The Idol is the sail for new school freestyle — duck moves, air moves, and the sort of riding where the sail has to go completely neutral for a fraction of a second and then load straight back up. It is not a wave sail with a different sticker on it.
Five sizes from 3.6 to 5.2 on an RDM mast, with a black/violet colourway for 2027. Stock is due in shortly — you can pre-order now and we'll get yours out as soon as it lands.

The batten-free centre
There is a deliberately large gap between the foot batten and the batten above the boom, and it changes how the sail loads. Instead of a binary on-off, the power builds progressively — which is what makes a duck move feel controllable on the first attempt rather than the fiftieth. It goes neutral when you need it to and reloads cleanly on the way out.
Staying loaded in the air
The convex Dacron luff panel keeps its elasticity so the sail stays loaded when you're pulling lift against it mid-move. The hollow lower leech locks the profile above the boom and kills leech flutter. iROCKET 2.0 batten tensioners are torque-wrenched individually at the factory, so it rigs right the first time.
Built for crashes
Double Seam construction puts triple-stitch zig-zag seams through every crash area and the battens are break-resistant epoxy. There's also a foil eyelet if you want to take it out on a foil, and the full VTS trim system.

💡 Sam's Tip
Be honest about what you want it for. If you're learning to jibe and planing on a freewave board, the Duke will do far more for you. If you're actually training freestyle moves on flat water, nothing in the range comes close to this — and the 4.4 and 5.2 are the two that get used most in UK winds. Pair it with the Skate D/LAB if you want the full freestyle setup.
