Eagle SLS

With the EAGLE and the brand-new BLITZ we offer 2 boards for the freeride >< freerace segment covering everything from learning to plain up to being the fastest sailor at your spot. Switching to our unique FULL CUSTOM SLS TECHNOLOGY we were able to reduce the weights by up to 250 grams. With this these boards offer the best weight vs. durability ratio in their class.

EAGLE or BLITZ - which one is the right freeride><freerace board for you?

Where you come from >< Where it will take you

1) EAGLE: IT’S ALL ABOUT PLANING

• Where you come from: you had your first Windsurfing experience and are capable of staying upwind. There is no other board which will help you to experience the gliding/planing sensation in such a short time than the EAGLE. 
• Where it will take you: besides getting planing, jibing is the second strength of the EAGLE. But it’s not just made for learning to (power)jibe but will even accompany you up to freerace blasting and laydown jibing 

2) BLITZ: MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE WITH MINIMUM EFFORT

• Where you come from: you are comfortable of sailing in the foot straps then the BLITZ is your performance machine. 
• Where it will take you: the BLITZ will instantly make you a faster sailor. Since it’s also very easy to jibe it will be your partner from your first power jibes up to pro level laydown race jibes. Partnered with a high performance fin and a freerace sail you might even become the fastest guy at your spot with the BLITZ, whilst still maintaining the comfort of a freeride board.

The EAGLE was designed with the following objectives:

> Super early (passive) planing

> Automatic/instinctive jibing

> Maximum wind range and control even in choppy conditions 

This makes the EAGLE the perfect intermediate to advanced board which will accompany you from your first planing attempts all the way through to blasting and laydown jibing. 

To achieve these characteristics the team around Dani Aeberli (Product Manager Boards) have developed the VOLUME YET CONTROL CONCEPT:

• The slightly longer and therefore less curved outline allows us to increase the volume by up to 30 litres compared to short-curved boards (e.g. Fanatic Gecko or Tabou Rocket) without any loss of control. 
• The extra volume though results in a much more confident, predictable and relaxed riding position especially in underpowered or sub-planing conditions. 

>> This leads to an unbeatable, broad range of use.

The slightly longer and therefore less curved outline also offers 2 additional important advantages:

1) It prevents the board from turning unnecessarily into the wind which lets the Eagle get onto a plane almost automatically

2) It prevents the board from bouncing around even in rough chop which becomes an issue with wide-curved boards 

The maneuver-oriented rail shape allows for an effortlessness and predictable jibing behavior as the thin rails require less pressure to initiate the turn. This is ideal for jibing novices or to increase your lay-down jibing success rate. 

Yet even for an advanced sailor the EAGLE is anything but a boring board to sail. It almost feels like a longer version of the BLITZ since it shares a very similar scoop-rocker line.
