Wir präsentieren das Patrik X-Cross Segel.
BUMP AND JUMP WITH MAXIMUM RANGE OF USE FROM FLATWATER TO WAVES!
5 Batten
High End
Soft Luff-Panel
Normal Aspect.
OVERVIEW
The X-Cross most probably is the most versatile sail on the market. From freeride blasting in flatwater to busting airs in the waves of Australia, this sail can do it all. A 5-batten concept based on our successful 5Wave wave sail incorporates the newest ideas and tweaks of Patrik Diethelm and Fabio Canelle to become everybodies darling. The small sizes are more manouver-orientated while the bigger sizes are designed to be perfect flatwater and bump-and-jump joy machines.

CONSTRUCTION
This sail should be ready to join you in almost any conditions. Construction-wise the X-Cross is a clever mix of our Wave and Freeride lines. The sail bottom part is made of same 4 MIL x/scrim-ply material found on 4-Wave and 5-Wave, since this is the most critical area for impacts. The main window is a solid and thick 5 MIL monofilm which provides best combo between visibility, impact resistance and weight. For the top part of the sail, we choose a 4 MIL blue tinted monofilm, which is lighter and adds UV-resistance where you don't need to see through. The luff panel is still made by a soft dacron (again, same as our wave sails) that adds extra power on demand into the sail. As a further bonus, we chose a white 5 MIL x-ply and blue 2.5 MIL x/scrim-ply along leech and top panel, to add a touch of wear resistance to an area which is always stressed while rigging and rolling the sail.
TRIM
The X-Cross can be rigged in many different ways: From baggy wave style to high-tension freeride with a more pronounced loose leech... Just take this sail whereever you like and adjust its trim accordingly.
PRO TIPS
"I love the X-Cross for any fun windsurfing here in Australia. I will use it in small waves, bump-and-jump conditions and for freeriding. It feels light in my hands but it's strong enough to take a small beating. If I had to pick only one sail from our range to travel the globe it would most probably be the X-Cross. It's the best sail I've ever had. "
