The Evoq is crafted for the experieced wave sailor who demands radical performance while appreciating a more relaxed and controllable ride. Engineered for plug-and-play versatility, the Evoq delivers exceptional performance across a range of conditions, whether you’re focused on jumping, wave riding, or charging in massive surf.

After the success of the 2024 Evoq, we have continued refining the sail’s design for 2025, enhancing its overall performance. Key improvements include increased forward drive, precise adjustments to the cutline and luff curve, and an optimized panel layout to reduce seams while maximizing the potential of the chosen materials. These enhancements create a lightweight sail with exceptional build quality. The 2025 Evoq also features one of the smoothest twists we’ve ever crafted, resulting in highly refined and responsive handling on the water. 

The Evoq’s design features a split batten configuration tailored for optimal handling across all sizes. The 3.7 to 4.7 sizes utilize a 4-batten panel layout, while the 5.0 to 6.2 sizes incorporate a 5-batten panel layout. This strategic design allows for precise batten spacing, ensuring the ideal balance of draft and stability. The sail sizes are progressively engineered, with smaller sizes featuring a reduced sail profile for control, and larger sizes providing additional low-end power for early planing in lighter winds.

To inspire confidence in demanding conditions, the main window of the 3.7 to 5.3 sizes is constructed with wide-spaced X-Ply for durability, while the larger sizes utilize monofilm to maximize visibility and performance. The Evoq is designed to meet the needs of experienced wave sailors, delivering peak performance in all conditions, from gusty onshore winds to pumping surf on the north shore. Its versatility ensures you’re covered no matter the environment.

Competition Wave Performance

The 2025 Blacktip sail has been meticulously engineered with a singular focus: equipping Marc Paré with the optimal tool to achieve his ambition of becoming the Wave World Champion. During the design collaboration between Marc and Tomas Persson, the primary objectives were clear; create a sail that offers light handling, a broad wind range, a balanced feel, and a more forward-driven performance.

For the larger sail sizes, maneuverability has been significantly enhanced through an increased aspect ratio. This adjustment is particularly beneficial for executing high-scoring maneuvers, such as double forwards, even with sail sizes ranging from 5.3 to 5.9 square meters. In contrast, the smaller sizes have been specifically optimized with a lower aspect ratio and an extended boom length, thereby expanding their wind range and enhancing performance in extreme high-wind conditions.

The new Blacktip incorporates a forward-focused drive, achieved by increasing the distance between the central body battens and implementing vertical shaping. This design change allows more material to fill up, creating additional drive when accelerating into powerful turns. A weight reduction of approximately 6% compared to the 2024 Blacktip has been realized by refining the panel layout to minimize seams and maximizing material properties, taping, overlapping scrims, eliminating unnecessary use of marker cloth using infusion printing for graphics, and redesigning the tack fairing to further reduce weight. Ease of use has also been a critical design consideration. The luff curve has been finely adjusted so that when the sail catches a gust, it accelerates smoothly without destabilizing, to ensure optimal performance in all conditions.
