GA-Sails Hybrid 2026 – Freeride Allround Sailing
The GA-Sails Hybrid 2026 is the most versatile sail in the Gaastra range, capable of adapting to any condition: from wave riding to bump & jumps to fast freeriding . It is the reference sail for those who want a single model capable of covering a wide wind range with control, lightness and progressive power.
The Hybrid stands out for its progressive batten configuration : 4 battens in the small sizes for waves, 5 in the medium sizes for freeriding, and 6 battens in the large sizes to ensure maximum stability and speed in strong winds or flat water. The X-Ply HD window and Dacron luff panel improve resistance and progressive lift, while the lightweight construction with a one-piece mast sleeve keeps the sail balanced and performing.

Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)
What is the difference between the Hybrid and the Matrix 2026?
The Hybrid is more freeride and maneuverable , ideal for bumps and jumps and light surfing. The Matrix , on the other hand, is a 6-batten freerace, stiffer and geared towards pure speed.
Is the Hybrid also suitable for beginners?
Yes, thanks to its soft profile and progressive power, the Hybrid HD is one of the easiest and most intuitive sails for beginners or those looking for a relaxed yet high-performance freeride.
How many battens does the 2026 Hybrid have?
It depends on the size:
- 4 battens: 3.7 – 4.7 m² (wave / bump & jump)
- 5 battens: 5.2 – 6.4 m² (freeride / crossover)
- 6 battens: 6.7 – 8.2 m² (flat water / freerace)
What is the difference between the HD version and the standard version?
HD versions up to 6.4 m² have reinforced X-Ply windows for maximum strength. Standard versions (6.7 – 8.2 m²) use lightweight monofilm to reduce weight and increase responsiveness.
Is it compatible with SDM and RDM trees?
Yes, the Hybrid 2026 can be armed with either RDM or SDM, depending on the size. Smaller guns perform better with RDM, while larger guns with SDM for greater stability and power.
Is this a valid sail for foiling?
In the larger sizes (6.4 – 7.7 m²), the Hybrid also works well for freeride foiling , thanks to its forward pull and stable profile. Perfect for foil school or medium winds.
