HAMMER

As a radical wave sail, the Hammer has to work in many different conditions while giving maximum performance.
Good controllability, a well-balanced performance and immense durability are the key points of the Hammer. These chracteristics make the sail ideal for all wave spots and varying waveriding styles.
With its short boom length, lower weight than its previous model and the relatively flat profile, the Hammer shows great neutrality.
When pulling the sail tight, the power can be controlled smoothly and it stays neutral, it also feels less nervous and forgives mistakes in critical situations.
Key facts:
- 100 % x-ply construction
- Equal compatibility for standard or RDM mast
- Lower profile and a harmonic shape for a perfect on/off

The Nexus is the brand-new performance-oriented crossover sail in the Gun Sails sail family.
Designed for the use in flat and choppy water conditions, it is the ideal sail for beginners and advanced as well as for maneuver-oriented freeriders.
Our designer focused on the all Terrain performance, high end speed and easy handling, which are the key characteristics of the Nexus. It has that bit more power in early planning and high end speed than the Target.
The more maneuver-orientated sizes up to 5.6 have 5 battens and a slightly higher leech, the bigger sizes with 6 battens and a deeper leech have more low end power and acceleration.
The use of a RDM mast can provide better maneuverability.
Its 100% x-ply construction provides the sail with great stability and risky manoeuvres, jumps and overthrows are more easily forgiven.
Key facts:
- Equal compatibility for standard or RDM mast
moderate leech for an optimal combination of handling and speed
- 100 % x-ply construction for hardcore use
- 5/2 and 6/3 batten concept, depending on size/range of use for more handling or freeride power

RIDE
|
|
|
 |
Easy handling, uncomplicated rigging and well balanced
performance makes the Ride the perfect sail for windsurfing
beginners and advanced surfers alike.
The profile is less direct than a pure Freerider, which
gives it a smooth and comfortable feeling, a very forgiving
sail.
Although the Ride's weight was optimised for easy handling and
effortless starting when up-hauling, we have not abandoned
our solid construction philosophy. The Ride is equipped with
all our standard sail features to protect it.
A bonus for beginners and occasionally surfers will be the
attractive price and mast recommendation. The Ride works
very well with the "Advantage" mast line. Of course the
rig's weight and the performance can be optimised by using a
higher carbon content mast.

ESCAPE
|
|
|
 |
The name says it all; Speed has always
been the basis of every escape and our Escape follows this
tradition - with our new 2 cam freerider you just leave all
others behind you.
The design derives from the redevelopment of our race models,
but with the difference that the Escape is easier to handle with
better control.
The full profile offers a lot of power and outstanding
performance. The Escape gets you easily through every hole. This
sail covers a huge wind range with its dynamically twisting top.
The use of very short cams resulted in a quite slim mast sleeve,
which reduces the rotation distance of the cams. You hardly
notice that the Escape is a cambered sail, it rotates smoothly
and is easy to waterstart.
The Escape combines the qualities of a freerider and racer and
the result is a user-friendly speed slalom machine. |
