| | | | | The X9 Ultra is the top line mast in Neil Pryde's Rig Matrix! | | | Designed without compromise to deliver the most sensational riding experience ever! Powered by one of these a | | | Neil Pryde sail will feel more powerful, responsive and exceptionally stable across a wide range of conditions. | |
 |
| All Neil Pryde masts use what's called Progressive Flex Technology, a bend curve and flex response that was specifically developed by the Design Centre back in 2003-2004 to allow the performance of the sails to move to levels never thought possible. Progressive Flex masts and sails were fully rolled-out from 2005 and the commitment remains for the foreseeable future. |  | | In simple terms NP masts become progressively more flexible along their length. This allows the sail shaping to be locked low offering control and stability even when heavily loaded. At the same time the lower leech can be pre-set firmer, this allows the sail to plane earlier, feel more responsive and deliver improved upwind performance. As the sail needs to twist to accommodate wind gusts or the board impacting a chop, the mast deflects from the top down allowing the leech to open only as much as required by the situation. |  | | Running Neil Pryde sails on the masts they were designed for really enhances the achievable performance and wind range. | |
