The Charge is Aerotech’s down-the-line wave sail. This model has the ability to hold good power when needed but remains neutral for transitions or wave riding. The Charge features a ‘drop-clew’ design which allows for shorter boom lengths and improved handling. The Charge continues Aerotech’s tradition of 100% grid construction. Lots of color gives this sail a real “look at me” appeal. It is one of the most durable wave sails ever produced using triple throw stitch seam construction. This sail has the new Tack Strap II system that threads the ambien tack strap through the downhaul pulley for better tension with no inconvenience.

The Charge is our durable and light weight side-shore wave sail. Technora panels in the larger sizes, and four battens in the smaller sizes keep the weight to a minimum for fast and east transitions on the wave. For on-shore conditions or bump ‘n jump see the Phantom.
Construction: 100% grid, anti-chafe bumper in the head, raised stainless steel 6-1 pulley with oversized rollers, thermo-formed base pad, interactive rigging guide, rod battens, Tack Strap II system, and Technora upper panels on the larger sizes (5.8 and 6.2).
The 5.5 and down are 4 battens. This reduces weight and gives a softer feel for improved down the line wave sailing. Sizes 5.8 and 6.2 have 5 battens and upper panels made of Technora.
