Reigning Windsurfing Wave World Champion Marc Paré presents his ultimate wave sail for competing at the highest level: the 2027 Blacktip Team Carbon, now featuring stitchless Q-bonded construction and hyper-reactive Carbon Scrim. We have gone beyond everything we have built before. It is by far the most technically advanced wave sail ever designed and produced by Simmer Style.

Ola has a new post on facebook (friends only ??)
BIG congratulations to Marc Paré for winning the Aloha classic, which is arguably the hardest top level comp to win. Even harder if you are not a Hookipa local. I am very impressed by his carves and tricks. Tricks aside, I love the carves and maybe Marc is now second to none in how he sets up and follows through his top turn carves.
Also congratulations to Kai Katchadourian for winning the masters once again. Kai, while also being a world traveller, is a seasoned Hookipa veteran since the age of 16, meaning 40 years of Hookipa experience. It shows.
Marc was in the final on a 91 liter Highlight, a custom/proto board but made in our Vietnam production factory. We made around 20 protos of this model and at some point you will all be able to buy this world cup winning shape of the racks. We just gonna work a few more minor things out, because it is not an easy decision to replace the Fly...
Kai was interestingly on a completely fresh version of his Peahi (Jaws) design. Many moons ago (10+ years), we once sat in Sweden, working out how to design a Peahi specific board. We went with a basic bottom design from our freewave, which had already proven itself in mast+ Kanaha conditions. This bottom then fed into the current Fly and has in fact formed the backbone of many of the Simmer models since then. Now we updated this classic design, and while it is optimized for huge waves, it did the job in difficult light wind Hookipa conditions too.
I am proud to have the opportunity to design boards for both of you
