Freeride 008

Unlimited Progress
The 2008Gaastra Plasma redefines low-end power. Brought to you by Dan Kaseler, the inventor of modern short luff sails, the Plasma features a low aspect outline that facilitates liquid, easily handled power. Held solid by a pair of Cams, the Plasma boasts the most shape of any sail in the Gaastra range making it ideal for attaining maximum stoke in light wind conditions.

The Plasma can handle a wider range of conditions than other sails and still remains supple in the hands. So, if it’s a deceptively small sail with inconceivable power you crave, this sail will replace your entire light wind quiver. The Plasma is the pinnacle of low-end windsurfing technology.

The Plasma is available in two constructions. The first is our standard layup, consisting of a carefully designed balance of monofilm and Xply, coupled with our industry leading standard features.

Have you ever sailed a sail that is virtually silent as it bends and breathes? Borrowed from Dimension Polyant lamination and Teijin fiber technology, Technora outperforms nearly every other modern sailcloth, especially when subjected to repeated abuse. When combined with our exactingly designed Plasma, the result will re-write your notions about light wind windsurfing.

Rig one up and be the envy of the beach as you plane on a whisper. Coming in three exactingly chosen sizes (6.7, 7.6, and 8.3), there’s a Gaastra Plasma designed for you.
