The bullet’s back and faster than ever.
Whether you’re a pro racer with World Cup aspirations or you simply possess that extra will to win, trythe Z1. In the hands of this year’s <strong>Neil</strong> <strong>Pryde</strong> team riders, it’s proved itself to be deadly.The most winning sail ever – since itslaunch in late 1997, the Z1 has dominated racingat all levels, all over the world. From the US OpenRace Sailsto the National Championships in USA, Japan,Britain, France, Germany and the Benelux countries,sailors using the revolutionary Z1 have cleanedup, with six out of the current top ten racers onthe World Tour using the sail. The Z1 is a racingthoroughbred, born out of a decade of World Cupwinning design know-how.It’s the Shear Tip that gives the Z1 its power andrange. Thanks to its angular profile, the Shear Tipminimizes drag. It also helps control the twist ofthe sail, reduces leech flutter and produces clearlysuperior upwind performance. The new Z1 planformhas a reduced luff length which requires shortermasts, this in turn creates a more stable rig that’seasier to handle and gives a smoother ride.Whether you’re a racer with World Cup aspirationsor you simply possess that extra will to win, youshould try the Z1.

It delivers WorldCup speed and enormous power in an easy to rig,easy to sail package perfectly suited to productionfreeride, slalom and race boards.This year, the design was influenced by thesuccessful Z1 race sails. The exclusive Shear Tipensures aerodynamic efficiency, perfect twist, andearly planing. The Shear Tip profile uses shortermasts, effectively lowering the centre of gravity ofthe rig and minimizing swing-weight during gybesand water starts. The combination of a mediumvolume,conic luff pocket made from new Lufflite7 and Kevlar AirFrame construction makes theV8 lighter than ever, while fewer cams makehandling better and rigging and tuning even easier.The V8 comes with an impressive design pedigree,after seven years of constant refinement it regularlytops influential magazine tests. So hook in, holdon and feel the power.Kevlar Air FrameThe Kevlar Airframe is aseries of linked Kevlarbands running along the leech and from the clewinto the sail and is incorporated into all of our 1999sails.

A Freestyle sail that has all the moves.
Power, response and control.
The NR has the power and responsiveness that Bjorn Dunkerbeck needs to aggressively rip in any wave,from his home break in Gran Canaria to the onshores of Europe or the side shore trades in Maui.The new NR, has all the power and range you’dexpect from a sail built for a World Champion. It’sbeen designed with all the responsiveness andcontrol Bjorn Dunkerbeck needs to aggressivelyrip in any wave, from his home break in GranCanaria to the onshores of Europe or the sideshore trades in Maui.This year, Nils Rosenblad has designed a productionNR that’s as close as possible to Bjorn’s ideal forwhat a wavesail should be. Bjorn always wantsmore power, but in the past Nils has held back.This time, he’s totally unleashed it and given Bjorneverything he always wanted in the way of powerand range.The first thing you’ll notice is that the new NR hasa much deeper profile. Nils also firmed up theleech to give the sail the ability to surge upwindand plane in very light, gusty winds. This year’sNR has the power and speed to tackle just aboutanything you’re willing to charge at, yet it remainsincredibly easy to control, thanks to its newBlockHead configuration.Luff Pocket MaterialsLufflex, woven from tough polyester, is usedin Wave and Freestyle sails where durabilityis a key consideration.

It’s designed to cut through the wavesas fast as Jason Polakow. The sail handles hissignature bottom turns and down-the-line moveswith knife-like precision.Jason joined Team <strong>Pryde</strong> in November 1997 andNils Rosenblad was faced with designing asignature sail for arguably the most stylishwavesailor in the world. Jason’s sailing style reflectshis early roots in surfing. He’s light on his feet andlikes a sail that’s easy to handle and gives him allthe control he needs. Nils put an extra long battenin the bottom of the sail to help shift the powerdown low and forward. The foil on Zone was madeflatter with more twist at the top so the power spillsaway and the sail easily de-powers for down theline carving.

