S-1 _MANOEUVRE ORIENTED WAVE
MAXIMUM MANEUVERABILITY. MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE
The S-1 is a high performance 4 batten wave sail. Lightweight, flexible and highly responsive, it feels like you have a spring that you can load up and release on demand.
Updated with the latest development concepts including DirectConnect and CarbonFusion to amplify the spring and reactivity, the S-1 is the most efficient power source to drive you through any manoeuvre.
One of the first things everyone notices about the S-1 is that it feels light. It IS light. But beyond the physical weight there’s a balance and short boom geometry that makes it feel even lighter.
New materials further complement the S-1’s design, with D6 Dacron adding elasticity to the forward sections of the sail, and VX2 stabilizing the body panels. The result is a consistent power position between your hands that provides enough back-hand pressure to perform without ever getting too heavy feeling.
The S-1 is a manoeuvre-oriented wave sail to excel in waves from knee high to as big as they go.

“The S-1 has gone through major changes over the last 20 odd years.
It was one of the original sails that SEVERNE designed and is
incredibly supportive of the way that I want to windsurf and wave sail.“
S-1 TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW
SEVERNE continues to lead the way in materials and product design. Technologies such as CarbonFusion and carbon load strips, previously reserved for PRO models has now trickled down into the standard Blade and S-1 models. Here’s the full rundown of the tech that makes up the S-1.
TECHNOLOGY
VX2
VERTICAL XPLY 2.0MIL.
/ MATERIAL
VX2 is a vertically oriented X-Ply featuring increased fibre density for stability and control, reduced film thickness for less weight, and our proven scrim layer for dependable durability. The 2 signifies the film thickness in mil.
/ ADVANTAGES.
VX2 laminate significantly reduces deformation in the sail compared to eM3 material. The vertical stretch has been reduced by more than 20% whilst the horizontal stretch characteristics have increased fractionally to enhance the elastic springy feel that has defined the SV wave sails.
MORE STABLE.
MORE DURABLE.
LESS WEIGHT.
GRADIENT PANEL TECHNOLOGY
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, the S-1 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.
THERMOFORMED CAMO TACK FAIRING
Protects your board from impact and neatly covers the foot detailing. It incorporates the rope stash pocket for easy storage of your downhaul rope.
MOLDED SOFT EDGE
With recessed grooving, covering any vulnerable stitching the moulded soft edge encloses the hard edge long the foot of the sail and protects the stitching from wear along the board non-skid.
SPIDERFIBRE
A web of fibreglass filament that disburses loads across seams and throughout the body of the sail. By using stronger, lighter fibres and reducing sail patching, we can measurably reduce weight and swing weigh and at the same time, increase strength.
EM4 HIGH LOAD LAMINATE
Based on the proven eM3 platform, the high load eM4 material features twice the amount of X-Ply fibre and increased film thickness to maximise durability. This new material allows weight reduction whilst maintaining puncture resistance and tear strength. Used in the lower impact zone in the sail.
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 IS NEW ON THE 025 S-1?
WHERE CAN I ORDER SPARE PARTS OR MATERIALS TO REPAIR MY SAIL?
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 S-1 ON AN SDM MAST?
No, the S-1 is designed on RDM masts
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE S-1 AND THE S-1 PRO?
The S-1 Pro uses CarbonFusion technology and is constructed using carbon fibre laminates.
The S-1 PRO uses Carbon Fusion technology.
The S-1 PRO is lighter.
The S-1 is less expensive.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE BLADE AND THE S-1?
The S1 is more manoeuvrable orientated, which means it has more backhand power that allows you to change your line more in the bottom turn and makes it easier to rotate through manoeuvres like wave 360.
The Blade is kept more neutral with more power in the front of the sail giving you a lot more control for both riding and jumping.
The S-1 has 4 battens.
The S-1 is maneuverable oriented sail.
The BLADE is full X-PLY, the S-1 features a monofilm window.
The S-1 is more powerful.
