Kruze 2006
Freeride...
The Kruze is the sail to choose if you need:
- Speed
- Control
- Light (actual weight and feel)
- Stability
Based on the Kaos and Kult, with the focus on wind
range, speed, lightness and stability, this sail is an outstanding all-rounder
with great flexibility for most board types and almost all
sailing conditions.
Why choose an all monofilm sail?
- As the material is non directional, the stability is increased.
- Monofilm is more puncture resistant than other materials (although if punctured, a tear will continue).
- Does not absorb water - stays lighter.
- Price advantage.
What riders say about the 2006 Kruze:
Kristian Sexton , Hawaii:
Got to try the Kruze recently. Feels almost identical to the Kult except perhaps a touch lighter. Great for "kruzing", freestyle tricks, or catching some waves.
Handles nice in the surf even though 5.8 is bigger than I would normally use. Nice to be able to see perfectly through the whole sail. If your going to wavesail a lot it is probably better to go with the Kult as the construction is quite a bit more heavy duty. Can't fault a sail for fitting perfectly into its design range though.

What riders say about the Kruze:
Isabelle, CA, USA:
I got 10 hours of sailing on the 5.8 this week-end. Average
22mph, but gusts to 28.This sail is as amazing as the Kontrol! So
easy in the gusts! I'm so glad I bought them! Thanks to you! (that's
to Uwe, our Canadian importer)
Take care and thanks again! Isabelle.
(Ed - Isabelle
actually has the 2004 Kult, almost identical)
Spotty, Black Rock, Victoria:
New Kruze and KA mast were perfect for Mambo conditions. Sailed
all 4 days with mostly light
winds except Sunday: had the gear flying!
