The KS3 Lithium represents a quantum leap in wave sail design. We’ve taken one of the world’s best-selling 3-batten sails and transformed it into the undisputed lightest production wave sail on the planet. Our 4.9m standard KS3 weighs 3.10kg – impressive on its own. The Lithium version slashes that weight by an astounding 30%, delivering just 2.1kg of pure, uncompromising performance.

But the revolution goes beyond weight. Developed in partnership with Dimension/Polyant, Lithium’s advanced materials create an entirely new riding experience. When underpowered, the sail feels tighter and more powerful, helping you plane earlier. When overpowered, it becomes softer and more forgiving than the standard KS3, delivering that coveted « surfy » feel that makes wave riding truly magical.

A Legacy of Championship Victories

Initially developed in 2013 by Kauli Seadi, Jeffrey Henderson, and Tom Hammerton, the KS3 has earned its reputation as the finest and most respected 3-batten wave sail in the world. Many consider it among the best wave sails, period, regardless of batten count.

The results speak for themselves: multiple Aloha Classic victories in the pro division, Bernd Roediger’s 2022 PWA wave contest win in Capo Verde against the world’s elite, and his 2024 Aloha Classic championship. The KS3 stands alone as the only 3-batten sail proven to dominate at the highest levels of competitive wave riding. For down-the-line wave sailing, many riders consider it simply the best in the world.

Explosive Response, Rock-Solid Stability

The KS3 is the most stable and direct sail in our lineup. Its 3-batten design dramatically reduces sail momentum, translating to lightning-fast response times and exceptional feel. The result? More explosive wave rides, quicker aerial maneuvers, and precise control exactly when you need it.

Even in flat water conditions, the KS3 excels. It maintains a locked-in feel across all wind ranges and seemingly refuses to become overpowered, giving you confidence in any conditions.

Game-Changing Window Technology

The ultra-lightweight 125-micron Lithium monofilm window is a revelation. Crystal clear and remarkably durable, the thinner film is actually less prone to cracking than heavier monofilm while feeling noticeably less stiff. The window extends all the way to the mast, providing virtually unrestricted vision while wave riding.

This enhanced peripheral vision isn’t just a convenience – it fundamentally improves your balance and spatial awareness, making jibes cleaner and maneuvers more intuitive. It’s the most significant evolution in the KS3 design since its inception.

Built to Last in the Harshest Conditions

We’ve reinforced the foot area with SPIDERwebbing® ripstop and added a new top chafe pad constructed from our improved lightweight ROX Webbing. The ROX material sleeve is so tough it can even resist a broken mast.

After a decade of testing and refinement, we’ve solved the batten breakage challenge with virtually unbreakable epoxy battens that handle the extraordinary loads placed on a 3-batten sail in heavy surf. Our ballistic batten SuperSkin® on all 8mm and mini battens adds structure and contains any potential breakage, allowing for clean, damage-free replacement.

Experience the sail that’s redefining what’s possible in wave riding—the KS3 Lithium – where championship pedigree meets revolutionary innovation.

Description

The new Maui Edition Superfreak was created by Jeff to be a high performance wave sail. It features the legendary superfreak construction with shorter luff lengths, bigger window and looser leech

The LITHIUM version is a true premium edition of the legendary SFME. It’s significantly lighter, with sails weighing around just 2 kg in 4.7 m, making it more responsive and direct. The low-end power is enhanced while maintaining maximum control at the top end. This sail is the perfect choice for demanding wave riding conditions, where jumping and surfing seamlessly combine

Sail Specifications:

Developed 12 years ago by Kauli Seadi, Jeffrey Henderson and Tom Hammerton, the sail has consistently proven itself as the undisputed finest and most respected 3 batten wave sail.

Bernd Roediger winning the 2024 Aloha Classic and the Japan World Cup re-cemented ….this sail as the best wave sail regardless of number of battens.

The Ultimate Compact Wave Sail for Jumping and Spinning

The QU4D is our compact 4-batten wave sail, especially well-suited for jumping and « spinning » wave sailing with extra-fast rotations. Features the exclusive Wave Vision window that is clear all the way to the mast. The experience of wave riding with virtually no visual restrictions. This feature lets you avoid looking through a « window, » giving you a full visual range and making jibes and other maneuvers more effortless as you carve and turn through the waves.

Dual Clew Positions for Maximum Versatility

Incorporating a low clew option to improve down-the-line wave sailing, this allows the sail to mimic the KS3 boom angle, which allows you to get up and under the lip better than the high clew position. The upper clew position is better suited to extreme jumping and onshore sailing. Sailors who liked the QU4D but felt the KS3 was better down the line are now totally satisfied with QU4D in all conditions.

Built for Aerial Performance

It is a great choice for those who enjoy jumping as much as wave riding. This sail flies through the air with stunning stability and accuracy. The shorter luff lengths and boom lengths encourage fast rotations, too.

Super-Light Yet Super-Strong Construction

The QU4D features our super-light 2- and 4-mil laminates, combined with our new, very clear SlamLam® reinforced window, making this a super-strong wave sail that will take a pounding while remaining very light.

