Gaastra GTX 2008Gaastra GTX 2008 Ref: 205
Compatible with masts that are length and IMCS equal. Freeride speed machine.

In the words of Dave White : “Screaming across the water its impossible to believe the GTX isn’t a full-blooded race machine, but crank into the gybe and the light freeride nature of the GTX rewards with a smooth effortless transition. The combination of Dacron and ultra-light PM05 Dimension Polyant scrim build of the medium luff pocket produces a dynamic foil from which legends are born.”

• A medium wide Luff sock for perfect aerodynamics.

• A very light feel on the hands and nearly unlimited speed potential. The

fine tuning for this sail had optimized

• Luff curves a friction more draft in the base section and a even cleaner look on the whole Sail.

Sailing Style

• The GTX is the new #1 on your Lake

Gaastra Swift 2008Gaastra Swift 2008 Ref: 76
Compatible with masts that are length and IMCS equal.

The Swift is one of the top sellers, bringing back the easy planing light weight feeling to all freeride boards.

The Swift is fairly easy to rig, and it has the benefit of a solid feel especially in the bigger sizes. The Swift seems to be a good mixture between performance and easy handling.

Don’t let be mislead by the word ‘easy’. It has plenty of power and is perfectly suited for all crossover boards. It changes its character slightly through the sizes to fit the needs of the customer.
