Kontrol 2005

Slalom/Freeride... Test winner in the UK Windsurf Magazine for 2004. Given the outstanding feedback, the 2005 design is unchanged with improvements to the construction. Two leach battens were added to the Kontrol early in 2004. For 2005 it has three to give it further stability in extreme winds. Targeted at slalom and freeride sailors looking for performance and speed, this no cam sail takes its pedigree from the Koncept/Formula.

What riders say about this sail:

Bart Goemans, Windhouse Texel, Holland: March 28 2005
Yesterday I got to surf the Kontrol 7.8 for the first time (with Lorch Breeze S white line / 44 cm Hurricane SRA). The KA blew me away! We drag-raced on the open sea from the southtip of Texel to the North and back (75 km) with 15 - 21 knots of offshore wind with a slight upwind leg and a half/downwind leg back. Upwind it was a bit difficult keeping up with a 8.4 RS4 NP / Hypersonic 105, but on our way back half/downwind the speed & control was just incredible and I just accelerated far out of reach. So much speed: the other guys were looking for the cambers! They could NOT believe there are none.
I am very very looking forward to the Koncept now!!!! Bart, info@windhouse.nl

Isabelle, California: March 2005
I used the Kontrol 7.2 with my formula board yesterday and I'm completely stoked!!! This sail is awesome man! So powerful, yet light and easy to control! This is the best sail I've ever used in that category! I'll spread the word on these sails. We have one guy in Petaluma who will start selling them this season. I meet a Swede guy who's sailing a 5.8 Kult in Waddell and he praised it at length. I can't wait to get mine out on the water! I'm really glad I bought them!!!
Have a good one! Isabelle
