2026 Simmer Blacktip Pro
Price range: £669.00 through £769.00
Key Performance Advantages
- Premium low-stretch materials – Quick reactivity and minimal profile distortion
- Effortless performance – Smooth power delivery, light, balanced
- Reinforced detailing for greater durability – longer lasting high performance
The 26/27 Blacktip Pro links its performance directly to the Team Carbon and has been re-engineered to deliver lightweight power and razor-sharp responsiveness across all wave sailing conditions. Marc Paré’s development objective was clear: create top-end performance with maximum ease of use, combining lightweight handling with a highly durable construction.
The luff curve has been re-designed to make the sail more forgiving and easier to handle, delivering a smoother in-hand feel. To further enhance responsiveness, we developed a new laminated scrim—VX-Ply—that combines vertically aligned fibers with an X-Grid for maximum durability. VX-Ply stretches significantly less, ensuring optimal load distribution across the entire sail body.
The Blacktip Pro is built for durability, with load controling VX patches and reinforcement that achieve superior load control and longer-lasting performance. By removing the upper stretch control, the sail now delivers more precise twist under load, extending its wind range even further.
The 26/27 Blacktip Pro is a maneuver-focused wave sail designed for effortless PRO-level performance in all conditions. With enhanced durability, lightweight handling, and Simmer’s legendary build quality, it will take your wavesailing to the next level.

Panel Layout Designed for Load Alignment
Form follows function: every panel and patch in the layout is strategically aligned with the sail’s specific load paths across all sizes. The performance benefits are substantial:
-
Quick power transition – quick to power up and de-power with a smoother in-hand feel.
-
Massive wind range – increased wind range on both low and high wind, giving full control in overpowered conditions without sacrificing low-end drive.
-
Effortless performance – light, balanced, and nimble in maneuvers, delivering instant response and explosive rotation the moment you commit.
NEW MATERIAL // VX-Ply
The new VX-Ply significantly reduces sail deformation compared to the previously used Q-Ply material. Vertical stretch is reduced by more than 20% in high-load areas, while VX-Ply is also 30% thicker than Q-Ply, making it far more durable. The result: improved responsiveness, a wider wind range, and enhanced durability.
Durable Foot Panel
4 MIL Bi-Ply foot panel, light and durability, with frame of VX-Ply in the leach for extra strength.
Overlapping VX-Ply Clew Patches
Direct handling and enhanced durability in the sail’s high-tension clew area.
Compared to the Team Carbon the Blacktip Pro has:
- more luff curve providing additional stability
- VX-Ply in the leech panels provides smoother twist
- greater spacing between the lower two battens at the leech which promote
- improved passive early planing
- new materials for enhanced durability
- slightly more power

Simmer G7 Omnia Windsurfing Board
// WAVE-FOCUSED FREEWAVE
The new Omnia is a completely new shape from the ground up. It is a classic freewave board that combines fast and crisp freeride performance with remarkable abilities also for wave sailing. The board is based on work done with our pro team starting in 2021. Our team requested a board that was extremely fast, but at the same time very controlled for radical jumping conditions in Pozo. The board needed grip and speed for tight turns in wind swell environments. For this, we went to the drawing board and developed a new rocker with added curvature from the front-strap-area to the front of the mast track, but with a super fast tail. This we combined with a new vee-profile that is flatter in the center with the vee accelerating both towards the nose and tail. Particularly in the front part of the board, this vee is combined with a double concave. The flat tail rocker gives the board its high-speed stability, with the low center vee providing good pop and agility, while the double concave in the front part of the board acts as a cushion, making the board a real chop absorber.
When thinking about ideas for the new Simmer Freewave board, we had our team riders raving about the combination of speed and control of this bottom profile on our minds and decided to base our new freewave development on it. After some iterations, we ended up with a swallow tail outline with a relatively wide and stable nose and a curvature distribution that keeps the tail relatively straight for added grip. Interestingly, now the development went in the other direction, and the outline from the production prototypes was brought over to the to the 75-liter pro model version that is now a part of the production lineup, sporting five slot boxes. The rest of the lineup uses the exact same bottom shape and progressively slightly fuller rails on the bigger models. Except for the 75, all sizes have a center powerbox and slot box thruster boxes. The Omnia replaces the Helix. It provides a faster and more agile ride with added performance in waves, while at the same time feeling more fun and exciting in a straight line. The name Omnia stands for “seize everything,” which explains the board characteristics to the point.
Simmer SX10 100% Carbon RD Mast
SX10 RDM
100% PRE-PREG CARBON // PRO WAVE
The SX10 masts present the best performance in the range with the fastest possible reflex response possible, giving the sails turbo-charged acceleration, an extremely wide wind range, and lightweight handling.
SX10 stands for 100% carbon content. They are designed from a top grade and high tensile strength pre-preg carbon. This technology ensures optimum control of resin content and resin distribution throughout the laminate. The carbon layup features and inner layers of 45 degree carbon weave to control torsion and quick reflex response. The outer layer carbon has a 90 degree orientation for highest possible strength.
The SX10 mast feature a progressive constant curve which means that the bend curve is constant but the base is stiffer than the top. This provides optimal sail dynamics allowing the bottom of the sail to generate power, and the top of the rig to quickly release power.
The mast is the spine of the rig, so to get the best possible performance out of your rig, choose SX10.

2023 Simmer Enduro – Blue 5.9 & 6.5
2023 Enduro
The Enduro combines bump n’jump wavesailing and freeride performance into one sail. We have designed the Enduro to get you up and planing earlier, and when the wind picks up keep you in control longer. This is the pure essence of windsurfing, no fuss, just fun. Recreational freeriders and bump n’jump enthusists alike chose Enduro for its versatility and manueverability. Stable and forgiving, the Simmer Style Enduro stays efficient through gusts and offers full control at high speeds. This control also makes the Enduro an ideal sail for foiling.
The 2021/2022 Enduro features increased efficiency, utilizing traits passed down from our freerace sails. The enhanced shaping profile draws more energy from the mast, which results in exponentially increased power delivery. The new vertical shaping techniques allows us to create a more harmonious sail profile which results in a more even skin tension between all areas of the sail, providing a more balanced and effective rig. The Enduro fits into the range just between the Icon with its manueverbility combined with the power and stability of the VMax. With its manoeuvre-oriented geometry and powerful sail profile, the Enduo allows you to make the most out any conditions that you encounter. Hook a turn or go blasting with your mates, the Enduro’s got you covered.
