Since the Simmer team constantly travels the world, and experience so many diverse conditions, they felt there was a gap to be filled between the pure wave sails (X Flex and Vision) and the more onshore power oriented Simmer Crossover.
So they decided to design a sail that could fill that gap. The Simmer Icon for 2006 is a full x-ply wave sail that will work and last in any wave spot in the world, in any conditions. Icon is an “in between” when it comes to categorizing sails as onshore or side-shore. The bigger sizes feature a shorter boom and longer mast than the Crossover while the smaller sizes has been given a slightly longer boom and shorter mast in comparison to the Crossover to make it a full on all-terrain, hardcore, wave- sail. The body panel materials consist of the latest and strongest materials available on the market to ensure the highest possible durability.
Victor Fernandez talkes about the Simmer Icon sail: -“I’ve been traveling the world competing in the PWA for some years now and at times I’ve come across spots with really unpredictable conditions, this sail has the best of both worlds and will take on any spot, any conditions at any time and not let you down”.
