PHANTOM
FREERACE PERFORMANCE
The Phantom is ready to compete with pure slalom sails without demanding too much from the rider – the perfect choice for the upcoming generation of racers.
We designed the Phantom with our new 3D software, which allows us to maximize precision in the sail’s profile and optimize draft and twist characteristics.
An updated sizing structure provides the perfect sail for all conditions on the racing course with an overall compact sail range.
Sharing most characteristics with the Vapor reflects in the Phantom’s outstanding performance, while a narrower mast sleeve and the 2 + 1 camber setup makes it easier to rig and handle.
The updated outline, twist pattern and aspect ratio is optimized for maximum fin slalom performance and control.
No-compromise slalom racing performance is more accessible than ever before with the brand-new 2023 Phantom!
