FOIL IS IN THE AIR Foil surfing is the perfect addition to classic windsurfing when it comes to early planing and speed in light winds. With foiling you extend your time on the water, days with little wind will leave you cold now. Enjoy the great riding experience with guaranteed addiction. If your board hovers almost silently over the water, you reach high speeds with little sail pressure and you sail at angles you never had before, then the fascination of «flying» will grab you too. With the Raise and the Bow Fly we now offer two specific foil sails, which are designed for the low wind...

THE SEAL MEMBRANE The latest innovations from the GUNSAILS R&D department, all united in a 4 batten Compact Wave sail. The exclusive construction of this wave sail is based on a 0.7 mil sandwich film with strategically placed Technora fibres between. The orientation of these fibres is designed to absorb the extreme forces generated by waveriding. Each individual Technora fibre is aligned according to a calculated design pattern and directs the forces acting on the sail to exactly the right position. This construction allows unique reactivity and a direct sail feel of the Seal Membrane. The...

SAIL DESIGN A GUNSAILS windsurf sail is a combination of selected and high-quality materials, combined with years of experience and construction know-how. Sail designer Renato Morlotti is responsible for the performance and quality of the sails. In his working environment he has optimised everything down to the smallest detail. Every piece of material in the sail is continuously improved in terms of durability and weight savings. Only a closer look reveals the quality, good manufacturing and durability of a GUNSAILS sail.

SAIL TECH X-PLY The all-time classic of the reinforced laminates. X-Ply does withstand higher punctual stress. In case of a cut, the threads avoid further damage. X-Ply is light, stable and has a good transparency. Therefore, it is used in the window area of the Wave- and Cross Over Sails. SQUARE-PLY The Square-Ply is based on the same concept as X-Ply material. However, the threads are aligned in a 90 degree angle and the material offers a higher overall thread density. That allows us to reduce the thickness of the included monofilm to save weight, but ensure durability at the same time....

SMART CLEW CONSTRUCTION The Smart Clew Construction is based on the specific and precise alignment of different materials. The result is an extremely durable clew area without additional weight. The Clew Construction setup, which varies depending on the type of sail, defines the direction in which tension and force are transmitted from the clew to the sail, thus supporting the stability of the profile. OFFSET CLEW The wave sails are equipped with two clew eyelets which are set asymmetrically for individual tuning. > Upper eyelet for more power > Lower eyelet for more control REDUCED BOOM...

F.R.E.D. Fast Rigging Easy Doing F.R.E.D. will help you to find the optimal downhaul trim for your sail. The mark is found in the upper sail window. Simply trim the downhaul rope until the loose leech reaches the FRED mark. SAIL FEATURES TOP GUARD The large reinforcement at the sail top avoids abrasion and wearing out whilst rigging. VARIO TOP With some sails a Vario Top is used, which also allows the use of a longer mast. An additional loop is sewn on top of each sail. It serves to hook in the sail if you want to pull out the mast. MINI BATTENS Lightweight mini battens take control of the...
