O2 Freeride 6.6. Test headline:
"Impressive neutrality"

Excerpts from the test results:
"The faster we go, the more we feel an energy in the profile that permits very strong accelerations... it's the sail of the group that requieres less physical strength.
Its confort and performances really strikes out when the wind gets stronger. The O2 is not getting out of control in the strong gusts, and never pulls too much on the back hand, even when we are completely overpowered with the other sails. Every gust is neutralized!
We've been impressed by the O2 for years now, this 2008 version is no exception... it's awesome in choppy waters; we are less shaken than with the O2 than with the other sails."
