TRIPLE XXX is the most
powerful wave sail on the market and combines the
perfect blend of control and pure power.

Built to get worked! A concept that will never be too old and one that made the VOODOO an instant classic. The indestructible
2002 model was manufactured without any monofilm, and only the highest quality, most durable cloth. You can rely on it: The
VOODOO will always come out a winner when it comes to competing against mother nature, even in most extreme and brutal
conditions. And by the way: The complete VOODOO range works with the 400/19 mast, in other words “One mast fits all”!

Difference TRIPLE XXX – DISCO:
TRIPLE XXX with a higher center of effort for a
better balance while riding the waves. DISCO
with a lower center effort for direct power and the
best acceleration.
triplexxxpowerwave
A shot of pure adrenalin! The TRIPLE XXX has tremendous power to punch you out through the whitewater, even on gusty
onshore-days. This new model for 2002, combines early planing with an elastic construction, providing excellent low end
power and very balanced handling. The TRIPLE XXX, with its fast reaction, low weight and great performance, will be your
most versatile and well-balanced wave sail. It is equally comfortable during radical moves, or days when the garbage cans are
blowing over.

tonixfreemovefreeride
The brand-new Freemove/Freeride sail can adapt to any situation.
The sail sizes up to 5.8 are designed as Freemove sails (focus on
handling and control), while the larger sizes are designed as
Freeride sails (focus on handling and low end power). Both concepts
are the perfect synthesis of speed, acceleration and handling. The
TONIX is a true sail of many talents. All this is achieved with the
revolutionary CROSS.BATTEN.CONCEPT, which positions the
center of weight further down and therefore makes the sail feel
perfectly balanced. In addition, the deeper profile provides earlier
planing, awesome acceleration and unique handling.

The no-cam blast machine puts a smile on your face in every jibe, due to its effortless rotation and easy handling. Besides
the tremendous low-end power, the TRANS AMl will also impress in top end speed. The FLIP.ROTATING.SYSTEM, where the
battens rotate without touching the mast combined with the narrower mast sleeve make the sail very user friendly. Advantages
you will notice immediately when jibing, water-starting and last but not least rigging. Attention: The camber equipped WARP III and
the MATCH RACE are better suited for extreme upwind or downwind courses.

Who doesn’t want to win a match on the water? Thanks to immediate
planing and breathtaking acceleration you’re going to be catapulted all the
way up front and leave everybody far behind- high speed windsurfing as
good as it can get. Because of the very deep profile you will be planing
earlier and accelerating quicker than with the TRANS AM and due to only
2 cambers it provides easier handling than the WARP III. 4 super-stiff
BOX.BATTEN guarantee excellent draft stability even when super overpowered. As a versatile Freerace sail the new MATCH RACE fits all speed
oriented boards (Race-,Matchrace- and fast Widebody-boards).

The formula one engine among sails – directly from the finish line and built for the merciless battle for the top position on
the podium. The new WARP III guarantees breathtaking speed and uncompromising performance on all courses, even when
completely overpowered. Designer Larry Herbig focused on the bigger sizes for this year. In Formula Racing you will always
find the WARP III up front. And by the way: The WARP III is the only production sail worldwide that is equipped with hollow
carbon BOX.BATTENS providing a rock solid center of effort.

hyperleech
Makes speed oriented sails even faster. Designer Larry Herbig identified the point where the top of
the sail reacts differently to angles of attack and wind gusts. He found he could increase the twisting
section(top) of the sail and not affect the power section(bottom). This enabled him to create sails with
improved twist, more power and more control. This also enables increased leech tension, improving the
low end power.
NORTH SAILS roots are in yachting. We became
famous for making high tech sails for the most
expensive and successful racing yachts.
"Continuous development and refinement of new
technologies” has always been our motto. When
founding NORTH SAILS WINDSURFING this was
our first priority. We strive to ensure that performance
stands above everything else. Whatever makes
you faster, allows more radical windsurfing, or
provides easier learning… this makes sense.
What only looks good doesn’t. WINDSURF
TECHNOLOGY is supposed to serve two purposes:
improve the sport and enhance the fun.
Remaining true to our roots, here are some of our
main features and technical highlights.

