The sail’s low-end performance is outstanding, thanks to a well-tuned twist and profile planform, which helps you get planing quickly even in lighter winds.
Construction.
Built with top-quality materials, the Nexus 11 is designed to last and maintain its performance over time. Rigging is easy, and the sail is compatible with both RDM and SDM masts, offering excellent mast adaptability.
Window & Body panels: Monofilm, for its lightweight and affordable properties.
Load Panels: 2.5 mil Scrim from Dimension-Polyant is a polyester scrim with X-PLY, designed for reduced weight while still offering the reduced stretch of a traditional X-PLY-only product.
Foot and tack panel: 4 mil Aramid Scrim features an upgraded scrim with larger denier fibers, while maintaining the high tenacity of aramid X-PLY. It has a significantly greater tear and puncture resistance in the highest-impact area.
Description.
The Nexus 11 Freeride sail has undergone a significant redesign, aimed at improving its user-friendliness across a wider wind range. It combines the easy handling of a wave sail with the power and size of a freeride sail, making it incredibly versatile.
The booms are shorter, which makes the sail easier to handle. The foot has been cut higher to improve maneuverability, allowing for smoother transitions and better control in various conditions. The twist has also been updated to provide smooth power delivery, especially when gusts hit, ensuring a responsive and controlled ride.
Speed.
Astonishingly fast, yet graced with user-friendliness, easy handling, incredible versatility, improved maneuverability and smooth power delivery.
Outline.
Shorter boom lengths by several centimeters across the range (for example, -7cm on the 6.4), which makes the sail easier to handle. The foot has been cut higher to improve maneuverability, allowing for smoother transitions and better control in various conditions.
Agility.
The Nexus 11 delivers simple, fast, and exciting freeride windsurfing, making it the perfect choice for anyone looking to enjoy the thrill of windsurfing across a wide wind range.
Stretch Control
Increases the stability and range of our sails by keeping the lower section full, the midsection stable, and the top section properly twisting. Resulting in a lighter handling sail with a highly comfortable feeling.
CNC Battens
Lightweight, CAD-shaped, CNC-machined, ultra-durable, custom thickness, and tailored taper battens.
Double Stitching
Around the main window, providing torsional strength, increased durability by reinforcing key load zones, and blended transitions between different panel materials.
Rip Stop Sleeve
The sleeve material on all our sails is a special weave that prevents tears from traveling and holes from widening, making your sail look and perform better for longer.
Folded Sleeve Edge
Along the rear edges of the mast sleeve, preventing fraying and premature wear and tear.
Tack Fairing
Molded and stitched, this ultra-durable tack fairing offers protection for your board and feet, aerodynamics around your extension, and a place to store your downhaul rope. Made from abrasion-resistant textile, it even protects itself.
Window.
Maximized Window. The Nexus 11 has a window maximized for its Freeride use case, while omitting the Extended Window of the Banzai, which in turn is catering to visibility down the line and at the lip while bottom turning in wave sailing.
Black Window Frame. For best optics through the sail, ultra-low reflection, ultra-low distraction. The black frame has been a conscious as well as a unifying choice and provides a total vision of your surroundings.
Compared.
Nexus Evo vs. Nexus.
Both sails are virtually the same in terms of weight. Regarding performance and feel, the Evo has a slight edge due to its use of Warp Carbon. Furthermore, the Evo, with its augmented Bi-Ply body panels, is more visual and colorful, as well as durable, due to its increased Bi-Ply UV resistance and longevity. Nexus, the regular Monofilm version, comes as the “less is more” option, visually, while its film should be handled with a touch more attention and care.
