Tushingham Storm 2012

// high wind freeride

Tushingham was the first to recognise that not all high-wind sailors need a wave sail. In fact, most high wind sailing takes place on chop where balanced handling and control are paramount. The new Storm follows its predecessors by setting the benchmark for high-wind freeride, blending power, speed and control for exciting and effortless high-wind sailing.
With a slightly longer boom and deeper profile than a wave sail, the Storm locks the board to the water in choppy conditions; delivering crisp, usable low-end power and a top-end that will never leave you wanting.
The Storm is adaptable to different boards, riders and conditions and can be paired with standard diameter or reduced diameter masts. Check the mast page to discover how mast choice will affect this sail.
Constructed entirely of X-ply and Kevlar reinforced laminates, with double width seams in impact areas and Tushingham’s exclusive crash panel, this sail will take whatever you can throw at it.
“This sail was a big hit with both testers and guesters as a freeride option. It will work well with freeride boards across a very wide wind range.” – Boards Magazine Storm Mast selection:
For freeride sailing we highly recommend the Carbon 75 mast, with the FreeWave 45 a good budget alternative. For bump 'n' jump and coastal sailing involving waves the extra strength of a RD mast may well prove useful. In such cases the RD Wave or RD 60 are great choices. A few pointers in the right direction can be the difference between a good or bad session. Even experienced windsurfers can miss a key tip that can make a huge difference to your sail's performance on the water. Read and watch for how Muzza makes the most of his tuning range.
