The radical look of the new ICE reveals that there was done a lot of development work, which turns into great performance. This World Cup wave sail has the potential to get the maximum out of any situation - even in very critical conditions!

Evolution is a constant process. Step by step, could even the ultimate can be improved. Therefore Kai Hopf looked into every detail of the ICE. From the refinement of the luff curve to the optimization of the sail foil tension up to new batten profiles - hardly a design feature was omitted. The results are impressive across the board: the 2011 ICE feels much lighter in your hands and is even more radical to direct!

In addition the key success factors of the ICE were sustained. E.g. the sensational handling as a result of the optimized foot geometry (especially when descending the wave), the impressive performance over a very wide wind range and the instantaneous reaction. Finally the iMODULAR.DESIGN’s optimized sail weight has a huge impact on handling.

Since the ICE was designed for all World Cup spots, it functions equally well from Ho’okipa to Sylt, to Gran Canaria or at your favorite spot.

All ICE sizes were designed for RDM masts, but are still compatible with SDM masts. That’s why the new ICE feels softer and can be easily controlled and pumped onto the plane. These abilities are also supported by the modified luff curve and the optimized leech tension.


ICE HD – The Ice is now also available in monofilm-free, hardcore X.PLY version.
