Jump on the Panther 3 and notice how easily it sails: no yank forward, no back-hand pressure, just a velvety smooth ride. Its low weight makes the Panther extra easy to toss around.
But despite its lightness, the Panther is strong. Each region of the sail consists of a unique material designed to address the loads specific to that part of the sail.
And even though the Panther 3 is the most tunable wave sail on the water, it is also easy to rig thanks to the color coded downhaul marks and the color coded outhaul cords, making the sail’s massive wind range easy to navigate.
And of course, quality is guaranteed because we rig every sail in our factory before it’s shipped.
At Ezzy we offer unmatched customer service.

What materials are used in the Panther 3?
- Spectra-fiber X ply: tear resistant for the luff and window areas
- High density Spectra-fiber X ply: puncture resistant for the foot and tack
- Technora-fiber sail cloth: Unidirectional Technora combined with a polyester scrim. It is light weight and much stronger and more durable.
- Tri-Lite scrim sail cloth: lightweight for the upper-central area
- Weft-stop sleeve cloth: tear and abrasion resistant for the sleeve
- Vinyl window: guarantees perfect visibility for the life of the sail

Note on Ezzy Masts
Ezzy Sails work great with the Ezzy Mast system, but also work with a variety of other brand masts (RDM and regular diameter). You could contact your mast maker and see if the bend of your non-Ezzy mast is compliant.
Ezzy mast bend curves are tip: 75% to 79% and base: 62% to 65%
Note: this is not carbon content. This is percentage bend relative to the midpoint bend.
For further info on Ezzy Mast sizing, please refer to our Mast Configurator Tool
Our removable, 316 stainless steel tack pulley can be replaced with our 316 stainless D-ring for those who prefer a grommet with a pulley hook.
Our colored outhaul makes rigging easy
“What can I say, Dave has done it again. It’s not luck, I can vouch for that!!! Dave is testing at the beach everyday there is wind!! It blows me away!!! Whether I go to, Kanaha, Spreks, or Ho’okipa, Dave is there. Sometimes I’m convinced he’s at two places at once. I can say with confidence that no one else puts as much work into their sails as Dave. The 2011’s are sick!!
At first, I only had one sail (4.7 panther) that Dave brought back from the factory. After a few weeks I realized I hadn’t sailed anything but the new 4.7. I also realized that the wind had been super strong and super light yet I was always on the 4.7. I’ll let that speak for itself. The new sails feel insane!! I’m not sure if its because they feel so balanced and in control or if it’s because they feel so light. Probably a combination of the two. Though the Ezzys always seem to improve with leaps and bounds, there is something special about the 2011’s. Simply put, I’m having more fun windsurfing with the 2011’s than ever before!!! ”

“I have just had some great sailing on the PANTHER 3 in both Brazil and now Cape Town and am now in a position to offer feedback. Having been on the Panthers for 2 years now I am pleased to say that the same easy Ezzy feel is there with super smooth handling and a supreme wind range yet now the sails just feel that bit lighter, again, and smoother with the increased tri- lam area.
This reduced weight is both physical, as you pick it up and rig it, and also dynamic, through handling of the sail in gybes, waves and freestyle. I am loving the new colours too and they certainly stand out waaay more on the water too.
Once again everything is easy with an Ezzy”
