Ezzy Cross 2024 Sail
Sail Category: Wind-foiling, Freeride, Cross-Over
2024 Ezzy Cross sail - A Cross over – Foil and Freeride Sail in One.
This Cross model sail is a Windsurf to Foil with One Sail design. It’s unique leech design keeps the foot batten the longest point of the sail. The 4.7 and smaller high wind sails have the same length foot batten – but the roach of the sail is dramatically reduced above the boom to maintain as much control and stability as possible in stronger wind conditions. It’s ideal for those looking for both a freeride no-cam fin driven sail AND a light weight easy to use Wind-Foiling sail all in one.
David Ezzy needed one sail that would satisfy his two loves, foiling and windsurfing. He took what he learned from the past 4 years of foiling and combined it with his 40 years of wave and freeriding to come up with the Cross. How does the Cross achieve high performance for both foiling and regular windsurfing? The Cross can be rigged flat with a shallow yet defined profile for foiling OR rigged full with a deep, forward profile for freeride and bump-n-jump. The settings are easy to see with Ezzy’s calibrated downhaul gauge that distinguishes both Fin & Foil settings. David realized that the traditional method of scaling sails resulted in boom lengths that are too short on the small sails. Which is why small sails under 4.0 usually have an on/off feeling. The Cross addresses this by keeping the boom length the same for the 4.7 and smaller. This smooths out the smaller sizes and gives them excellent stability not only on the foil but also for regular windsurfing. This also eliminates the need to purchase a shorter boom for the smaller sizes.
This sail is designed to be very light and stable. Its 5 batten design coupled with Spectra X-ply, Dyneema and Technora sail material and short luff lengths help keep the sail light, compact and stable. The foot shape lays in between the Cheetah and the Wave, while the clew area below the boom is more extended.