Optimized for Reduced Rig Weight

Designed to rig on short masts, the overall rig weight is reduced further. You will only need a 400 to rig the 6.0m through 5.2m, a 370 to rig the 5.0 m through 4.3 m, and a 340 for the smallest sizes.

se grée sur un mat de 370

Initialement développée en 2013 par Kauli Seadi, Jeffrey Henderson et Tom Hammerton, la KS3 s’est constamment imposée comme la meilleure et la plus respectée des voiles de vague à trois lattes. Considérée par beaucoup comme l’une des meilleures voiles de vague quel que soit le nombre de lattes, la KS3 a remporté de nombreux concours de l’Aloha Classic dans la division professionnelle. En 2022, elle a remporté le premier concours de vague de la PWA au Cap-Vert avec Bernd Roediger battant les meilleurs mondiaux sur sa KS3. C’est la seule voile à trois lattes prouvée pour performer de manière incroyable au plus haut niveau de la pratique de la vague, et beaucoup l’ont trouvée être la meilleure voile de vague de surf au monde.

La LKS3 est la voile la plus stable et la plus directe de notre gamme. Puissante mais incroyablement stable, sa conception à trois lattes a beaucoup moins d’inertie, ce qui se traduit par des temps de réponse plus rapides et une sensation améliorée. Le résultat est une vague plus explosive et une action plus rapide dans les airs. Pour ceux qui ne pratiquent pas la vague, la LKS3 est une voile incroyable qui ne semble jamais être en surpuissance et conserve une sensation verrouillée dans toutes les conditions de vent.

La fenêtre en monofilm lithium de 4 mils a été réduite en taille pour permettre le poids incroyablement léger que nous avons obtenu. Elle est très claire et résiste très bien. Le film plus fin est en fait moins vulnérable aux fissures et aux défaillances qu’un monofilm plus lourd, et il est moins raide. L’avant de la fenêtre reste ouvert vers le mât. L’expérience de la vague avec pratiquement aucune restriction visuelle rend cette fonctionnalité très améliorée. Cela est utile même sur l’eau plate lors des virements de bord. Cela rend les autres manœuvres beaucoup plus faciles en offrant une meilleure perception périphérique visuelle qui améliore votre équilibre. Il s’agit du changement le plus significatif dans la LKS3 depuis sa création.

Nous avons ajouté du SPIDERwebbing® ripstop dans la zone du pied et un nouveau patin de frottement supérieur fabriqué à partir de notre ROX Webbing léger récemment amélioré. La manche en matériau ROX résistera même à un mât cassé !

Nouveauté pour les voiles 2024, de nouvelles lattes en époxy incassables. Nous avons eu de nombreuses cassures de lattes au cours des 10 dernières années en raison des charges extraordinaires exercées sur une voile à trois lattes dans les vagues. Nous avons enfin trouvé une solution et toutes les nouvelles Hot Sails bénéficient de cette avancée significative. Nous continuons toujours avec notre SuperSkin® en batten balistique sur toutes les lattes de 8 mm et mini lattes. Cette peau ajoute de la structure et aide à contenir les cassures de lattes, permettant un remplacement sans désordre et sans dommage à la voile.

The ULTRA 100% carbon mast took 18 months to develop, we wanted the best and it takes time to achieve perfection.

The ULTRA is a no-compromise mast from the initial concept right through to the final product, no expense has been spared. Quite simply we set out to make the highest performance mast on the market.
All fibers in the ULTRA are carbon, including the boom re-enforcement.

Our mast is pure, nothing added just carbon. Following the success of the Firelight we were determined to produce a premium quality mast, which would surpass all others in terms of weight while remaining strong and dependable in tough conditions.
Throughout the development phase we tested countless masts from five different carbon factories to destruction in the brutal Hawaii waves. We constantly re-evaluated the performance and characteristics to ensure that the new mast perfectly complimented our full range of sails.

The new ULTRA RDM mast is lighter, reacts quicker and will take a respectable beating.

Made under tight controls inside the EU with British sourced Prepreg carbon the ULTRA 100% carbon mast is the performance boost you were looking for and your rig will never quite feel the same again!

Features

• RDM
• 100% Prepreg carbon construction
• Inter-changeable top and bottoms allow multiple options
• Produced in and shipped from the EU

New for 2019 we introduce the Monster RDM mast. With a carbon content of approximately 65% to significantly reduce the price while still delivering great performance. More glass is used in place of the carbon which results in great impact durability with only a small weight penalty. The Monster is available in sizes from 340 to 430cm and is a suitable mast for wave and crossover sails. If not extended, the performance is nearly as high as the Kauli for lighter sailors. In comparison it is slightly softer, a little heavier, but the difference is subtle until pushed into extreme power wind where the softer mast will feel less responsive. This mast should not be extended beyond 30cm.

MONSTER 65% CARBON RDM MAST FEATURES

RDM (Reduced Diameter Mast)

SLIGHT FLEX TOP DESIGN

As with all the masts we have produced over the decades, the Monster is a slight flex top design that delivers the perfect match to any and all Hot sails Maui sails from 1985 onwards!

SHARED JOINT

The Monster masts enjoy the same size spigot joint as the Kauli and the Ultra, so all three mast models are interchangeable

SHARED BEND
The Monster masts enjoy the same bend curve as the Kauli and the Ultra, so all three mast models are interchangeable

PREPREG CONSTRUCTION
Manufactured using pre-preg composite fiber in a ‘roll-wrapping’ process to produce masts of the highest possible standard. The unique pressure wrapping system, developed after years of exhaustive R&D ensures hi-tech composite tubing of the ultimate in strength and stiffness-to-weight ratios.

PADDED MAST BAG
Each mast is supplied with a durable padded mast bag with all plastic corrosion free zipper for convenient storage.
