Anyone tried either of the Loft LIP wave sails, or the Loft O2 freeride sails?
Opinions?
Thanks,

I have a quiver of 06 Lip Waves. (4.3,4.7,5.2 and 5.7). The construction and attention to detail in these sails is really good. They are better built and have a better wind range than my previous quiver of KA kaos, although they are slightly heavier. I am reasonably heavy (87kg) and these sails have stood up well to my course efforts at wavesailing. My wife likes them because they have a velcro padded & handled mast foot thing that makes them easy to rig.

I have a 5.2 06 lip, and its a great sail. easy to rig, easy to sail. depowers in the bottom turn, plus plenty of go on the flats. Also has a pretty decent wind range. I have used it when other ppl where over powered on 4.5/4 m sails (though my arms hurt afterwards)

I have 2006 5.9 and 6.6 O2's from Loft. They work really well with my JP Super-X 106, and for a freeride sail I found them surprisingly fast but easy to handle as you do not have to deal with cambers.
I also have couple of 2006 Lip wave sails and especially the 4.7 is great whith my 78L JP freestyle wave board. They are realy well buid as I found out during my numerous attempts on wave sailing.

Whats the visibility like with the wave sails when lining up the lip from the bottom turn?