crossbattenconcept
erik troostheide
the dutch danger
Optimum combination of handling and power. There is one thing everyone
wants: plane even earlier! Normally achieved with deeper profiles which
have a negative effect on handling, our designers solved this problem 2
years ago. They changed the batten distances, the angles and the positions, so
that especially in the maneuver-oriented sails the center of effort could be
moved down while at the same time supporting the big area around the
boom. This batten configuration we call the CROSS.BATTEN.CONCEPT.
You will immediately notice it through the X formed by the boom and the
batten enabling remarkably more power and superior control through a wide
wind range.
flairtop
Equalizes the gusts. The response to the FLAIR.TOP was so overwhelming, that we will integrate
this feature in all sail categories. What worked so well last year in our wave-/freestyle sails we
now implement into all 2002 models.
Through the unique construction with a lightweight top batten, the top not only twists horizontally
but also vertically. So the FLAIR.TOP works like a valve. According to the wind pressure the
FLAIR.TOP either releases power or transfers it into acceleration. It doesn’t matter how you rig
your sail. The FLAIR.TOP even works with less downhaul tension, when rigged at VTS-min for
the best low end.

the largest area is actively supported by a batten
the pull is lower, where it’s easier to control; this enables designers to put more
low end power into the sail without negatively effecting the high end control
the sail is much more balanced (especially during maneuvers and jumps)
CROSS.BATTEN.CONCEPT avoids the gap in the boom area; perfectly balanced
stabilization of the whole sail body, especially in the critical boom area
A. Speed-oriented sails need the second
batten below the boom to support the
large area and to avoid the gap between
the board and the sails (close the gap).
This has a negative effect on the handling.
B. In classic wave sails with the “battenfree” area above- and below the boom
the profile starts collapsing earlier,
which reduces the wind range.
C. CROSS.BATTEN.CONCEPT eliminates
both problems:
1. the intelligent batten configuration
guarantees the handling of a maneuver
sail (just one batten ends below the boom).
2. the diagonal batten supports the
instable area around the boom and makes
for superior draft stability (no "batten-free”
zone in the whole boom area).

100% profile accuracy. Optimum aerodynamic and absolute profile accuracy are core, quality
features for us – 100% accuracy is demanded. This starts during the cutting, where we cut all
panels with a laser. Next, the panels are glued together fold free using profile ribs. Only NORTH
SAILS uses this technology to keep tolerances to the absolute minimum. Through this
3D.TECHNOLOGY a monocoque body is built up, which exactly corresponds to the final profile
and enables problem-free sewing. This guarantees shape… and performance for many years
to come.

Very stiff, very light. Draft movement and bad rig control are definitely avoidable. This is why we
have decided to use battens which are a class by themselves. Their stiffness, the 30% decreased
weight due to being hollow, and the high breakage-strength make our BOX.BATTENS the best
you can get. Plus the thin cross-section improves the aerodynamics compared to tube battens.
This is why BOX.BATTENS are extreme in every way: extremely light, extremely stiff, extremely
draft stable, extremely high-performing.
a) Smooth profile 3D.TECHNOLOGY:
Perfectly shaped and smooth profiles are
naturally more efficient, producing maximum
performance.
b) Segmented profile:
Segmented, squared profiles, which are
generated through ordinary production
methods, produce uneven shapes, which
can cause drag.

Provides effortless acceleration and deep power-reserves. Extremely stiff and direct sails,
which demand lots of power to get going and even more to be controlled, are a thing of the
past. In this new generation of more elastic profiles, NORTH SAILS leads the way. The 2002
models offer unparalleled acceleration, plenty of power-reserves and neutral handling. Another
benefit of the elasticity is the comfort level of these sails, especially in choppy water or overpowered conditions. Tests have shown this leads to smoother rig control and higher performance.
SECRET.SEAM.SHAPING has been implemented into all 2002 sail models.

Perfect trim enables a very wide range of use. Now it’s even faster and easier: 2 dots – one
view. VTS acts like a turbo charger making for improved performance and an extended wind
range. Just pull the downhaul -according to the wind strength- until the borderline of the loose
leech in the top reaches the "min” or "max” mark – off you go. Our patented VTS SYSTEM is
that easy to read and tune. NORTH SAILS offers you a large trim range and with only one sail
size you are able to cover a wide range of wind conditions. Even top racers like Micah Buzianis
and Diada Ruano Moreno rely 100% on the VTS SYSTEM.

Easy batten rotation is a snap. Everyone knows it: the harder the batten snaps during rotation,
the more uncomfortable the handling is. Therefore Kai Hopf has developed the FLIP. ROTATING.
SYSTEM for all no-cam sails, eliminating the hated snap during rotation. This was made possible
through our CONSTANT.DRIVE.CONCEPT which pre-profiles our sails. So our sails always
show profile even without wind pressure enabling the battens to freely rotate behind the mast.

