2009 feedback

The 2009 Kaos is surreal!
If you're looking for the only wave sail that is that powerful,
completely draft-stable and at the same time goes 100% neutral in the
transitions, this is the one.
This sail rewards active sailors immensely. You can pump or feather
it. You can trim it deep for power and flat for slippery speed down
the wave face. It has tons of 'grip' and gives you real, positive
feedback. No floppy, rubbery feel but true, reliable power with a
magic on/off switch.
The build quality is now beyond what even the most hard core wave
sailor needs. Zero monofilm. Wide-spaced scrim in the window area for
maximum visibility. A Kevlar-reinforced perimeter.
You will never again be stranded out on the reef with a blown panel
rendering your entire sail useless. The centre foot panel is now made
from kevlar scrim - try to put your knee through that.
There's absolutely nothing I'd rather use!
