2022 Duotone Super Hero M+

NOT ONLY ON THE SCALES, BUT ALSO IN YOUR HANDS – THE LIGHTEST WAVE SAIL WE HAVE EVER BUILT!

For all fetishists among the specialists, the SUPER_HERO by World Champion Victor Fernandez is also available as a limited M+ edition in ultra-light high-tech membrane construction. Compared to its predecessor, the latest version has been given a modified profile and barely visible but very effective reinforcements in the sail body. Both measures clearly show effect and give the new SUPER_HERO M+ 2.0 a far more direct and even lighter feel!

Behind the membrane technology is an extremely complex process in which we have the membrane body manufactured by a highly specialized yacht sail manufacturer on computer-controlled production lines. In addition to maximum weight savings, it is crucial for us that the durability surpasses all other membrane sails available to date. We therefore rely on the experience gained in yachting and use a 20% thicker, special monofilm as well as a higher proportion of adhesive.

With the DUOTONE membrane, a predefined computer simulated plotter lays Dyneema fibres exactly in the force directions on top of the first film layer. The top layer is then applied and compacted in a vacuum process before the adhesive is activated under heat. Two of the four batten pockets are directly laminated into the body during this process. The mast sleeve, including protector, the remaining two batten pockets and the reinforcements are added using the classic process. The result is a 20% (= 400 g) lighter high-end SUPER_HERO, whose lower weight is especially noticeable during manoeuvres and handling. Never before has a wave sail been so light and loose in your hands yet behaved so neutrally when riding the wave, especially since the membrane gives the sail a more pleasantly elastic feel and thus improved power development, particularly in the underpowered wind range. The range of use and basic character are otherwise no different from the regular SUPER_HERO.

The ultimate technology and the complex manufacturing process mean that the SUPER_HERO M+ 2.0 is only available in very limited quantities and at a price significantly higher than the regular version.

Important note: The SUPER_HERO M+ 2.0 is a high-tech professional sail that is designed for minimum weight despite the optimized membrane film. This inevitably comes at the expense of durability, which is why the M+ edition is excluded from the 5-year warranty.
