The 2024 Catalyst "The pure surfing sail" is perfect for wave surfing in clean side, side-off conditions, and aggressive down-the-line riding by Camille Juban.
New for 2024: the Catalyst benefits from the GRADIENT CONCEPT by S2Maui™ which combines the highest value of High-Tech fabric resistance with minimal elasticity in the lower part of the sail body and in "high-stress" areas, becoming progressively lighter as you move up the sail. The lower body of the sail is now entirely constructed with the exclusive Carbon WX SpaceLight™ by S2Maui, which provides incredible stability, extreme resistance where needed, and zero stretch characteristics.
The central and upper body of the sail is made from Technora™ SpaceLight™ which is ultra-light, strong, and responsive, with a reduced number of seams. This part of the sail has benefited the most from incredible lightness, reducing swing weight and providing a lightning-fast response of the Leech. All panels are carefully load-oriented for excellent profile, stability, and wind range, for gusty and offshore conditions.
The new GRADIENT CONCEPT construction and material upgrade make the Catalyst 2024 lighter and more responsive than ever. The virtually zero stretch in the lower body of the sail due to carbon fiber has allowed for a firm profile, creating an incredible stable and responsive structure that is particularly important in a 3-batten sail. Reduced seams and expanded use of the Technora™ Spacelight™ super-light in the upper sail give the new Catalyst 2024 an incredibly light feel and lightning-fast maneuverability.
The 2024 Catalyst is the lightest 3-batten wave sail on the market! Instant ON/OFF, with very smooth power delivery. Fast, smooth, maneuverable; offers impeccable turns and speed during turns. The neutrality and invisibility in your hands are unimaginable, a sail that can be used with two fingers. Despite being a 3-batten, even in sizes like 3.8, it is incredibly stable and precise thanks to its construction and materials used.
Featherweight, low backhand pull, designed for explosive and fast maneuvers equipped with instant stability and reactivity for maximum performance, giving "energy" to wave-riding, facilitating aggressive lines and progressive moves like taka, goiters, and 360°. Fast and agile, the Catalyst allows you to achieve more verticality in the wave section and deeper cuts. Quick and agile, the Catalyst lets you explore your limits!
The exclusive FocusPoint ™ shape by S2Maui , along with the panel arrangement, the WARPPATH ™ layout, and the 3 mini-battens ensure profile stability, wind-range, and great control in gusty offshore conditions. This allows you to focus completely on surfing.
