Replaces last year Impact Wave and it is the hardcore manufactured wave riding sail in the brand. Its new design his more compact than the MC Wave. The construction is 100% re-enforced monofilm with Kevlar on the leech. Note, if you put the Hammer on top of the MC Wave the Hammer has less sail surface.

Sailing
When rigged, the Hammer gives more lower leech twist and has a flatter profile than the MC Wave. More rigid than its sister the MC Wave and other sails in that category, the Hammer is the kind of sail you ride with more finesse. Really reactive and more dynamic, the sail offers a very precise ride where you can get or release power from the backhand when needed. The sail does not pull and therefore you can express yourself in moves. The sail is not the lightest in the market wave segment but is one of the most robust constructions you can find. You can go for big wave riding with feeling of total confidence. It is in serious down the line conditions where you will find it at its best; dynamic and well balance. Its profile is neutral and powerful when required. This is the sort of sail you can regulate its power to gain finesse when riding in surf or jumps.

Verdict
Finesse and reactivity characterize the Hammer, which is a fast and well balance sail for hardcore wave riding. The ratio of finesse and reactivity is interesting for light sailors or other who likes fast riding. A sail we can trust with an amazing quality price.
