VAPOR '12 Gaastra Windsurfing

Meet the most technologically advanced racing sail in the world; The Vapor has been developed around the clock to provide our World Cup Racing team with the best tools available to win races. The latest materials are combined to make this pure- bred race machine as light and strong as possible.

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

Currently the Vapors are still being developed everyday in order to meet the PWA registration deadline. Our test team are relentless and will not stop until the design of this sail is perfect and ready to deliver world champion results.
The new advancements are coming from a combination of 2 important details:
The Gaastra mast has been designed to deliver quicker acceleration and maintain top end control and stability for overpowered situations.

A new and specially developed material has also been discovered to considerably reduce the weight and better improve the way the sail is breathing in the wind. The shape in the sail has changed slightly and is now lower and further forward. The twist and the tension in the sail are more flexible with the new mast and allow the rider to hang on longer without getting lifted in the gusts. The larger slalom sails have a higher aspect ratio for more light wind performance while the smaller sails get a slightly slimmer luff sleeve for easier handling. The sail foot has been redesigned for better flow and an easier profile to close the gap.