Light Tip Technology has made our1999 masts among the lightest,strongest and fastest we’ve everproduced. Our new booms give yougreater performance, thanks to astraighter aft section and new armsdesigned to get you closer to thesail. Our aluminum booms are lighterand we’ve introduced small diametercarbon and aluminum wave boomswhich are easier to grip. Also, checkthe new low profile race base thatbrings your rig closer to the boardfor more power and acceleration.
Two halves are better than one.The latest generation of <strong>Neil</strong> <strong>Pryde</strong> mastsare manufactured using an innovative methodof construction known as Light Tip Technology(LTT), in which each half of the mast is madeseparately. Why? Because each half has adramatically different function to perform.As the name implies, Light Tip Technologymasts are designed with super-light topsections. This gives the mast a higher reflexspeed, which keeps your rig in optimum trimand gives you a smoother ride. A light top alsogives the mast a lower centre of gravity andwith less ‘swing weight’, your rig is easier tohandle in manoeuvres.Meanwhile, the bottom sections of LTT mastsare built to take a beating. Ninety per cent ofbreakages occur in the bottom or boomsections of masts, so LTT masts all have beenreinforced through this entire section to giveyou strength where you need it, without addingunnecessary weight.Thanks to the major benefits of new Light TipTechnology, our range of masts for 1999 areamong the lightest, strongest and fastest wehave ever made.The mast of choice for maximum performance at minimum weight. Developed fromthe CK95, with improved reflex speed and weight, the Race is optimised to theperformance characteristics of the Z1 racing sail but is also a perfect upgrade for our freeride/race sails.The fastest and most responsive mast in the ’99 range, it is a must for any high performance racer.Dimensions: 430cm (IMCS21/1.65kg). 460cm (IMCS25/1.80kg)490cm (IMCS29/2.00kg). 520cm (IMCS32/2.15kg)The lightest wave masts ever offered by <strong>Neil</strong> <strong>Pryde</strong>.

Total integration in carbon and aluminium.On all of this year’s booms we’ve finetunedthe curvature on the arms to bring thesailor closer to the sail, providing a firmer,more direct response from the rig. The aftsection of the arms has been straightened toallow easier sheeting-in for better performanceupwind and during powered-up manoeuvres.The aluminium tail is now a stiffer one-piecedesign that reduces flex allowing the sail tomaintain its correctly tuned shape.This year’s booms are lighter, lowering theswing weight and making manoeuvres,uphauling and waterstarting much easier,while a new lightweight, moulded cleat hasbeen designed to improve the stiffness andutility without adding excess weight. This yearwe’re also using higher-grade aluminium alloysand thinner wall tubing to create even lighteraluminium booms.There are two new additions to the ’99 rangeof bases, a super light Carbon 00, optimisedfor racing and wave sailing and a new RaceBase with a low profile mechanical universaljoint for bringing the rig as close as possibleto the deck of the board and transmitting morepower for greater speed and immediateacceleration. Unlike traditional tendons, thereplaceable damping thermoplastic centreblockminimises vertical shock without affectinglateral force.

Practical comfort and reliability.Each year <strong>Neil</strong> <strong>Pryde</strong> designers look for newand innovative ways to improve the harnesscollection. This year, with a successful rangealready established, they were able to focuson refinements. They looked at ways to improveback support, new shaping to provide morecomfort, and how to give you more freedom.Take our spreader bars for example. This year,there are two curvatures, a normal curve forseat harnesses where the bar ends sit on thehip bones and an increased curve for waistharnesses so the bar sits more comfortablyaround the stomach.The designers examined every area on everyharness for possible improvement. The legstraps have been covered in a smooth nylonto reduce any possible abrasion to wetsuits.The Automatic Spreader Bar System has beenreinforced with upgraded ratchet bands anda tougher locking system. This year the rangeis also larger, with two new harnesses –Freewave (available in Standard and Automatic)and Freeride (in Standard and Automatic formen and women), to compliment the two newFreeride and Freestyle disciplines.Technical Information1.
