Test Review - 20/01/2016

Severne S1 4.5m



A LARGER PIC CAN BE SEEN ON OUR GALLERY!

 Anybody who knows Rune will say that he is one of the best wave sailors we have around here (the Danish seem to make a habit out of being 'good') and although he is one of those guys that would make a barn door with an old sheet on it look good, he does say exactly what he thinks about kit (perhaps I can get him to recite what he said about his Quatro the first day he sailed it!) so I was quite happy when I read his review.
He does have one failing though...getting a Review to us on time! :)
He he..  thanks Rune! 

Hi Surfladle!

Just found time to compose a little S-1 review:

I have now owned these Severne S-1 sails for over a year now  and can surely say I have tested them in any conditions that the south coast can come up with. These sails are so light,  even when sailed with the Gorilla 75% carbon mast as I do.
For waveriding the S-1 responds super quick and goes from being powerful to neutral in a very short time, so I can focus on riding the wave.
I have noticed when landing high back loops, the flexible top of the S-1 makes the landing softer as the top seems to deflate the pressure and helps me by not being pressed forwards into the sail. I can highly recommend these sails to any sailor who wants to spend their time on wave sailing ;)

See you on the water!
Rune
