The S2Maui HORNET has been creating quite a buzz with performance-minded wind- foil riders who prefer a lighter sail without cams. The latest 2024 HORNET combines elements of both our Eagle-FR Foil Race as well as the RAF Banshee for the ultimate windfoil experience. A high aspect outline, lower foot and panel layout evolved from our Eagle-FR Foil Race sail is combined with a 6-batten RAF skeleton and a tighter, foil specific leech twist profile. New for 2024 “Light-Ply” 2-ply colored film panels in the upper sail body reduce overall weight and provide more responsive acceleration, improved stability and wind range. Ultralight and strong Technora™ Spacelight™ is used in the leech for smooth, quick response and solid durability. Powerful shaping and high efficiency leech tension accelerates quickly, lifting you up on the foil, while perfect balance and more forward draft position give outstanding stability and glide during flight. The Hornet is the perfect wind foil engine for the majority of riders, providing a high performance outline with the simplicity and light weight of a no-cam.
Micah Buzianis:
“The new Hornet is bred from all our work on the Eagle-FR packaged into a lighter, more user friendly sail. It has quickly become the perfect all around foil freeride sail, light weight, easy to rig, stable and great all around range. Rotation is smooth and easy, making foiling gybes a breeze!!”
Artur Szpunar:
The 2024 Hornet has experienced significant evolution, notably the incorporation of the “Gradient Concept” with a progression to our new lighter weight “Light-Ply” 2-ply colored film panels as you move up the sail body. This concept keeps durability high while reducing weight where it is most effective.
