MATRIX
FREERIDE
There is no need for cambers, when you’re aiming for pure performance and maximum speed – the Matrix combines a locked-in racing feeling with ease of use.
The outline of the Matrix is based on our slalom sails with a small sail head and refined batten positioning, which leads to powerful yet extremely controllable drive.
Updated sail shaping and a refined luff curve provide maximum control and performance in a massive wind range. A newly introduced one-piece mast sleeve increases lightness and improves stretch characteristics.
The Matrix reaches levels of acceleration and top speed similar to a cambered sail, while it remains incredibly stable and light in your hands, even in strong gusts.
Freerace performance has never been as accessible as with the Matrix – a no-cam sail that combines speed and ease of use to perfection.

SAIL FEATURES
Our goal is to provide every surfer with the perfect sail for his or her demands, which is why we implement the right materials and features for each application area. Depending on the sail model we use the suitable combination of different materials of highest quality to achieve the perfect mix of lightness, durability, power and handling. Quality, advanced technology and innovation means everything to us and each step in the development process is extensively planned to offer unique windsurfing performance.
NO-CAM PERFORMANCE DESIGN
Performance of a race-oriented sail paired with ease of use and smooth batten rotation of a no-cam construction
MODERATE TENSION PROFILE
Moderate tension already leads to the perfect trim, which makes rigging of the Matrix extremely convenient.
CROSS BATTEN CONCEPT
The cross batten provides perfect stability in the profile of the Cosmic and a fixed centre of pressure.
C-FILM
To get the best possible colour for the longest possible time, we have invested heavily in our film over the past season. The result
is outstanding colour that won´t fade no matter what you do to it.season. The result is outstanding colour that won´t fade no matter what you do to it.
X-PLY
The best in the business and the best for us. We have been working closely with dimension to ensure we have the toughest sails on the market including our top of the line 4MIL X-Ply which is lighter and stronger than ever before.
CONTINUOUS LUFF PANELS
Two continuous luff panels ensure a strong and efficient load distribution.
DACRON LUFF PANEL
A Dacron panel next to the mast sleeve allows the Matrix to power up smoothly.
COMPACT WINDOW DESIGN
A more compact sail window provides great visibility, while eliminating unnecessary seams and interferences with other materials.
INTEGRATED BATTEN TECHNOLOGY
All battens above the boom are integrated into the overlapping panels for maximized symmetry and stability.
Double Seam
This heavy duty reinforcement area through the windows on the wave sails gives solid durability at these critical areas.
Clew Area
Our refined clew patch provides the ultimate in strength and durability. It also protects the stitching with the new styling features.
Reinforcement Batten Pocket
Light and durable reinforced area, to help protect against all types of wear and tear!
Rollup Leash
Quick, easy elasticated system that keeps sails roll up nice and tidy. Perfect when storage space is at a premium.

Vario Top
The GA Vario top will not slip. Designed for maximum performance the GA vario top is easy to use and strong enough for the PWA. With set and forget system that means you only have to adjust it once.
Vario Pocket
A simple pocket on the top of the luff sleeve allows to to store away any excess webbing from your Vario Strap. No more flapping Vario Tops in the GA Sails range.
Vario Protection
This little add-on for the top cap on the Vario Tops protects the adjustable webbing from breaking down from wear and tear on rough ground.
