WHY POINT-7
DEVELOPMENT
A brand name which originates from the windsurf Racing scene. The sailor who crosses the finishing line first will receive 0.7 points. Point-7 being the winning score. Second place receives a 2 point score, third place a 3 point score and so forth. At the end of the event, the total race-score for each sailor gets added up and whoever has the lowest score wins the event. It is often the Point-7 score which gives us the final difference between the true winner and the rest.As with many things, it’s the small differences that play out in the larger picture, and this is the very definition of our products. We believe in competition, we believe in a strong Black Team to prove our products and raise the game!
From day one as we decided to make our own sail range; we knew that for us to be competitive and stand up against the competition we would have to offer the best possible quality, performance and service to our clients.The materials we use are all produced in the United States, our wave and freeride lines are reinforced constructed with X-ply and all sails made with UV resistant materials.The aggressive look of the sails is constructed with essential materials only. All sails are developed year round by the P7 BLACK TEAM to obtain the best feeling, guaranteeing you an unbeatable sailing experience. The development runs in 3 important stages and locations. The Canary Islands being used during the winter period, where the sails are tested in various conditions from light offshore winds to the strongest conditions that the islands has to offer. During the summer months development and testing then moves to Lake Garda in Italy to complete the range of use of products: 2 great locations which combined offer a wide variety of conditions and levels of windsurfing. The final stage of testing is when the sails are being brought out on the race courses to measure the latest technology and performance of the sails against the competition.

Utilizing the newest technologies and materials available; Point-7 sails are always one step ahead. Using primarily UV stabile materials, the expected life of a sail is prolonged substantially.All year non-stop testing of materials and sails in all various conditions, warrants unbeatable quality in the products.30 unique details are worked in on each sail line to ensure durability and less wear. The Point-7 masts are made in Italy. By having the mast production based in Italy, it’s possible to have a continuous development into new products and ensuring that the standard on all products are second to none; both in the quality of materials being used and the craftsmanship. The masts are produced using the Prepreg-Autoclave process which creates an extremely homogenous carbon/resin mix under high pressure. Using a newly patented procedure which allows the resin to be distributed in equal quantities around the mast walls, which assist to guarantee an equal curve of the mast no matter how it is turned in the sail.
Our interest is to give you the best sail quiver and typology to optimize your fun. This is why you have an online customer care service at your disposal. This service is managed by our Chief TesterAndrea Cucchi. Together with each distributor we have chosen excellent windsurfers who can support you with the best advice available online.

WHY BLACKWe wanted to give a special look to our sails. Something which would have been standing out from other products. Something beautiful, elegant and aggressive. At the same time we had seen the black sails at the Americas Cup. They looked like we wanted. We ordered the Black Monofilm in the US. We had asked them if it was possible to have a UV test on the material, and the results were amazing. Much longer lasting against the UV rays of the sun, compared to any other monofilm colour. Passing the heat and UV ray tests, there was no other reason why not to go black!

RIDER COMMENT: ANDREA CUCCHIWe put so much passion and energy into developing this winning race sail, and now the result of this work is available for everyone to enjoy. After the massively successful 2013 season with PWA wins and podiums we are extremely proud to continue the heritage and looking forward to what this new season will bring to our team. The black team exploded in 2013 with many new names joining the team and one of the most satisfying results was to see how everyone improved their results from their previous years. Now with the new improvements, the AC-1 has become easier to handle and will also suit a more general use than just pure racing. Those who will choose the AC-1 for their quiver for the first will be left breathless by the sheer performance of this rig, those who know the range will be nothing but smile from ear to ear with the ease of the rig and its mechanical functionality and overall performance.

RIDER COMMENT: ANDREA CUCCHIWe are fortunate to have a lot of talented formula sailors in our team. We are super excited to have stepped up the development on this one, as it will be great to get 100% back into the discipline of formula sailing! We know how selective the Formula passionate sailors are, so we have worked towards their expectations. We have worked towards delivering a sail ready to free competitors from any uncomfortable situation without having to tack away. The chance to point high and going with more speed upwind, comfort, which is what you need when sailing these oversize sails!

RIDER COMMENT: BLACK TEAM We raced the AC-K against the AC-1 sail out on the race course often during our slalom training in Tenerife this winter. When getting a good start, nothing would hold back this sail and you could win races. In the jibe the sail is so easy and very forgiving if you should not be doing a perfect jibe or be a little hesitant. The sail is fast, powerful and easy in the hands. It’s the perfect sail to go racing for fun and keep over taking the other guys out on the water!!

RIDER COMMENT: BLACK TEAM Most of the time this kind of sail, is used on slightly larger volume boards and in light conditions where you won’t get over powered by the wind. So with the HF we wanted to make sure to have a sail which is light and agile to but still get planning early with a continuous power delivery which would be easy to control. Special attention was put towards the manoeuvrability of the sail so that it does exactly as the rider wants it to do.

Lots of pop, a super nice entry profile that lets you throw the sail around like you want it and a sail that truly delivers every time.Enjoy my baby, and let’s catch up on the water soon. A+

RIDER COMMENT: ADAM LEWIS 3 year of nonstop development. With the new SALT I have given it my very best to develop this pure wave sail that is orientated towards very new school wave riding. With the SALT 4g and its new development the critical moments: like landing a no hand back loop or during a wave 360 have become a lot easier. I went through every little detail of the sail and am enjoying every moment I get with this baby out on the water. This sail has brought me to top 10 in PWA.

RIDER COMMENT: ADAM LEWISThe Swag was developed as a new concept sail. To go ultra-light and make the most freaky sail for wave riding and going sky high. The whole idea about 3 battens made us go really into detail to get the stability of the sail to be second to none. In the end the stability of this sail might even outweigh some of the other sails we have in our ranges. The result is a super fun sail, that really lets you play with the wave. Loads of easy to control forward drive that sets you off on the wave when you want for it, and turns completely off during manoeuvres. The Swag is without a doubt the most fun sail I have ever used! The Swag is the perfect companion for any session going free- sailing and just playing in the waves.

RIDER COMMENT: MARTIN TEN HOEVEThe SADO has power and loads if it. I’m over 2 meter tall and weigh in over 90kilos and the SADO delivers every time with the power needed to get up on the wave or out of the squeeze zone. The ease of this sail in rough conditions is amazing; it retains its profile and stability over an extremely wide wind range making it perfect for the gusty conditions we have in the North Sea. Something the SADO have over other wave sails is speed, and this gets me going and when going for air it is as being shot out of a rocket.

BOOMS
The new SC100 being introduced is the fruit of extensive testing on curves, grip diameters and rigidity. The boom ensures an equal load distribution to both of the rider arms and both feet, giving an extremely comfortable stance that will allow its user to sail for longer with less fatigue- making it easier to push harder!
The 2 wave boom sizes have been developed with 25mm octagon shaped tubes, resulting in superior rigidity compared to normal circular tubes, as well as being comfortable to the grip.
