Power-packed with 2 cams- top-end performance in less-than ideal conditions.

High luff-elasticity provides enormous wind range. Effective downhaul trim range over 5cm switches from a light wind powerhouse- to high-wind race performance. Designed with deeper profiles & longer boom lengths than Blades, Switchblades are targeted at performance light wind/upwind, slalom, wide boards & raceboards (with centerboard). The exclusive Blade mast pocket construction creates clean, fully loaded mast pockets with equalized loading (rotation ease).

Switchblades switch… from sdm to rdm!  Sdm Tekcams cams are mounted in the Switchblade.  For rdm masts- 2 rdm cams are packed into the sailbag...  remove sdm Tekcams, place rdm Tekcams. Switch! Simple!
