HYPER 7 _FOIL RACE
HYPER CHARGED FLIGHT.
The “HyperGlide” is now the “Hyper”. This shift represents the progression from the early-day foil sail development to a podium-winning platform.
The results are clear. Riding the HyperGlide, the Severne team won the following titles in 2023: PWA Mens Slalom World Champion, PWA Mens Vice World Champion, and PWA Womens Slalom World Champion.
The Hyper’s legacy is clear; it has achieved countless national, continental, and world titles over the years, and has formed the base for the current Olympic racing program.
Hyper 7 entry profiles flatter, deepening as you move back in the sail. This design tweak results in more glide and a slippery in-flight feeling. The low drag configuration is boosted by a more open area right above the boom. Altogether, this also generates less downforce on your board. More stability equals more speed.
Power delivery is neutral and intuitive, working with you across a wider wind range boosted by an Xtended range design. The benefit is a much smoother ride, but lock in the Hyper 7 and it will react decisively for a race-winning performance. Fly First Class.

TECHNOLOGY
LEADING EDGE
Tuned entry with a finer leading edge rotation for reduced drag.
OPTIMIZED AERODYNAMICS
By aligning the battens with the direction of airflow drag has been reduced. Clean panels with minimal seams further improve the aerodynamics.
DIRECT DRIVE TENSIONERS
The DDT 4 and DDT 5 tensioners directly connect the tube batten to the leech of the sail. This new design eliminates the heavy section of tube that is needed for the standard batten tensioner and being smaller, has superior aerodynamics.
OPTIONAL CLEW POSITIONS
POSITION 1:
This is the recommended setting and carries the adjustable outhaul fitting. It creates the perfect balance between a comfortable clew height and leech tension. This is the setting that Matteo Iachino will use for 99% of PWA slalom races.
POSITION 2:
This setting is lower and further in. It softens the feel of the sail and may be more comfortable for smaller, lighter riders looking for more control in higher winds.
PERFORMANCE MONOFILM CONSTRUCTION
Monofilm Construction to maximise performance and minimize weight. Construction mimics the exact sail prototypes that were tested by our racers.
BOOM HEIGHT REFERENCE
Boom height gauge for ease of reference.
HIGH VISIBILITY SLEEVE
Keep your opponents and surroundings in check while racing.
APEX SKIN TENSION
Capitalizing on the performance and proven durability of the Apex Pro mast, more luff curve has increased skin tension to lock the profile low and forward where it can be most easily controlled.
3&4 ROLLER TACK PULLEY
Roller tack pulleys are matched to the sails downhaul requirements and aligned for friction free downhauling and threading ease. Rig your sails with the Severne Hardware Division extensions for function and simplicity.
XL PERFORMANCE
Used on the Hyper 7, the XL Cam maximizes leading edge stability by allowing increased cam pressure to be distributed over a wider surface area.
Rotation is improved by the increased the leverage of the longer cam.
Mast wear is reduced due to less friction from the 8 rollers.
SPIDERFIBRE
SpiderFibre on the leech of the sail massively increases the perimeter strength and inhibits vertical stretch between the sail panels.
SEAMLESS FOOT CONSTRUCTION
A single panel in the foot area with hidden load patches and zero exposed stitching eliminates seam abrasion and seam creep in this high load area. Maximum durability and minimum weight.
WIDER SLEEVE
A bigger sleeve provides the stability needed to handle the added power and improve low-end, as well as, upwind performance.
All Hyper 7 sizes benefit from a new Xtended Range technology that allows for bigger gaps in your quiver.
Xtended Range was developed to increase wind range at both the lower AND higher ends: deeper, more powerful profiles are locked in place with added skin tension to enhance control and stability.

CAN I USE A NON-SEVERNE MAST IN MY SAILS?
All of our development, testing, rigging, and tuning are done using Severne masts. We don’t test the performance or bend curves of other masts, and can not guarantee which performance or durability you can get out of your sail using a different brand mast. Therefore, we strongly recommend our customers use SEVERNE masts.

You can order repair material from your local dealer or distributor. Use the dealer locator to find your nearest SEVERNE dealer.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE HYPER 7 AND THE FOILGLIDE?
The HYPER 7 is a race sail, The FoilGlide is a freeride sail.
The HYPER 7 has higher top speeds.
The HYPER 7 is heavier.
The HYPER 7 has more battens and more cams.
WHAT IS RECOMMENDED MAST FOR THE HYPER 7?
RDM red for the 4.0 and 5.0 sizes.
APEX PRO or APEX for 6.0 – 9.0 sizes.
