A mates really rough with his gear and is in need of a bullet proof wave sail. Doesn,t have to be super fast or light. Not my area of expertise so no Koncepts for him. I did have an old KA GSX that survived being blown into the local pier, but it long gone now..... so whats a great solid sail.

My old KA KULT 6.4 that I bought s/hand a few years ago (from a pit crew speed sailor) has been put through the ringer & is still hanging in there. 110kgs swinging off it, various shore-break mishaps, catapults & basically crashes from having 'ambition that outweighs ability'. The luff sleeve is ripped (had to do a broken mast extraction about 500m offshore a while back), the mid panel has a few dents in it from various catapults (harness hook), but not one tear in the sail & still going strong!

I reckon you can't go past a Kaos, around the 4.5 mark. These things are so tuff, they decide who rides them!

I had one for ages... survived being bounced around and banged up around the inlet... due to my carefree use

I think I know where there might be one.....I'll let you know!!!!

A Kaos 4.5, I thought someone in IWC used one for ages - cannot remember who it was - Can anyone help me out with a name that we could pass onto Kato

or dinting it on a rock like usual

Ha ha.. yeah... Can I borrow your 29.25cm venom again??

Is it easy rig a Kaos 4.5? Never tried one that small

simmer sails are extemely bullet proof they are light but still strong and durable

Nazsail, There is actually no 4.5 Kaos, the sizes are 4.2 then 4.7. I used my 2012 4.7 for the first time Thursday at Ricketts and had a ball.
There is also the new Killer if you want a grunty, power wave sail, same sizes. With Killer you can almost go a size smaller as it has big amounts of bottom end power. Great for those sailors like me who challenge the bathroom scales and don't like pumping
Both full Xply construction.

I guess there were a few small wave sails getting used late yesterday, it cranked.
