*NEW* Ezzy 2012 Cheetah & Tiger Sails

Posted on by Emile Kott

Here a snapshot of what’s coming in January 2012 Ezzy has changed the Panther 3 to the new Ezzys Tiger 2012.

It has the same panel layout and shape as the Panther 2011 LTD  Click here to see the 2011 Ezzy Panther III

The Panther Ltd has been very well received with its new improved power range an- lighter handling and unique custom graphics.
The Ezzy Tiger has graphics and panel layout and new striking colours -see the pic of of Kevin Prichard smashing the lip at Hookipa Maui Hawaii.

The new Cheetah which is the replacement for the Ezzy Freeride. What you will get with the new sails is a reduction in overall sail weight as well as softer, lighter feel in your hands on the water without compromising the unusual strong and light wind performance you get from Ezzy sails.

We will be getting more details but this is all we have so far .

Cabrinha 2012 Kites and Kiteboards

Posted on by Emile Kott

Here is a sneak preview of all of the 2012 Cabrinha kite and kiteboard gear. New boards, new kites and new kite bars.

Cabrinha have a very nice looking set of new graphics for 2012 and a couple of new models called the Vector and Drifter. The Vector is a surf and freeride kite and the Drifter is a pure surf orientated kite. Both of the kites are 3-strut designs.

The Nomad, Crossbow and Switchblade have all been retuned this year. All are lighter in feel for 2012 with improved tuning and balance.

They have improved the 2012 Quick Link kitebar too.

They have a new surfboard construction with a cork laminate as opposed to wood:

As you can see, it’s pretty strong!

There is a new Freeride board called the Transport – an uber-light-wind twin fin board, based on a detuned raceboard.

New 2011 Dakine T5 Windsurfing Harness

Posted on by Emile Kott
The dakine T5 windsurfing harness has been up graded this season I had chance to test last year when Jason from Dakine dropped off a sample on a windy day at West Wittering to try.
From the pics you can can see a more sculpted shape to the harness it feels more compact on your body over the Dakine T4,T3 and previous models. 
It has the same bar system with choices of 12 10 and 6 inch bars and comes with Da Kines posi lock replaceable harness strap system. The double waist band has now been replaced by a single elastic waist strap.
What you can see in the photos is a new neoprene surround to the harness and a triple reinforced strapping stitched into the body of the harness .It feels good on the water I tried against my Dakine T4 and I would say it felt stiffer and more supportive. The moulded construction sticks to your suit helps prevent riding up and always feels good and protects your back when your in boardies.
Not sure the pea green was my favourite colour we have ordered some better colours we have Black and white in stock.
New rrp £ 139.00 sizes still the same as 2010.
