I am considering to buy a longboard and I’d like to have a few suggestions about the best sails for a longboard in production today. From reviews, it seems that sails like the Aerotech Zenith, the Maui MS2 and Maui TR-5 were excellent for longboarding , but they are no longer in production today and not easy to find on the 2nd hand market. Kona and Bic do make sails specifically for their longboards and they may be an option, but I’d like to know if there are other reliable brands or models recommended for LB.
Does Aerotech manufacture longboarding sails replacing (or having similar characteristics to) the Zenith? Also the MS Blaze ,the Ezzy Lion, along with the Severne Turbo ( not easy to find in Quebec, Canada) seem interesting. From what I see, the key for good longboarding performance is a relatively small DH and a tight leech, possibly a less pronounced luff curve. Any sails with these features today? Any comments or suggestions about the best LB sails?

THanks
