Wave...
The
Kaos continues to build on the highly regarded
2003 line with the addition of a 3.7 and 5.0.
The
design has been enhanced with luff curve modification
and a refined leach profile. Reinforcing patches have
be reconfigured to further improve durability.
Of
course the design reflects the handling and light
feel that Kaos is loved for.
What riders say about
this sail:
Andy Abendroth, Germany:
Last weekend I tested the new 5.3 Koas in rough and
choppy conditions (shifty wind between 15-35 knots,
temperatures 3-10 degrees celsius) on the Lake Constance
(South Germany). Never before Ì´ve had
so much fun with only one sail the whole day... :-)
It works perfectly all over the wind range, it's the
best sail for typical European condition. Thanks for
your support.
Günter Lorch, Testing in
the south of France..
I tested the new 4.7 Kaos in Hyeres. Conditions were
side-on-shore wind 20-30+ knots.
I can tell you this is the best 4.7 I have ever used
and I am sure you must not change the profile shape
for the next 8 years! I used a skinny 400cm, the sail
works perfectly on it.
I gave the sail to a young girl (50Kg) to test in
15-20 knots, she was so happy
she got tears in here eyes after 3 hours surfing.
Mark Stone, WA:
Used the 2004 5.3 at Coro yesterday, 4.7 at Spot
X today, felt great especially after using those spongey
e***'s. Sails rigged much easier this year, looser
head was much better, colors are good.
Best week so far, once tuned, the 4.2 can handle a
lot of wind. Last monday, 30 people on the beach ,
20 on the dunes at Coronation just watching, 30 knots,
mast high sets, it was crazy.
Duncan Banks, Victoria:
Just thought I would update you on my thoughts of
the 2004 Kaos. In lighter wind, I found it hard to
tell the difference, but when the wind picks up and
I have to flatten of the sail, it definitely feels
a bit more stable compared to the 2003 models.The
adjustable head on the 5.3m is definitely better.
I am really happy with the sails. They feel light
and responsive yet are super strong (they have had
a fair pounding in the surf) and they look good on
the water. And I know everyone who has bought one
are really happy with the product.
