After having been completely redesigned last year, we just reviewed the 2012 model improving durability and adding a perfect fine tuning for each size. From 3,3to 5,7 you will always find the ultra light handling and extreme control the Manic isknown for. It is soft, balanced and neutral on waves. It reacts immediately and thepressure can turned directly to on or off. Nevertheless, it will bring you through thewhite-water zone without any problem. The 2012er design offers even more pureManic feeling than ever! It will be difficult to find a better all rounder for waves orstormy days! In big waves the incredible handling makes the Manic a class of itsown for both light and heavy riders!

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
Peter:”After the extreme update last year where we adopted many of the development details of theIQ, this year the main task was to fine tune each size and go into the detail.”
The new panel layout optimally supports the design characteristics with the radial cut that evenlyspreads the forces generated at tack and clew into the sail body.We redesigned and properly protected the bottom of the sail window, we increased the width of theleechpanel. The result is a light and convincing sail, even more durable than before. The Dacron luffpanel was maintained for a resilient and soft feel. The shape is kept in the front of the sail so you willnever loose control. The profile which is locked low in the sail combined with the perfect leech twistmake the Manic smooth and easy even in the biggest waves and most extreme conditions.

ROSS WILLIAMS SAYS
“The 2011 Manic has already convinced me completely. The new design and details make the saileasier to handle and at the same time it becomes more robust. I can hit the wave always 100% withoutthinking about any damages. Thanks Peter, I call that perfect precision work!”

BOTTOM LINE
The Manic is a great sail for all conditions and all surfers. When it comes to performance in big waves,it is to a class by itself, a radical wave sail with absolutely neutral handling no matter what happens!
