What is it?

The Kaos is a world class wave sail built to perform in the toughest conditions.

The 2008 design layout provides a soft feel that excels for fast wave riding and neutral manoeuvres.

Giving plenty of pull to get going fast in side on conditions, the Kaos tunes over a massive range.

Built to survive yet super light and responsive in the hands for easy transitions and controlled airtime.

Wherever you chose to go big, take it on with the Kaos.

Design and construction..

Focus on improved overall performance with luff curve / twist characteristics modified.

These changes deliver better control and speed while still delivering neutral wave riding capability.

Tuning has been improved with downhaul load shifted away from luff pocket to sail body making the Kaos less susceptible to mast difference, allowing for a wider range of downhaul tension without distorting sail and better shape retainment as pocket material gets softer with age.

Super tough build with Kevlar x-ply perimeter, x-ply and solid a-ply and double Dacron luff pocket.

What's New:

  • New material selection incorporating new X-Ply, Kevlar X-ply, Solid X-Ply and in selected colours Metal-Xply
  • Double layer Luff Panel
  • New cloth configuration to improve visibility in foot area
  • Symmetric batten pockets
  • Rigid top batten for strength, controlled twist
  • Enhanced mini battens
  • New Kevlar mast foot pad

Colour options: Red,Blue,Orange,F/Yellow

Feedback:

Markus Koloska, British Columbia, Canada:
4.7: Wicked sail, just as great as the 2007 one, love the grunt for the onshore conditions, disappears on the wave, total control at all times in heavy gusts is exceptional!!  Excellent improvements on the tie strap (my only complaint about last year's), very cool looking new graphics and metalX.  Very flashy, tough to get lost from the beach, haha!
