The Best Just Got Bigger: Costa Launches Mainsail XL

When you’ve spent your life chasing waves, building boats, and living by the ocean, you learn a thing or two about gear that can keep up. A legend in the world of pro-surfing and true waterman Conner Coffin knows this well, and now, he’s introducing his latest go-to frame: Mainsail XL, a size extension of one of Costa’s best-selling Hybrid frames, providing a broader reach while offering the same functionality, versatility, and aesthetic water adventurers have come to know and love.

Conner’s life has always been rooted in the water, but these days, his journey stretches far beyond surfing. From traveling with his family and spearfishing, to making music and experimenting in the kitchen, his gear needs to be as versatile as his lifestyle. This is where Mainsail XL comes in, built to keep up, wherever the day leads.

“Life lately has taken me everywhere and my days are full of adventures – some out on the ocean, others in the studio or the kitchen,” shares Costa Pro Conner Coffin. “Mainsail XL is the first frame that checks every box for me. It’s got the performance I need on the water and the laid-back look I want off it.”

Built for those who loved the original Mainsail but needed a roomier fit, Mainsail XL delivers increased coverage, maximum comfort, and everyday versatility. It’s designed for adventurous watermen who demand high performance without sacrificing personal style. Mainsail XL offers all-day comfort with Hydrolite temples and vented nose pads for a secure, fog-reducing grip. Micro side shields and top hooding help block glare, while retainer-ready temple tips keep the frames locked in when the adventure gets serious.
