Echo

This year’s new ECHO got a boost! Not just a new color, but with small adjustments coordinated by Dan Kaseler we constructed this sail to perfection. I am stoked to have this new sail in my hands; the easy handling and stability in the sail together with the power, drives you to what makes freestyle so fun! From the small sizes up to the bigger sail sizes, all sails are on top form and are ready for any condition mother nature sends your way.

Youp Schmidt, came to us with a very defined wish list this year. His feedback was key to advancing the design. The 2017 Echo is an enormous step forward. The end result is a true freestyle sail that will not only knock the socks off a professional athlete, but will deliver unequalled ease of handling and playfulness to mere mortals.
