As a Freemove sail, the Torro is the perfect combination of wave, freestyle and freeride characteristics.
The conclusion of the German Surf magazine in their test report about the Torro 2008 summed it up:
“The Gun Sails Torro is directly in the middle of all these characteristics, therefore, it fits perfectly into the Freemove group.” (surf magazine 03/2008)
Early planing, manoeuvrability and outstanding speed resources are the key points of this versatile sail. The reduced boom length makes it extremely easy to handle, it feels well-balanced and offers a significantly high comfort in a wide wind range.
The Torro is equipped with a camless narrow mast sleeve which rotates very softly, the luff tension is reduced and can be easily adjusted thanks to the built in trim rolls.
The size specific batten configuration of 5 battens without tubes provide up to size 5,3 a much better handling. From size 5,7 on, the profile is supported by one tube batten for better flat water performance.
Our advice:
If you need a crossover sail which is more suited to sailing straight and performance, then we would recommend the Nexus. If you tend more towards manoeuvres and freestyle, go for the Torro.
Key facts:
Versatile sail with an extraordinary wide range of use
Optimum mixture of handling and performance
Size specific batten configuration
Best freestyle suitability in our sail range
SDM and RDM compatible

Combine the simple versatility of the Kult with the breathtaking speed and stability of the Koncept. The result is the Koyote, pure freeride.
With all the learning's from the 2010 speed and race programs baked in, such as the reduced head profile and stepped clew, the Koyote is not shy about sprinting past it,s rivals. Make no mistake, this is a seriously fast sail, having broken the 40 knot barrier on a number of occasions.
However there is much more to the Koyote than just going fast. There is the simple pleasure of cruising your local spot, of leaning into your first carve gybe and of "getting air"off a great little ramp. This sails versatility is undeniable.
The power is placed forward and low. Combine this with the short boom length and the feel is light, locked in and stable. The dynamic twist absorbs the gusts and transfers them into lightening acceleration.
Full Xply construction, carbon composite battens and loads of Aramid reinforcing, it is built to take plenty of punishment.
Koyote, pure freeride...

Aloha is a word with many meanings; value, economy, friendliness, function… not to be confused with the Hawaiian word for welcome, good-bye, and love. You will fall for the super light five batten Aloha like it was an old friend, and find amazing value in the performance and function of this highly developed and tested simple RAF. One of Art Szpunar’s better graphic designs curves across the surface, bringing to mind a fanciful ‘M’ for Maui in bold contrasting colors.
The five batten layout evolved from the successful Global wave series and has been especially adapted to low tension settings to make rigging and tuning easier than ever. Added cutout depth is the key to getting the boom head correctly attached with a minimum of effort.

More speed and power than a V8. H2 is the elemental symbol for Hydrogen - used properly, it’s one of the most powerful things on earth. Today, H2 by NeilPryde, used properly - is one of the most powerful things on water. A “giant leap for mankind” sized improvement over our legendary V8 series, the new H2 propels you with a whole new level of efficiency and performance through a highly refined twin cam power plant. The result: beautifully balanced constant sail drive and predictable handling for even greater wind range. The H2 is our fastest freeride sail ever thanks to it’s chemical make-up with behaviour directly descended from the RS:Racing EVOII gene pool, meaning on the water, the H2 will leave everyone else wondering what on earth just went passed them. (Amazing what we can do in the lab).

Get Gas. If your only local is low-wind or the forecast breeze never fills in as promised, take a deep breath of Helium. Helium is essential kit in your quiver because when Mother Nature says no, you can reply with “well, actually - yes”. Guaranteed to bring you all the planing highs of stronger wind conditions, Helium satisfies the need for speed with Big Bang acceleration to get you going faster, faster. It’s the most powerful sail in the freeride collection with a smooth twin-cam profile - stable to the point of being inert - giving you more predictable control over the elements. And when the breeze fills in, Helium responds with confidence so you can handle temperamental gusts and increased wind velocity without losing a breath. Helium - even on light days you can still get the high.

Greed is good. If having it all is still not sufficient for you, then may we suggest the Excess. Excess puts you figuratively at the head of the table with the whole damn menu at your disposal. There’s a flavour here for every taste - flatwater blaster, bump and jumper, freestyle or wave, because on any given day, you can be one or all of these. It’s the heavy duty go-fast sail that feeds you everything with an expansive wind range and whiplash speed and acceleration.And if that’s still not enough, we can’t help you.

