Dedicated Performance RAF WindFoil
The S2Maui HORNET has been creating quite a buzz with performance-minded windfoil
riders who prefer a lighter sail without cams. The latest 2022 HORNET combines
elements of both our Eagle-FR Foil Race as well as the RAF Banshee for the ultimate
windfoil experience. A high aspect outline, lower foot and panel layout evolved from
our Eagle-FR Foil Race sail is combined with a 6-batten RAF skeleton and a tighter,
foil specific leech twist profile. Ultralight Technora™ Spacelight™ is used in the
leech twist zone together with Technical new low stretch Carbon WX Spacelight™
in the clew for an incredibly stable and light weight wing structure! Powerful shaping
and high efficiency leech tension accelerates quickly, lifting you up on the foil, while
perfect balance and more forward draft position give outstanding stability and glide
during flight. The Hornet is the perfect wind foil engine for the majority of riders,
providing a high performance outline with the simplicity and light weight of a No-cam.
Micah Buzianis:
“The new Hornet is bred from all our work on the Eagle-FR packaged into a lighter,
more user friendly sail. It has quickly become the perfect all around foil freeride sail,
light weight, easy to rig, stable and great all around range. Rotation is smooth and
easy, making foiling gybes a breeze!!”
Artur Szpunar:
The past year, we have placed a significant focus on development of our Eagle-FR competion
Foil-Race sails and the 2022 HORNET borrows elements from that work. Further updates
include a revised, smoother panel layout and twist pattern
with reduced weight in the head and upper leech. By
popular demand, a 5.2 size has been added for 2022.
