Every sail we make is computer cut and our tolerances are as follows:
Seams: 0.25 mm
Luff curve: 1.0 mm
All sails have the endobatten construction, which means the seams are the batten pockets. This also means that each panel section must be finished on the edges and the last thing that happens (before the sleeve goes on) is the batten seams are sewn. That means we are unable to correct the luff or leech side if the panels do not line up, the result being the sail could not be made. This is not the case with a conventional batten pocket construction that the other companies use. They can be off by 10mm or more and still fudge the leech or luff edges, but they will be also changing the design. My point being, it is impossible for us to produce a bad sail. If that weren’t enough, we also rig EVERY sail and go over them with a fine tooth comb to make sure the shape and sewing is perfect.

EZZY SAILS congratulates the great results of JOSH ANGULO, JESSE BROWN, and GRAHAM EZZY, in the 2006 Aloha Classic!
ANGULO Lights Up The Line FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – November 17, 2006 Maui, Hawaii (USA) – There was ONE day left to run a full double elimination. With no chance of fitting in both fleets, the Head Jugde ditched the women to concentrate on finishing the mens. Ouch! That couldn’t have gone down well with one lady, Daida Moreno, who was desperate for a come back in the double as her PWA Wave World title was at stake. What could she do? The event was over for the women and Daida handed the Wave World Title to her sister, Iballa Moreno, only the second time she has won it. At least, they’re keeping it in the family! Onto the men, who had classic mast high Hookipa to deal with all be it with light, offshore winds. Ricardo Campello has clearly been practising in the waves as he performed goiters, aerials and photo shoot cut backs to get through to 5th place beating Matt Pritchard and Nik Baker. John Skye had a good run after a bad start in the single elimination – he got through several heats before losing to new Dad Micah Buzianis. Other interesting results: Jonas Ceballos beat Pete Volwater before losing to Antoine Albeau. Graham Ezzy beat Julien Taboulet. Victor Fernandez got through to the last 12 before being beaten by Campello. In the final stages, there were some killer heats: Levi Siver against Jason Polakow was a classic with Polakow winning to meet Kevin Pritchard who he beat to meet Josh Angulo in the final. Josh was, as ever, cool as a cucumber and after not sailing all day, he went out and sailed the perfect wave heat. Polakow mis-timed a wave, crashed out leaving Josh to show off his wave riding style. Aloha Classic Results 1. Josh Angulo 1. Iballa Moreno
PWA Overall Wave 2006 1. Kevin Pritchard 1. Iballa Moreno