The power of one. One mast. One boom. Five sails. Simple. Riders looking for all the range-capability of multiple rigs without the usual compromise of a one-size-fits-all - this is most definitely your sail. Powerful yet balanced, versatile yet simple. Zen also travels light, it’s the ideal companion for global roaming because it demands less equipment, less space, and it won’t run up a tab with room service. Again: one mast, one boom, and 5 sails; 4.9 for high wind and wave sailing through to 7.2 for flatwater and freeride. Have Zen, will travel.

The new Infinity is built with Technora® sailcloth.
Technora® is a para-aramid fiber that weight for weight is 8 times stronger than steel and 3 times stronger than nylon and Dacron. Since Technora® is so light, we are able to save considerable weight in the sail. Furthermore, the low stretch of Technora® means there is less stretch distortion along the leech when a gust hits. This produces a more stable feeling sail.
The Infinity's deep, draft-forward profile provides superb low-end power and when flattened with outhaul, the Infinity handles overpowered sailing like a dream. The Infinity's narrow sleeve won't fill up with water which makes water starting and uphauling easy. The camber inducer system will fit any SDM or RDM mast made within the last 15 years.

The Zephyr takes us back to our windsurfing roots. Back when you could go out in 10 knots or less of wind and have a really fun time. The idea behind the Zephyr is that you don't need anything bigger than a 7.5 in light air. The boom length is long and the profile is very deep and draft forward, which gives the Zephyr the power of an 8.5.
The Zepyhr is light and easy to throw around, and is a blast to sail on the new Stand-Up Paddle (SUP) boards. It also works great on high volume freeride boards too.
The Zephyr has our new seam shaping profile, which produces a camber-like profile without using cams. This gives the Zephyr a very deep and draft forward foil which is what you want for light air sailing. For stronger wind, apply more outhaul to flatten the profile, and the Zephyr becomes a perfect high wind Freeride sail.
The Zephyr is built to last. It contains no monofilm. The lower panels and luff panels are built with our Spectra X Film.The large leech panel is made with a new light weight cloth, which is similar to our Technora® cloth used in our wave sail. The battens are RBS® epoxy. It has a vinyl window for durability and visibility. The Zephyr is built to the same standards as our wave and freeride sails, which means every Zephyr gets rigged and checked before it leaves the factory.
To take the guess work out of rigging, the Zephyr has color coded outhaul and downhaul indicators.

Since Technora® is so light, we are able to save considerable weight in the sail. Furthermore, the low stretch of Technora® means less stretch distortion along the leech when a gust hits, producing a more stable feeling sail.

NATURAL – The most versatile sail of our program has been developed to deliver a high performing and easy to handle all-rounder to anyone who doesn’t want to deal with technical gimmicks and trim. The NATURAL has lost none of the positive abilities of its test-winning predecessors. In fact, the insane handling and the well-balanced performance have advanced significantly.
In the course of laborious tests, Kai Hopf developed a new sail layout that requires much less trimming know-how. This means less time and knowledge is required for the setup, without need for subsequent adjustments!
As a result, the focus for sizes up to 6.6m2 is still on handling and pressure point stability, which explains why only 5 battens are in place.
At 7.0m2 and above, the design focuses on planing power and Kai Hopf once again concentrated on simple rig control and handling characteristics. Both versions offer excellent control, a high level of comfort, and plenty of planing ability - the perfect synthesis of speed, acceleration, and handling.
The NATURAL will make windsurfing much less complicated, and we believe that for many sailors the problem of choosing the right equipment is almost obsolete.

The ultimate NoCam performance sail. This fairly high-tension foil guarantees maximum performance without camber induced support. Compared to the previous model, it has improved planing without compromising control when over-powered. This added versatility combines spontaneous performance delivery with top speed, and offers all the handling and rigging advantages of a NoCam sail.
For you this means enormous thrust AND the ease of use of a NoCam sail for enjoying maneuvers.
The X_TYPE draws its potential from HYPER.LEECH II and TT.TOP II, which ensure a more active twist. In addition, it features a slightly lower profile for more low-down power, and a pressure point further at the front.
This facilitates rig control and steering, and significantly contributes to what is an unusually high stability pressure point for a NoCam sail. Thanks to the PROGRESSIVE.BATTEN.CONFIGURATION, all X_TYPE models feature batten numbers relevant to size and application, with Kai Hopf managing to perfect the 6.0 and 5.4 sizes with just 6 battens. This helps reduce weight and improves handling.
In sails starting at 6.6m2, the rig’s agility reaps a huge benefit from the CUTAWAY.CLEW outhaul, that allows for the use of a shorter boom while minimizing the rotation forces of the X_TYPE. What’s more the X_TYPE can be used with a single 460 mast - one mast fits all!
