David Ezzy
For nearly a decade, the Ezzy Cheetah has set the industry standard for no-cam freeride sails. Known for the perfect combination of stability, speed, and ease of use. The 2023 Cheetah progresses forward as the most advanced freeride sail we have ever built. The new Cheetah features a substantial 1/2 pound (230 gram) weight reduction in each size. The new sail springs to life in your hands with an enhanced high-end range, snappier sail rotation, and higher top speed.
The Cheetah is one of our best-selling sails because of the wide wind range and uniquely stable design. David Ezzy’s philosophy of incremental improvements year after year means that this new sail will feel familiar and compatible with your quiver, while boosting performance. The Cheetah features the endo-batten profile system that locks the shape into the panels, making the Cheetah very stable and intuitive to sail. The calibrated downhaul system insures an accurate and precise downhaul setting every time you rig.
As with all Ezzy Sails, quality and durability are baked into the design ensuring you will log many years of reliable sailing on your Cheetah. Every sail is rigged in our factory by our experienced craftsmen who scrutinize every millimeter from headcap to pulley. While rigged, the battens are tuned to be ready right out of the bag for your first session. We obsess over our quality, so you can enjoy the Cheetah today and for many years to come.

Quality is our strenght
In 1983 David Ezzy made his first windsurfing sail under the Ezzy Sail black and white eagle logo. He started his custom sail business on Maui in an old shed that has since become a sleek design loft. Back then, custom sails were the means to success for every serious sailor and Ezzy Sails led the sailing revolution. Ezzy made sails that were renowned for their “Hookipa” traits: strength and power.
Now the Ezzy factory is housed in a 20,000 square foot, brand-new building in Srilanka owned by David Ezzy and the factory staff. It is a safe, non-toxic work environment with state-of-the-art computer cutting machines, employee amenities such as a staffed kitchen, transportation, uniforms and a music sound system. The distribution reach of Ezzy Sails has expanded to cover most countries worldwide. Word of mouth spreads the knowledge of the high quality standards behind the name Ezzy and the company continues to grow.
