Get Gas. If your only local is low-wind or the forecast breeze never fills in as promised, take a deep breath of Helium. Helium is essential kit in your quiver because when Mother Nature says no, you can reply with “well, actually - yes”. Guaranteed to bring you all the planing highs of stronger wind conditions, Helium satisfies the need for speed with Big Bang acceleration to get you going faster, faster. It’s the most powerful sail in the freeride collection with a smooth twin-cam profile - stable to the point of being inert - giving you more predictable control over the elements. And when the breeze fills in, Helium responds with confidence so you can handle temperamental gusts and increased wind velocity without losing a breath. Helium - even on light days you can still get the high.

Up and away

Extreme early planing and lift in light winds from deep, pronounced, central to backhand oriented profile.

Weight loss programmed

Progressive use of monofilm thickness keeps H@ light up top and strong down low.

Only the strong will survive

Five full battens and a flex head batten maintain the balance between light weight and low-end power.

Can't see them for dust

Exceptional early planing from moderate luff curve and medium sail body tension.

Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide

Ultracam Freeride affords a greatly reduced sleeve width with less weight overall.

The reinforcements are in place, captain

Load-specific reinforcement puts critical strength where it's needed most, without waste or excess weight.

What's new this year

• Ultracam F.R provides top performance of regular ultracam in a compact design with facilitated rotation
• Through compact Ultracam F.R design, it was possible to reduce the sleeve width in order to save weight
• Significantly increased dynamic compact clew increasing optimum wind-range and help the rider maintain a stable position and control over the board
• Full KevlarTM tape leech reinforcement
• Dyneema® x-ply reinforced foot clew and luff areas
• Unnecessary laminated graphic elements removed from the sail
• Laminated KevlarTM radial reinforcement on clew and tack
• EVA molded, integrated single clew grommet construction
