That blue color is alright... but I bet they won't sell to many of those green fluro sails... I mean seriously is their designer color blind?

The Combat looks alright but that Wizard and The Fly look horrendous. Looks like I will be sticking with my 2015 Combat HD's which were and are the best looking sails on the water in my opinion.

I think both colour schemes are alright. Combat is the better one by far.
At least they will stand out in the sea of red sails....

I gave you a green thumb to stand out in the sea of red thumbs, not for any other reason.

weird looking baggy bits/wrinkles all over the place on that last shot. Maybe the colours are to distract us from looking at the sail

The sails are really ugly.

What material is it? Look like my old myler sails with the pvc window.

It all looks a bit retro like '60s laminex.
Next year it will be beige like an old man's cardie.
Yea I'm looking forward to it, a nice slow comfy beige sail and a zimmer frame.

yeah, stuff all this retro poo, with it's bright colours and what not, they need to have some reflective silver stuff in the sails (space age), like severne from 2006, those were the days, feeling the heat of the sun reflected during winter for 5 min, and i could make sure my hair was looking good before the walk up the stairs, yeah give me reflective stuff and mono film any day over these modern materials that look like old materials, because mono film never gets old.

Distinct lack of seams and joins mmmm... maybe Pryde have made the big jump to full 3D printed panels al Avanti and Severne

Interesting times in sail design, wonder if they got a similar drop in weight.

^^^ Whoah, dude. Are you from the future?

I like this. Raked baaaaaaaack. Some genius is going to figure out that this is the way to break 55 knots.

And I dunno, I kinda like the fluro sails. Some say windsurfing died because of clear monofilm.

90s sails were all monofilm. 80s sails were the ones with the bright fluro colours.

Used some 2016 NP sails on Maui three weeks ago, rented from Adventure Sports (I highly recommend AS, Gus really looked after us). Used 6.7 Hellcat, 7.2 Hornet, 6.0 Ryde, 5.8 Atlas

Th

e new JP excite ride 125L and the 6.7 Hellcat in 18 knots at Sprecks was a great match. Likewise the 5.8 Atlas matched with the 102 JP FSW was awesome at Kanaha. Trip of a lifetime!
