The all-new 2012 Loftsails Switchblade is performance optimization through the entire range of use.  With 3 Tekcams and the cross-batten concept, Switchblades enjoy innovative rig ergonomics that result in faster rig for many sailors- compared to dedicated slalom designs- due to its ease of use.
High luff-elasticity and exceptional balance provides enormous wind range. Effective downhaul trim range over 5cm can morph the Switchblade from a light wind powerhouse to high-wind race winning performance . 
The 2012 Switchblade designs are targeted at performance light wind/upwind, slalom, wide boards & raceboards (with centerboard).

The exclusive Blade mast pocket construction creates clean, fully loaded mast pockets with equalized loading (rotation ease).
Switch the exclusive Loft Rdm Tekcams to Sdm Tekcams,  and your Switchblade fits the mast you choose, bringing the best balanced feeling you search for. 
For rdm masts- 3 Reduced Tekcams are packed into the sailbag… simply remove the Large Tekcams, and place the Reduced Tekcams. Switch! Simple!
