Kai Hopf took a lot of inspiration from the DUKE without loosing top speed. Similarities can be recognized in the luff curve and the new, lighter PROGRESSIVE.BATTEN.CONFIGURATION. Up to 6.6 m2, the NATURAL's carefully balanced construction focuses on easy handling and a stable center of effort (Freemove) with only five battens. From 7.0 m2 upwards, the design favors early planing (Freeride) with easy handling and a simple rig setup. Both versions offer excellent control, a high level of comfort and lots of planing power, creating a perfect synthesis of speed, acceleration and easy handling.
