SIDEON COMPLETE MONOFILM RIG PULSE 1.0M² YELLOW

1. Performance and Responsiveness (The Monofilm Advantage)

Monofilm is a rigid, transparent material. Unlike Dacron, which stretches to absorb wind, Monofilm stays locked in place.

• Instant Acceleration: As soon as a gust hits the sail, the energy is transferred directly to the board. No power is lost in fabric deformation.

• Profile Stability: Even when the wind picks up, the sail maintains its shape. You won't get that "unstable" feeling where the draft moves around, giving you much better control at high speeds.

2. Total Visibility and Modern Design

• Crystal Clear View: This is a massive safety and comfort bonus. You can see everything happening downwind—obstacles, other riders, or incoming waves—right through the sail.

• Pro Look: With its transparent body and reinforced colored panels, the Pulse looks and feels like a high-end freeride sail.

3. An Accessible "Freeride" Spirit

The Pulse is often equipped with stiffer battens and a specific luff curve (the curve of the mast) to stabilize the sail for faster riding.

• Perfect for Planing: This is the ideal sail for learning how to get into the footstraps and use a harness effectively.

• Agility: Monofilm is very lightweight, making the sail easy to handle during fast jibes and quick tacks.

4. Maintenance and Care

To be fair, performance requires a bit more attention:

• Fragility: Monofilm does not like sharp impacts (rocks, knees, shells) or being creased. It requires more care when rigging and de-rigging compared to the indestructible Ezride.

• UV Sensitivity: Over the long term, Monofilm can become brittle if left out in the sun for days on end without being used.

Quick Comparison: Ezride vs. Pulse

In short: If you want a sail for your first steps without worrying about damage, stick with the Ezride. If you are already comfortable on the water and want a sail with "punch" to start hitting higher speeds, the Pulse is the logical next step.
