Neil Pryde Supply Rob Custom Zone 3.2m Sail For Red Bull Storm Chase!
Most people are aware of the Red Bull Storm Chase that is in action (or waiting for a force 10) right now. If not then check out their site here.
Our team rider Rob Jones (Riks bruv) didn't make it into the two available places for Ireland where he's lived now for the last 12 years. However as he lives at one of the windiest spots in the world, and has experienced probably more so than anyone else the kind of conditions Red Bull are hoping to film, who better than to be in the thick of the action when it all kicks off? He's sure to be out and ripping whenever the big storm hits.
So he needed to get tooled up for the job! Having made his own 2.4m that saw some serious action back in 2005, it was time to look again at the raw requirements for such conditions. Step in the team at Neil Pryde Design HQ.
A small number of special edition 3.2m '07 Zone sails have been produced. Rigging on a 370cm mast and a 135cm boom length, this new sail looks in proportion but very small - just the job for tackling the conditions to come!
Rob also has a new self-built sub 3m sail on his cutting table just in case this 3.2m proves too much to handle...we'll just have to see and will keep everyone posted with further news as and when the action kicks off!
Rob would like to say a big thanks to everyone who has been involved with the supply of this special sail - the team at NPDC, NPHK, Ultra Sport EU, and of course Rebecca for getting it logo'd up and dispatched to Ireland.
