BLADE PRO _PREMIUM CONTROL
The new Blade Pro is the premium version of the legendary Blade.
These CarbonFusion sails are the only production windsurf sails using carbon fibre laminates from head to tack. Carbon is a higher performance fibre than the Technora, Kevlar or polyester used in all other sails. Better strength to weight ratios, more reactive, wider wind ranges.
This production technique is highly accurate, reliable, and consistent. There are no differences in finished sail weights.
With the new GRADIENT PANEL TECHNOLOGY improvements are obvious. Lighter weight and better stability.
The Blade Pro uses the new GRADIENT PANEL TECHNOLOGY. Corners have overlapped panels which reduces the amount of patching. At the same time, these overlapped areas extend into the body of the sail so it transitions the load much better, will be less stretch over time. It’s a more stable way of building sails.
Rather than a single curved luff panel, the Blade Pro uses separate panels that radiate out of the head and tack corners. This perfectly aligns the sail material with the direction of load. Previously the curved panel would have bias stretch in all the wrong places. Direct transmission of power. Increased longevity. Total Control.

TECHNOLOGY
GRADIENT PANEL TECHNOLOGY
The Blade Pro uses the new GRADIENT PANEL TECHNOLOGY. Corners have overlapped panels which reduces the amount of patching. At the same time these overlapped areas extend into the body of the sail so it transitions the load much better, will be less stretch over time. It’s a more stable way of building sails.
Rather than a single curved luff panel, the Blade Pro uses separate panels that radiate out of the head and tack corners. This perfectly aligns the sail material with the direction of load. Previously the curved panel would have bias stretch in all the wrong places. Direct transmission of power. Increased longevity. Total Control.
AERO BATTEN TECHNOLOGY
In our quest to create a truly symmetrical sail we have developed the AERO BATTEN POCKET. Rather than add the batten pocket on one side of the sail, the panels of the sail are overlapped to create a channel for the batten. The tensioner is then loaded from both sides of the sail creating even tension across both sides of the foil.
The result is improved sail symmetry and reduced weight.
GRADIENT PANEL TECHNOLOGY
With the new GRADIENT PANEL TECHNOLOGY improvements are obvious. Lighter weight and better stability.
Using the new GRADIENT PANEL TECHNOLOGY. Corners have overlapped panels which reduces the amount of patching. At the same time these overlapped areas extend into the body of the sail so it transitions the load much better, will be less stretch over time. It’s a more stable way of building sails.
The GRADIENT PANEL TECHNOLOGY logically reduces weight, increases strength and controls stretch. Overall weight is reduced but the more significant improvement is the feel – quicker reacting and lighter feel.
Rather than a single curved luff panel, we use separate panels – split luff – that radiate out of the head and tack corners. This perfectly aligns the sail material with the direction of load.
Previously the curved panel would have bias stretch in all the wrong places. Direct transmission of power. Increased longevity.

What changed from 022 to 023 Blade Pro?
023 Blade Pro sails are constructed using CarbonFusion, and no longer make use of HyperSpider membrane technology.
You can read more about CarbonFusion by clicking this link.
What is the difference between the Blade and the Blade Pro?
The key difference between the Blade and Blade Pro is the material, as well as, the construction.
Blade Pro is the only sail that is built using carbon fibre laminates from head to tack. Carbon is a higher-performance fibre than the Technora, Kevlar, or polyester used in all other sails.
Better strength-to-weight ratios, more reactive, wider wind ranges.
Can I rig the Blade Pro on a SDM mast?
No, the Blade Pro is designed for RDM masts.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE BLADE/BLADE PRO AND S-1?
The Blade is kept neutral in the front of the sail to give a lot more control when riding or jumping.
The S-1 has 4 battens.
The S-1 is more manoeuvre oriented.
The S-1 has more backhand pressure.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE BLADE/BLADE PRO AND GATOR?
The Blade/Blade Pro is specifically designed for the windsurfers who spend most of their time in the waves. A neutral sail that helps to improve riding and jumping.
The Gator will be your best match if you enjoy bump and jump conditions, occassionally riding some waves. Offering a softer, easier handling, the Gator will have you planning earlier than anyone else.
The Gator is freewave/freeride oriented.
The Gator planes earlier.
The Gator has five battens up to 7.0 and six battens from 7.5 and up.
The Blade is wave oriented. The Blade is more stable.
The Blade has five battens.
The Blade is more manoeuvreable.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET CARBONFUSION TO REPAIR THE SAIL MYSELF?
Yes, you can order repair material from your local dealer or distributor.
Use the dealer locator to find your nearest SEVERNE dealer.

Can I rig the Blade Pro on a non-Severne mast?
All of our development, testing, rigging, and tuning are done using SEVERNE masts.
We strongly recommend our customers use SEVERNE masts. Our masts are designed with a specific SEVERNE bend curve that remains one of the pillars of our rigs.
We don’t test the performance or bend curves of other masts, and can thus not guarantee which performance or durability you can get out of your sail using a different brand mast.
We describe the curve of our mast as a SEVERNE curve.
The constant, hardtop, or flex top curves that generic mast brands describe base themselves on measurements on 3 points.
We measure our masts at 7 points minimum.
