THE ULTIMATE 4 BATTEN WAVE SAIL
Through the past year we have worked with Ricardo Campello, Robby Naish and our test team to fine tune the Force 4. In addition to a fresh new color combo we went through and improved the range size-by-size.
For the 5.0 and up we kept the more powerful feel with a slightly tighter leech, accommodating the need for plenty of sail power, especially in onshore and side-onshore conditions. In addition to Maui, testing was done in Brazil and Italy, which helped to adjust those sizes for real-world conditions and make them extremely crisp and responsive.
Our sizes 4.7 and smaller received some slight adjustments to make the head open a touch more, making them feel even lighter in the rider's hands while keeping the power necessary to perform in any conditions from side-offshore to onshore.
No matter which size you choose, the Force 4 is the perfect partner for anybody looking for a well-balanced 4 batten wave sail that carries its power neutrally between your hands and can handle the roughest conditions on the water.

Equilibrium Batten Pockets
The equilibrium batten pockets reduce weight, increase durability, and allow for improved rotations
Spectraview Window
The spectraview window is a super tough and clear film panel, giving riders improved visibility for ultimate riding
Horizontal Panel Layout with Radial Clew
The horizontal panel layout allows for the rider to lock in the sails shape and provides a large wind range. The radial clew gives the sail structure and durability in the areas where it takes the largest beating
Twin Luff Panels
The twin luff panels improve leading edge shape control
XS-1577 Film
The ultralight XS-1577 material is durable, giving riders the extra confidence to push their limits
Carbon Airframe
The carbon airframe acts as the sails skeleton by spreading the load into all of the right areas providing a tight, rigid, and locked in ride and increasing overall performance
