I have 2 Retros (I love that sail !) and I am considering buying the third one (5.5-6.0) but...maybe I should buy Revo ? For freeride and maybe to try sail faster and faster :)
Anybody knows them both ? - any advice would be helpful.

hi mate, i know more than most about sailworks sails, the revo wave sails are a great sail, this is all i use from surf to flat water, alot of fella's who own retros run a revo as there small sail under 6m, but it depends on where you sail, if you never get into the surf and don't like trying new jumps and that sort of thing go for another Retro, the hucker is a great sail if you like to do bump 'n ' jump, they jump like a demon and have a massive wind range. the Retro or hucker would be the faster option, the revo would be more for control.

Why I love Retro ? Easy to rig, huuge wind range, easy tunable-can be bloody fast, very strong-well made, but what I love the most is how perfectly controllable and stable (high wind) sail it is.
I do free only and hope to start speed within next 6 months. So...what should I choose ?

I have used sailworks since day dot.
I used to have a retro for lighter winds but found a larger revo could do just as good a job. I have four sails 5.8/5.2/4.6/4.2m. With a 75lt fanatic newwave, 88lt freewave and a 100lt Skate ,that covers a large range of conditions for me. I weight in at 78 kilos.
Just got my new revos the other day. Used a 5.2 yesterday. Sweet
