2022 XO Sails Shark Freeride Sail 5.3

The Shark is the Wave Onshore - Freewave sail of the XO Sails range. Originally a pure wave sail, its qualities in terms of stability, held in the wind, and speed, allow it to overflow a Bump and Jump/Freeride use in strong winds. Ultra versatile, it is suitable for all types of riders, especially those who sail in various spots and do not want to change the sail permanently. More compact, the new version gains stability and maneuverability, without compromising anything about its other qualities. The new grid material (Pentex) used at the head of the sail is supple, and allows a weight gain of 15 to 20%, without a loss of strength.
