Balanced Power
Anyone that has experienced windsurfing either quits because it was too frustrating and difficult, or becomes completely hooked by it. The ones hooked in windsurfing can pinpoint the reason to one event: the moment that board rushed over the water, the feeling of the power of the sail balanced and all completed in an relatively effortless action. Balanced Power in technical terms is achieved when the center of effort of the sail is positioned over the centerline of the board, directly over the center of lateral resistance of the board. (...and in non-technical terms, you feel you can balance the pull of the sail so there is no fight or effort in controlling it).

It has a forgiving character that delivers instant on/off response offering great control. The Low aspect ratio is perfect for wave, freestyle and freeride sailors. The window shape is optimized for viewing the wave so you can see exactly where you need to go. A triangulated load bearing panel gives an unmatched strength to weight ratio.

The Poison will perform in just about any condition. It is great for the big guys wave sail. Power to move, stability in the high winds. More backhanded power as compared to Manic and IQ. Makes for a great bump and jump sail for lakes, rivers or other places when the wind is less consistent.

The Poison remains our powerhouse people mover. Get up and go with built in power generated from enhanced seem shaping combined with our twinstripe X ply luff panel. A longer boom length and a new outline put the Poison in a league of it`s own. A perfect combination of Power and control that keeps you moving in light and gusty winds.

Dan Kaseler:
For this years Poison we changed the outline up to get a more efficient flow through the wind. The seam shaping has increased a taste to deliver more power that is controlled with the new outline. The luff curve has been adjusted to provide more rig tension and a better twist flow.


We have used this new sail extensively and are blown away with the performance. By far the best Freeride sail we have ever used!

Fully redesigned for 2012,  with Cross Batten in the boom area. Instant acceleration, more power, more control and incredible upwind performance: the new Matrix impresses all with a huge wind range. The result is a state-of-the-art freeride design with a lower center of gravity and more compact outline for awesome jumping and gybing. No matter what conditions you sail, the new 2012 Matrix will get amaze you!

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

The new Matrix is equipped with six battens and NO cambers. The new Radial Panel Layout optimally distributes the forces on the sail, it also allows a better profile alignment, more harmonious twist behavior while making the sail more robust. The foot area is free of folds and the bottom window of the sail was again reinforced. The three composite tube battens ensure that the power zone remains stable even in hammering gusts.

With the new shorter boom and shorter mast, the Matrix is a modern performance-oriented sail. The new changes make it quite different to the Cross. The new outline in the foot area makes it easier to pull the sail on the board. It is easy to rig, jibes like a wave sail, but once you hook in it develops turbo speed, like a real slalom sail. Whether you have a Freeride, Freerace or a thoroughbred Slalom board under your feet, the Matrix will deliver performance. The pressure point is further back allowing for effortless drive upwind and planing without pumping, even with larger and heavier boards. It is designed to work perfectly with 75 and 55 percent carbon masts.
