TEST WINNER!
Gaastra Matrix 6.5 - Boards (UK )
"very clear favourite from this
test...we very strongly recommend this sail for any recreational
freeride sailing and drag racing...great feedback and power while
retaining easy handling, good top end and maneuverability...very
impressed with it's real competitive edge over it's rivals without
sacrificing comfort in any way...faster and more comfortable for
blasting and maneuvering than opposition...excellent acceleration and
top speed...extremely forgiving in heavy chop...allows very easy
maneuvering of the board and goes neutral for easy handling...it is the
first time for several seasons that we tried a no-cam sail that seems
to move the genre forward a notch....best acceleration, always fast.
Impressive"
Gaastra Matrix 7.0 - Boardseeker.com (UK ) "The Matrix is a top performer in stronger winds and really
stands out for its light handling and manoeuvrability...Feels
very light and maneuverable in the hands...Great control at the top end -
can handle a lot of wind...felt like one of the
smaller / more manoeuvrable sails on the water, making
it a lot of fun in transitions...You sail around on the 7.0, waiting
for
bigger and bigger gusts to hit. Then you realise that
people around you are sailing on 5.5s and you're still pretty
comfortable it's that stable!"
