SALT PRO DEVELOPMENT

DEVELOPING THE SALTpro CONCEPT

The SALTpro begins with the demands of riding a wave. You need speed to reach the section, drive to commit to the bottom turn and the freedom to release the sail as you change direction. We develop the SALTpro around that sequence, bringing power, manoeuvrability and control together in a responsive wave sail.

Drive through the turn

Useful power must arrive smoothly and remain easy to direct. Our goal is a sail that helps you carry speed through the bottom turn, hold your line and approach the lip with confidence.

The position and behaviour of the sail’s profile are central to this. We want a clear connection between your hands, the board and the wave, so you can increase the drive when needed while keeping the rig easy to move.

This balance matters in powerful waves, where you want to control your speed and trajectory, and in softer conditions, where you depend more on the sail to keep moving.

Release when you need freedom

As you approach the cutback or begin a rotation, the demands change. The sail needs to become neutral enough for you to reposition it and let the board turn.

We develop this transition between drive and release as an essential part of the SALTpro’s character. The aim is a predictable response to your input, with the rig supporting an active riding style.

Speed also plays an important role. It helps you reach the right section, approach a ramp with momentum and commit to jumps with confidence. The sail must combine that speed with the freedom to move it around your body.

Balance across conditions

Wave sailing brings changing wind angles, uneven water and sudden variations in pressure. The SALTpro needs to retain its balance through these changes while remaining lively in the hands.

Each size receives individual development attention for the conditions in which it will be used. Larger and smaller sails face different demands, but the intention stays consistent: useful drive, a quick response and precise control over the release of power.

Who we develop it for

The SALTpro is for wave sailors who value responsive turns, manoeuvrability and control during jumps. It suits riders who want to develop their wave riding and appreciate a sail that becomes lighter in the hands as they release its power.

Our development goal is a close connection between rider, sail and wave, giving you the freedom to choose your line and commit to it.
