The twin cam Lightning combines the best attributes of a race sail with the user-friendly appeal normally found in a good rotational. It’s easy to rig and particularly forgiving in choppy or gusty conditions. The huge tuning range allows you to exploit the Lightning’s “grunt” in low winds but remain in total control when overpowered, with minimal input from the rider.
Tushingham have long believed in the twin cam format, offering the best blend of performance and comfort for large freeride blasting sails at one extreme and smaller beach slalom sails at the other. The Lightning has been developed to a level where only the hardest of hardcore riders would feel the need for a sail with multiple camber inducers.
The Lightning will power freeride and freerace boards to very high speeds with a minimum of fuss.
To maximise the performance of a modern twin-cam sail like the Lightning, a little attention to how you set the sail will be necessary. However much conditions are firing, an extra few seconds spent checking the settings can be the difference between a good and a bad session on the water.
The 6.4mt rig comes with the Tushingham Freewave 45% carbon mast and the 7.0mt with the Tushingham 60%carbon mast.
Lightning Mast selection:
All rigs are supplied with the superb Aeron MCT26 boom.
Aeron MCT26: T-8 Alloy, Monocoque
Aeron introduces possibly the stiffest alloy boom on the market. With specialized alloy tempering process, it has arrived at the optimal strength - stiffness ratio and still a reduced diameter of just 26mm throughout the whole length in the 140-190cm and 150-200cm and with a tapered profile on the 175-225cm size, including the EVA grip.
Implementing the tapering technology with the newest ergonomic bends , the result is enhanced rig control and feel that has to be experienced to be believed.
The stiffness of these Aeron booms is incredible and sets a new standard for alloy booms.
rider quote
"Wherever I sail, the Lightning does all the hard work, taking the harshness out of the ride. For me, the X-15 is too rigid and heavy in windy conditions so I choose the Lightning, which makes life way easier!" - Marie Buchanan
