Ezzy tried to maintain his close involvement in the operation of the factory, but cost-cutting decisions began to take precedence over sail quality and even took precedence over the human rights of the Sri Lankan factory workers.

David visited other sail lofts in Sri Lanka and China with the idea of manufacturing Ezzy sails, but his early experience of having control over the quality at North Sails Windsurfing, made him realize that he would have to own his own factory to produce the high quality sails he wanted.

Meanwhile, his former colleagues at North Sails, the Sri Lankan nationals, organized themselves and approached David to start a factory of his own with them.

In those bold days, the friends started a new venture with a shared ownership in Ezzy Sails Sri Lanka.

These top North Sails Winsurfing Sri Lankan managers and supervisors all became proud Ezzy Sails’ employees and part owners.

The venture began in a small, old building in a town outside of the industrial zone.

Nowadays Ezzy is still on the market.

He made the right decisions back in the 90ties and still has the main goal to produce high quality products.

David Ezzy – Interview
on 13. March, 2013
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.