Never again will your harness lines be in the wrong position. Stop getting hard forearms
and time-consuming trial and error to find the correct harness line position! The individually
defined print on the sail shows exactly the right centre-position of your lines. Just position the
ends symmetric to the print and the sail will always be perfectly balanced. With HTS you don’t
only save time but also lots of energy!

Looking at our large boom range could give the impression that we are featuring booms
only. The selection could hardly be wider. This variety is also our strength, making each single
boom what everybody likes at NORTH SAILS: great in performance, specific in the range of
use, secure and comfortable. No wonder, that they are one of the most sold booms worldwide.

The front-end plays an essential role regarding comfort and security. It was a big focus point
in the past, and now we can proudly present the most successful front-end on the market.
Also the 2002 boom models excel with perfect function, the easy to use clamp system, high
stiffness and an optimum fit without slipping on the mast. Despite the tight fit on the mast,
the PRO.GRESSION II absorbs shocks very well, enabling a very comfortable and direct rig
handling.

The even stiffer version of the new PRO.GRESSION with a
refined, length specific bend curve delivers the power
directly without collapsing even one millimetre (Boom can
not be taken apart). It also has thin RDM tubes with oval SQUASH.GRIP® sections providing
a high grip comfort without affecting the durability and stiffness. The range comprises 5
different boom lengths. The PRO.GRESSION COMP makes a perfect boom for all sail
types from wave to freeride.

The latest PRO.GRESSION can be taken apart in seconds
and enables the use of different tube sizes. Each length has
an individual bend curve, so the PRO.GRESSION fits all sail
types. The waterproof SNAP LOCK MK IV secures the boom length and prevents the tubes
from twisting. More advantages are the reliable PRO.GRESSION II front end, combining
maximum durability with safety and high comfort and the thin RDM tubes with the oval
SQUASH.GRIP® sections and a comfortable grip.
Looking for a super-stiff boom with performance of a pure
carbon boom? The X.COMPOSITE 50 offers a new standard in performance, almost
equal to the full carbon version. The magic behind the boom is in the construction, which is
made of different fiber composites, including a high carbon content. The tubes, end-tubes
and end-pieces are manufactured from this composite. The combination of the thin tube
diameter, the PRO.GRESSION II front end, and composite materials provides a high
performance and high quality boom, previously not available at this price.

The secret of the CARBON.WAVE is the construction and
the shape, exclusively developed by full-on wave professionals. A specific bend curve,
designed for the demands of wave sailing, guarantees the sailor will have both hands an
even distance from the center of the sail and provides a balanced rig when riding the
waves. Because of the short extension (35 cm), the thin tube diameter remains unchanged all
the way to the rear section of the boom, guaranteeing a solid grip in bottom turns. The
slightly rough surface of the end-piece gives you a firm grip in Duck Tacks and Duck
Jibes. 100% carbon makes the CARBON.WAVE super stiff and so durable, that even the
"juiciest” waves won’t destroy it.

Super nice high performance boom in a medium size
FULL.CARBON.CONSTRUCTION, which meets the demands of our freestyle team
in every respect. Maximum stiffness guarantees pure performance and keeps the
center of effort stable. The low weight doesn’t suck either. The non-skid rear-end
provides grip for Duck Tacks and Duck Jibes. One size covers all Freestyle/Freemove
sail sizes (3.8 to 6.9).

Power Extreme. These days almost all kinds of
high performance components in the sports business
are manufactured from carbon. No other material
offers such an unbeatable strength to weight ratio.
So we are using this high-quality raw material in our
booms in order to achieve extreme stiffness and
maximum power. Only these super stiff booms will
transfer the power 1:1, as its stiffness prevents the
booms from flexing in gusts and thereby distorting
the sail profile.
Attention: the bend, stiffness and weight of all three
lines are designed for the use in World Class racing
– your rig may feel a bit unusual due to the extreme
stiffness on your first day. But you will adjust soon
and come to rely on the enormous power and
responsiveness the boom will give your rig.

more power for all sails
titaniumprotectionshield
"Never ever!” was not acceptable for our mast
engineers, even when our World Cup sailors
made demands for ever lighter equipment.
Especially the freestyle specialists asked for lighter
masts, to reduce the overall rig weight, making it
easier to control their rigs during crazy maneuvers.
Well, ok! Straight into the laboratory, two years of
development and well, what do you know! The
unexpected is already in production: VIPER AERO
the world’s first mast below 1 kg! In contrast to
normal carbon masts, the VIPER AERO is manufactured with very expensive Aerospace carbon,
normally used in the Aerospace industry or in the
production of high quality components for the
Americas Cup. In combination with specific resin
types and the Pre-preg-autoclave-process we are
producing the lightest and most expensive mast
the windsurfing world will ever hold in its hands.
The TITANIUM.PROTECTION.SHIELD is the new sensation in
mast development, used with the VIPER WAVE and VIPER
RACE. A super light titanium shield is wound over the top of the
carbon. This gives the VIPER a thin coat of titanium, that not only
protects the carbon structure from nicks, but UV-light and overheating as well.

