RRD X-Wing Y29 2024 (Pure Race/Slalom)

Our pure slalom sail featuring 4 cambers, dedicated to speed and racing! As the world of slalom racing continually changes, hours and hours of non stop research and development have gone into the X-Wing. For Y29 we introduce new sizes that fit better to the current rules and trends of slalom. A subtle change from a 7.0 to a 6.6 gives hugely improved performance when paired with the small size slalom boards, freeing the boards up to fly better, especially noticeable in choppy water. A change from 7.8 to 7.4 has a similar effect on the medium board, giving a higher top end range of the “medium” setup, without sacrificing much at the lower end. Further adjustments to the batten shaping profile give a touch more power, stability and drive throughout the range. Larger sizes remain high aspect ratio, which whilst optimised for fin, still allow competitive performance on foil, as proven at the PWA World Youth finals where the same production 8.4 X-Wing dominated both fin and foil disciplines to take a double win! So whether you are on fin or foil, chasing GPS speeds, racing friends or attacking the slalom course the X-wing is the dream partner.
