Ezzy Cheetah

Speed is the Ezzy Cheetah.  Take a closer look at the upgraded lighter and faster Ezzy freeride sail.

Ezzy Cheetah

With a strong, locked-in profile supported by seven horizontal shaping seams, the Cheetah is stable and balanced, allowing you to focus on going fast, even at the highest of
speeds.
The materials used in making the Cheetah’s body read as a list of ultra-high tech sail cloth materials: Technora on the leech resists stretch, white and Color Fusion Tri-Lite reduce weight, Spectra X ply give the Cheetah lasting durability, and the cnc’d stainless steel tack pulley makes down hauling a breeze. And, as with every Ezzy, the Cheetah is rigged and tuned in our factory before being shipped out to your local shop.

Education has the power to solve all of the world’s main problems: war, famine, and discrimination.

Rather than fight a specific issue, Ezzy hopes to eradicate them all through support of global education. This effort will first target the schools in Sri Lanka.

A portion of every sail made in the Ezzy factory goes into the Ezzy Foundation Fund from which money will go to purchase supplies for local Sri Lankan schools.

KP on Ezzy

Ezzy Sails is proud to announce multi time world champion Kevin Pritchard will be riding for Ezzy Sails in 2011 and beyond. The two have come together to take Ezzy Sails to the next level.

“I am super stoked to start working with David. I am excited to work with such a fine craftsman and have a lot of respect for David and his sail designs. I really like that he is an avid windsurfer and can feel the sails in his own hands rather than just having feedback from me. I am excited to work on the sails, also together with Graham where I would really like to train with him and push each other’s sailing to new levels. I think it is going to be a fun time!” said Kevin. “I am going to be focusing mainly on the US Windsurfing Tour this year and going to be making all the stops on that combined with some PWA events when they are in good wave riding locations. I am also going to be focusing on doing some clinics and camps and demo’s around the US and in Europe.  It is a new chapter in my career and I am stoked with the challenge.”

Ezzy Sails is a company devoted to making the best sails in the world. Sailmaking since 1983, David has been working nonstop on delivering the world the best products, with unsurmountable quality. Never accepting anything less than perfection, Ezzy Sails continues to search for the best materials, most efficient designs, and most durable products on the market.

UK Wave Tour Pro and Southbourne local James Cox, has been unveiled as an ambassador for the Lifeboat Tea Extreme Tea celebration of the ordinary people that do extraordinary things for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI).

James is embracing the Extreme Tea initiative by Lifeboat Tea, the tea brand that raises vital funds for the charity (which is entirely funded through donations), by representing Lifeboat Tea both on and off the water.

James said of his involvement with Lifeboat Tea: “I feel extremely privileged to be given the post of a Lifeboat Tea ambassador.  Like many of us who spend so much time on the water, I have seen my fare share of bad weather and I have a massive respect for the job the RNLI performs. Myself and my friends know how important it is to assess risks before venturing in to the water but we are aware that sometimes things can happen that can put you outside your comfort zone and in danger regardless of how prepared you are.

“Although I have never needed the RNLI called out for me; for the above reason, I can’t be sure this will always be the case. It’s because of this and the fact that so many of my friends spend time in the sea that I strongly want to help raise support for the volunteers at the RNLI through the Lifeboat Tea campaign.”

Lifeboat Tea is inviting people to follow James and share their own Extreme Tea photos via the Lifeboat Tea website (www.lifeboattea.co.uk/extreme), Facebook and Twitter. Lifeboat Tea costs £2.09rrp and is available from leading supermarkets such as Waitrose and selected Tesco and Asda supermarkets. It is also available in RNLI shops.

James is sponsored by: Quatro International, Ezzy Sails, Lifeboat Tea, K4 Fins and Big Salty Weather

Ezzy Sails in association with Seasprite Sports announces the release of the Freeride 4. The Ezzy Freeride 4 has the power and stability of a cambered sail, without using cams.

The Freeride 4 contains no monofilm and utilises the world’s most advanced materials. Light-weight Technora fibre is used along the leech to reduce stretch and improve performance. The luff and window panels utilise their bullet-proof Spectra X-film, which provides extra tear strength in these high-stress areas. Ezzy’s new Tri-Lite scrim is used in the central panels to save weight and smooth out the gusts, making the sail even more stable and controllable.

The Freeride 4′s huge wind range means you don’t need as many sails in your quiver. And it fits both standard and small diameter masts, so there’s no need to buy a new mast. Every Freeride is rigged in the Ezzy factory, where they tune the battens and do a thorough check of their work. Ezzy Sails takes their customers as seriously as they do their sails. Email them at info@ezzy.com and you will get a personal response within 12 hours.