By the way: the unmistakable
DROP.SHAPE and performance

dropshape
But light weight itself is not enough for an efficient mast. To completely mobilize the power of modern sails, the reflex and bend
characteristics are also of decisive importance. That’s why we developed a unique mast geometry, designed to get 100% out of any
sail. This special geometry can be identified in seconds through the revolutionary DROP.SHAPE, providing a more harmonious bend
curve, a noticable higher draft stability and consequently more performance in the whole wind range.
To identify the perfect mast geometry we use a comprehensive and precise measuring technique which, unlike the classic 3-point
IMCS-measurement, analyses the curve over the entire length of the mast. It clearly shows that traditional mast shapes are too stiff
below the boom which adversely affects the sail’s performance. For the DROP.SHAPE, the exact diameter is specified over the entire
mast, to reduce the stiffness below the boom and to obtain the desired increase in stiffness above the boom, resulting in a very balanced
stiffness distribution. This prevents the sail profile from deforming, provides better draft stability, easier handling and greater top speed
for your sail.
Another decisive advantage of the DROP.SHAPE construction is the reduction of the mast diameter to an aerodynamically fully developed
size, which makes any discussion about needle masts old hat for us. And as well as optimizing the stiffness, we increased the wall
thickness, so DROP.SHAPE masts are not only light, but also very durable.
masttechnology
viper technology
xcellerator technology
sting technology
The ultimate World Cup technology offers
new dimensions regarding per-formance
and weight. The secret is the computercontrolled resin-carbon fiber ratio as
well as the high compression used
during the production (up to 10 tons).
With the combination of rolling and the
Aerospace pre-preg technology, the
amount of resin is reduced and the use
of 100% carbon (75% with the VIPER
75) make mast like the VIPER AERO
possible, the world’s lightest mast.
XCELLERATOR – stands for acceleration.
It’s technical specifications guarantee
sensational performance and the polished
finish attracts everyone’s attention. The
CROSS.CARBON.CONSTRUCTION
made it possible – a production method
used for all XCELERATOR masts. It allows
us to define and change the rolling angle,
to optimise the specifications over the
entire mast and to integrate a super
strong, three-dimensional construction for
a fast response rate.
The story behind the STING is the
CARBON.CROSS.WINDING technology
where the fibers are woven in a way that
provides high quality construction. A
clever mix of glass and carbon gives the
STING mast a smooth dynamic with
above average durability. The modern
shape allows the mast to be used with all
sails giving great performance.

High quality, extremely flexible and
durable SAS DURASTRETCH raw
material with high content of
carbon particles
The pleasing factor. The fit and the neoprene decide the quality of every wetsuit. To offer you
maximum comfort we developed our own neoprene. It surpasses regular neoprene in terms of
softness, stretch-ability and durability. We call it NORTH SAILS SAS DURASTRETCH. It’s extremely
stretchy, very lightweight, UV-resistant and has a high carbon content to provide a very comfortable
and long lasting fit.
To reduce the "cooling out” – effect the SAS DURASTRETCH has a special surface structure,
which helps reduce the binding of water molecules to the surface of the suit, and lets the water
run off faster. Additionally, the surface has excellent abrasion resistance. To provide exceptional
comfort a special inner lining is used on many of the panels. This improves heat retention, flexibility
and most of all is soft on the skin.

Our designers invested a huge amount of time this year into the new harness program for 2002. The main focus
was on fitting and comfort. We tried to develop harnesses that had the best possible combinations of pressure distribution,
comfort and user friendliness. Many of the details such as patches, strap position and seam position were changed.
The patented PRO.LIMIT pin release hook is also new for this season. This hook will get you on the water faster, and
you will waste less time fiddling with your harness. We are proud to present the best harness collection NORTH SAILS
has ever had.

rely on function, durability and comfort. Even when you want to go extremely
fast on the water. By the way, the legendary NORTH SAILS long term
compatibility is still valid.

basic length by cutting the plastic
tubing.
15 VARIO RACE LINES
Harness lines as used by the professionals. The length can be adjusted seamlessly while sailing. The abrasion resistant, non swinging tube lines can be
fixed in place without the need to disassemble the boom and adjustment to
the best position can be done in
seconds.
