Just got myself a couple 2010 Maui Sails Locos. This is Maui Sails' freestyle sail which was developed with Taty Frans. First impression is that the sail is very balanced and neutral. The sail seems to generate power from all over the sail without feeling top-heavy. It just feels like very well distributed skin tension with some release at the top. It sets w/ a lot less rotation and hard shape than many other freestyle sails that I've used, so it's still good for sail handling tricks like duck tacks, and it really goes neutral very easily. The new orange colorway is also nice. My 5.6 is orange, and my 5.2 is blue... for all the people who sail with me. I like to have each size a different color so other people can tell what size I'm using. Maui Sails have also changed their material for the integrated mast pad, which should be more durable. My only session so far was a very brief and light wind sesh at Candlestick. I'm looking forward to testing it out some more!
