GA Hybrid… ultimate allrounder!

O anche the ultimate convertible sail range… ma ancora meglio, se volete, the “trasformer”!


Come meglio si può denominare la linea Hybrid che “pensiona” in un battere d’occhio due blasonate veterane del range Gaastra come la power wave Poison e la super duttile freeride Cross, per intepretare il ruolo di vera all terrain, con un shape a 4 stecche (full X-Ply HD per resistere alle peggiori macinate) puramente wave nelle misure 3,7, 4,2 e 4,7, per evolversi un uno shape più bumb and jump, ma sempre con la costurzione full X-Ply HD con le tradizionali e “sicure” 5 battens nelle misure 5,2, 5,6, 6,0 e 6,4… per tasformarsi infine in un pura freeride sails a sei stecche nelle misure grandi 6,7, 7,2, 7,7 e 8,2!

Sul sesto numero dell’anno di Wind News (ottobre/novembre 2017) Peter Munzlinger, shaper GA, ci svelerà i segreti e le potenzialità della Hybrid 2018.

HYBRID, ULTIMATE ALLROUNDER
The ultimate convertible sail range. A high-performance quiver designed to get you on the water having fun no matter what the conditions.

FOR WHO:
Windsurfers looking for just one sail range to cover all their sailing from high wind waves to light wind flatwater. A sail width huge wind range in all kind of condition and always great fun to use.
The ultimate convertible range, the Hybrid is rich in design features.
For 2018, we took this design concept to a new level. We have created a completely integrated high performance sail with each size changing in design for the appropriate wind conditions.
One range that will finally cover all conditions from wave to freeride without losing any performance.
The smaller sizes from 3.7 to 4.7 perform like a power wave sail.
Control, early planing andmaneuverability for the windiest days and when the waves appear.
Four batten designs with Full X-Ply HD window and fiberglass battens provide maximum performance and durability.
The middle of the range from 5.2 to 6.4 progresses into a classic 5 batten bump and jump profile replacing our successful well-known Cross range from previous seasons.
The sail is fast, stable and powerful the perfect choice for when conditions start to become a little less consistent.
High performance Glass and Tube battens in the sail Centre produce the perfect profile for stability and performance when conditions get tougher and the full X-Ply HD window makes the sail extremely durable.
In the largest sizes 6.7 to 8.2, the full 6 batten profile of a freeride sail will offer speed and performance to win every match race. A combination of Tube and Glass battens and full profile maximize freeride power allowing you to make the most of the lighter days on the water.
It´s a real full power freeride machine.
The all new Hybrid takes windsurfing to a new level.
You can invest in a minimum number of sails to maximize performance in all conditions.
