With masses of useable power and a fun active nature, the efficient and dynamic on/off profile is designed to be radical on the wave. Fast, agile, and supremely comfortable to us. A versatile wave sail which can be used in all conditions. The Salt Pro’s soft delivery style makes its spirited rearward rider-focussed power, both useable and stable across a far-reaching tuneable range to make the most of in all coastal environments.

The sail that has brought a PWA World Vice Champion results to Point-7.

 After having redesigned the outline and a stronger base construction in 2023, in 2024 we have introduced an extra x-ply luff panel next to the dacron, to control further stability and direct response of the sail. The lock in feeling has been increasing considerably allowing to be more precise and direct in jumps and riding waves.

Fast riding on the waves, quick wave sailing moves. Ultra-light in your hands Adjust the back-hand power, and it is ready to offer precision, according to the wind strength and wind direction. Balanced in the hands, the power comes from a high forward position, its punchy delivery softened by the stretch in the luff sleeve and large Dacron luff panel. Once the pressure builds and the draft reaches its elastic limit, the response from the sail’s high skin tension takes over, providing crisp, precise handling and inspiring the rider to explore its manoeuvre potential. On the wave, the Salt provides masses of useable drive through the bottom turn, whilst always remaining controllable. At the critical moment, it has a more of an on-off nature, the Dacron panel permitting the lungs of the sail to exhale and become light and easy for manoeuvre Rigged, the luff length increment provided 3cm extension is suggested to provide extra play. When applying downhaul, the Salt’s mid-leech falls away quickly whilst the upper leech remains taut, its looseness masked in part by the large mini batten. There is plenty of luff curve in the sail’s leading edge, forcing a good deal of shape into the draft, whilst the two lower battens retain excellent rotation around the mast.

The Salt translates to plenty of useable bottom end grunt, the large luff panel expanding to significantly increase the depth of the draft. The delivery is soft and forgiving, and comes through both hands, the centre of effort focussed on the rider. Used in properly powered conditions, this transforms into a power-hungry animal, locked in and dancing over the water as it advances in every gust. It moves smoothly around the rider thanks to the softness in the luff panel, enabling to keep the pedal down in attack mode, even in the most uninviting conditions. With speed comes light handling, which combined with the Salt’s on-off capacity when eased out, makes it a formidable weapon on the wave and in transition.

The Point-7 Black Team. A team of professional sailors and designers who have proved themselves by designing the winning sail for the World Champion in the PWA Slalom World Tour. Josep Pons is now in charge of the development with the rest of the Wave Black team and has given new important feedback on the New SALT PRO.

For wave riding the leach lose leach, should fall 15cm from the leach to the first mini batten on the top. (-3 cm from max downhaul setting). For the boom length, the lower ring to the minimum boom setting required in the specs. For Bump and Jumping, pull downhaul setting all the way to 1cm to the end of the setting required, and use the higher ring with the max setting required from the specs. Tighten top batten, but just remove wrinkles on the other battens, without over tightening them. The SALT PRO has been developed specifically on the C80 rdm masts.
