POISON The Poison is the most classic sail in the lineup. It still features and xply luff panel, slightly stiffer shaping, and a higher clew. For 2011, its luff and booms are updated, but it still has that torque quality from yesterdays Poison. This sail excels in real world, and onshore conditions, while remaining rock solid in the top end. Gaastra has quite an impressive team right now. must be great to work with all these athletes... R&D: Our team is amazing. Without them, the sails wouldnt be where they are today. We rely on them for endless feedback. Their complaints and wishes are what drive the development cycle. FREESTYLE In freestyle we have Kiri, Tonky, Kiri, Steven, Davy u name it. There is no question that we ARE the guys to beat. Overall, weve been the strongest team in freestyle for years. These guys are always looking for light, ultra maneuverable sails that still have the pop to get them moving after stomping a trick. WAVES For our wave equipment division, we have Ross, Kevin, Alex and Thomas Kevin is nearly unbeatable at Hookipa, while Alex and Thomas are innovators, and perhaps the most exciting free-sailors in the world. Ross drives hard, and has the ever-impressive ability to make anything look easy. We get different perspectives from these guys, which is perfect when we sit down to create a design brief. RACING You want to talk about a powerhouse lineup? Our Gaastra Race Team consists of Ross, Arnon, Kevin, Cedric, Sarah Q, and Alberto. These guys know what they want, and demand excellence in their equipment. Its hard work to try to keep them happy, but the resultant product is spectacular. We feel pretty lucky to have this much talent in our camp. The VAPOR is all new designed by Peter Munzlinger, Gaastras new designer... any news? Peter: Im happy to already have found such great success with this sail. Having the accessibility to the latest and greatest materials combined with a great production facility make this job a dream! It has been a team effort together with Arnon and Alberto and we are just beginning. My focus has always been on creating fast sails and I will continue doing this year round! The whole team is responsible for the Vapor development, with each adding a big chunk of ideas and feedback into the mix. Ross brings Formula championships and top rankings in Slalom. Kevins been the champ before, and Cedric has the determination to make his mark. In the end, its feedback, development, work... We follow our passion, and the customers reap the benefits. Where and how, and with whom do you test the slalom sails? R&D: Maui, Sardinia, Marseille, Germany, Argentina, and every single stop on the PWA tour. The development is an endless process, and an endless commitment. Its our job, and we love it.

MANIC RE - INVENTED.
This years Manic sees a complete new design outlook. The luff has been shortened and has a wider head to compensate for this. The Manic borrows design ideas from the IQ while retaining all its successful features from the past, creating a sail that is perfect for any rider. R&D: We had to step up the Manics design for this year. We went to the drawing board and came up with a morph of the IQ and the Manic... we combined the two and have what I would consider the perfect balance! The all new design features the same quality you would always demand from the Manic. The Dacron Luff Panel provides a soft responsive and elastic drive. The shape stays locked forward so you are always in control. Flat profiles and the perfect twist make the sail ultra smooth and fun to ride. You can turn it on or off instantly. The Manic holds true to its roots- A sail that you can rely on in any condition. Kevin Pritchard: Im stoked on the new Manic. It has that new feeling I am looking for- it is more compact so I can smack the lip harder and let loose! It really compliments my quad fin boards and makes me feel like Im riding a smaller sail with just as much power. Bottom line:
The Manic delivers greatness to any condition. It will perform in strong winds, light winds, choppy waters, smooth water or whatever you can throw at it. It is a great high wind sail for riders looking for perfect harmony in their rigs. No matter what level of sailor you are, you cant go wrong with the Manic!

The Poison will perform in just about any condition. It is great for the big guys wave sail. Power to move, stability in the high winds. More backhanded power as compared to Manic and IQ. Makes for a great bump and jump sail for lakes, rivers or other places when the wind is less consistent.

