News Summer 2008 - Neil Pryde V8 Helium Release!
  April 2010: Technical Support - Neil Pryde Helium Rigging & Tuning  
Late in the summer of 2008 the Helium sail from Neil Pryde hit our shores and turned the world on end in terms of the lighter wind planing performance achievable from a relatively small sail size - in comparison with more conventional equipment available.
We've supplied many happy customers since then, particularly through 2009, and as a result of that a few rigging queries are now being raised at the beginning of this season as everyone finally comes out of hibernation! Roll on some warmer freeride days...it's been ages huh!?!
Rik has put together a detailed rigging and tuning film that covers both the 2009 and 2010 versions.
If you purchased a Helium from us and benefited from a rigging session here at the store then even so it's certainly still worth 20 minutes of your time to watch this and make sure you are doing everything correctly. The specific log-in details for the support page should have been sent to you via email already but if not please get in contact with Rik for re-advice of such.
