The Tushingham Storm has set the benchmark for all-round performance in high winds and chop since Tushingham were the first to recognise that not all high wind sailors were wave sailors

The Storm Force 10 represents a major upgrade for 2010. Ken Blacks design brief was to retain the forgiving nature, yet deliver a lighter, crisp feel in transitions, whether in a simple gybe, on a wave face or through the latest new-school freestyle trick. The actual character of the sail varies with sails:

 3.5m - 4.5m

When you're using a sail this small, the water and wind conditions demand a sail that's cut for ultimate control. Whilst the reasonably high foot and easy rotation keep the Storm F10 out of trouble in waves; the 'Rock' (wave sail) has the leading role when it comes to manoeuvre based sailing. Consequently, in these sizes the Storm F10 is cut with a twist profile that will hold the board on the water in gusts. A 'locked in' feel is achieved by retaining reasonable boom lengths and shaping the power in low down which, makes high-wind freeride a pleasure; even in choppy or rough water.

4.75m - 5.75m

The mid range sizes are the true Storm all-rounders, they have to work in all sea and wind states from flat and marginal through to rough and gusty. It's crusial that the power delivery is adaptable for both locked-in freeride sailing and a more upright manoeuvre oriented stance. The tuning range has been maximised so that the sails will work in virtually any windsurfing environment.

6.0m - 6.5m

The larger Storm F10's are now oriented towards earlier planing, crisp power delivery and easy manoeuving. Speed and straight-line performance remain, but those seeking ultimate no-cam freeride speed are well served by the T'bird 3. Subtle adjustments have been introduced in outline, seam shape and luff curve to increase low end power and to deliver a particularly light feel in transitions.