CROSS
REMEDY REMAKE.
The all New CROSS is derived from the ever-popular Remedy range... It achieves the same performance as the Remedy while reducing luff lengths and continuing to generate speed, power and control. A perfect freeride design. R&D: The Cross is a fun sail to ride. It is easy to rig, has top end speed and stability and with the new wider head and shortened luff it feels more alive. Refined profiles along with a wider head give quick acceleration and stableness in both gusts and lulls! The 6 batten skeleton offers great top end speed and control. Composition tube battens keep the draft locked and loaded. The higher foot cutout makes jibing FUN and waterstarting much easier. Ross Williams: I love riding the Cross on those days when it is flat and I want to just cruise around. I can duck jibe it, do some freestyle tricks and pass a lot of guys sailing full cambered sails! The Cross is one sail that I could take anywhere and have plenty of fun with in any condition! Bottom line:
The Cross is one of those sails that can handle anything. No matter if you are a beginner or advanced expert, the sail delivers everything you need. Going fast or dabbling in some small waves, the Cross will save the day!

MATRIX
FREEDOM TO FLY.
The pinnacle of freeride sails the ever-popular Matrix boasts some great new looks and maintains perfect performance. A no cam freeride sail that has top end speed and control without sacrificing planing power! Hook in and Hang on... R&D: We spend a lot of time on this sail making sure it is just right- we want a rig that has early planing characteristics that can go fast! Precise profiles and with a wider head give quick acceleration and stableness in both gusts and lulls! A 6 batten configuration offers great top end speed and control. Composition tube battens keep the draft locked. The low foot cutout increases speed and enables you to close the gap for fast runs! Arnon Dagan: Simply brilliant- I have had some speed runs on this sail and am impressed with how stable it is! The R&D team has done a great job to get a freeride sail to go this fast! Bottom line:
If easy rigging and blasting back and forth is what you like to do, you will be impressed with the Matrix. A no-cam sail that has speed to burn! Fun with function make this one of our most popular sails!

SWIFT
SWEETNESS.
The newly designed twin cam recreational sail stands out with all new features. A magazine test winner, the Swift is ready for flat out fun anytime in any condition! R&D: We worked hard to deliver a twin cam sail that has plenty of power and stability. We have repositioned the shape to lock in more forward keeping the sail accelerating in gusts. Less drag means more speed! This 2 cam freeride sail locks in the draft and sets a new boundary for a twin cam rig. A six batten skeleton is used for sizes 6.0 and up while a 5 batten setup is used from 5.5 and down. Gaastras signature triangulated load bearing panels ensure ultimate strength to weight ratio. Kevin Pritchard: For a twin cam sail, I could go pretty fast on the Swift. It was easy in my hands and had a steady pull to get me going- It was light and fun to ride! Bottom line:
If you want a cam sail that is light and tight, the Swift is your answer. With 2 cams you get good top end stability and will be able to keep the sail locked and loaded through the lulls. An easy to use cam sail that is a great step from a RAF rig towards a more race like rig.

SAVAGE
BEAUTIFUL BEAST.
The all new no- cam race sail that delivers top of the line Vapor like performance combined with Matrix like rigging. The merge of two sail types into one! A fire breathing weapon that will smoke any RAF sail that gets close! R&D: This particular sail has been on our list of things we wanted to make... and here it is. A sail that can rig easily and perform with the other guys on cambered sails. An 8 batten skeleton combined with the inset clew deliver stellar performance. A revolutionary concept built to annihilate all challengers. Ross Williams: If there was a PWA discipline requiring no- cam sails this baby would be the bomb! I was impressed with the speed and handling! Bottom line:
For those that want race like performance without the hassle of cams, this is the easy choice. You could think of this sail as the RAF Vapor.
The Inset Clew shortens the boom, provides effortless acceleration, and higher performance in disturbed wind and choppy conditions. The Inset Clew provides automatic depower control in puffs, by allowing the battens to twist open behind the boom. Normally, in a gust the center of effort moves backward and the draft increases making the sail feel backhanded, and unwieldy. This invention stabilizes the draft depth and holds the center of effort forward keeping the power in your hands where it belongs. Unlike competitors, the Gaastra Inset Clew repositions the boom and center of effort without compromising the outline. This allows the battens above and below the boom to react to the automatic depower this feature provides. Keeping the area beneath the back of the boom prevents us from needing to put that area somewhere else. Furthermore, this helps maintain a low and easily controlled center of effort. A protective silica bead around the inside of the opening and a maintenance free mini-batten beneath it guarantee smooth shape and infinite longevity.
