It looked like fun to try a sail on the SUP in (really) small waves. So I bought a 6.2 Global wave sail from MauiSails and gave it a try after mounting a bigger wave fin on the SUP Board. Sailing up-wind went relatively well, to my surprise. There is definitely no planning with the Whopper, but with some additional power of the sail it is easy to glide from small waves.

See here an early preview of the new Simmer Style SCR race sails.
One of the most remarkable design features is the integrated clew design in order to get a better aerodynamics. The material used in the sail have also been modified to lighter material in the top part of the sail to reduce the weight of that specific part by 10%. There are many more special features which we will post later.
