High speed freeriding, Slalom racing, Light air cruising
Brainchild of the fastest race sail on the market, the 2008 GTX reaches a whole new level of freerace performance.
An invigorated fusion of the Vapor and the Swift; the GTX features easy handling and explosive top end speed. New luff curves and tri-radial panel layouts amplify performance in every aspect of the rig. The GTX features an exactingly crafted medium-wide luff sock for aerodynamic perfection without the hassles of a full widesock design. New for 2008, the GTX features a drop-tack design, with an adjustable tack strap. Be the only one planning on a light day, or the first across the finish line riding the technologically superior GTX.
