Sabre RT – Slalom & GPS Speed

The revolutionary SABRE RT slalom fin has changed our thoughts on high performance windsurfing fins. When Tom first raised the concept back in the Spring and made the first prototypes the R&D team were a little hesitant but when they hit then water everything changed. Sometimes you have to free yourself from preconceived ideas and norms and hence it was time for some blue-sky thinking to be embraced. The Sabre takes into consideration everything we have learned throughout our testing and development across all fin ranges. The wide and powerful base helps low end acceleration while the flexible tip dynamically adjusts delivering a forgiving and controlled ride. We are lucky to have one of the roughest and toughest testing grounds consistently available and the Sabre handles extreme chop and gusts by reacting to the ocean, keeping the board level eliminating both longitudinal roll and lateral pitch. The result is a perfectly balanced ride and when you are in more control you can pick the fastest line. During GPS testing not only were our peaks higher with the Sabre but our course times were quicker with riders reporting increased feel and confidence around the jibe
