GA Cross LW 2026: Your ally in light winds
The GA Wings Cross LW 2026 is designed for lightwind foiling , with early launch, smooth handling, and extremely efficient low-end performance. Whether you're foiling in marginal breeze, cruising relaxed, or surfing waves in light winds, the Cross LW makes lightwind days a real pleasure.
New features for 2026 and water behavior
The 2026 update focuses on optimizing flight characteristics: the leading edge now has fewer segments, resulting in a lighter weight and cleaner aerodynamic arc. This improves pumping efficiency, drift when surfing, and gives the Cross LW an even more balanced and predictable feel in flight.
The classic three-strut structure maintains the compact span, progressive and easily manageable power, and precise control that the Cross LW series is famous for. The result is a stable wing that's easy to feel in the hands and capable of early foil launches without requiring extreme technique.
Who is the Cross LW 2026 designed for?
The Cross LW 2026 is ideal for intermediate and advanced wingfoilers looking to maximize their lightwind outings. It's perfect for those looking for a lightwind wing dedicated to freeriding, cruising, and wave riding with plenty of lift at low speed and consistently comfortable handling.
Main technical features
BAT Panel Layout
The proven BAT Panel Layout uses segmented panels on the front to perfectly define the profile, with perpendicular panels on the back to minimize stretch. This results in optimal load distribution, maximum dimensional stability over time, great durability, and an excellent balance between lightness and strength.
ForceTec Dacron
The innovative ForceTec Dacron maximizes rigidity, lightness, and durability of the leading edge and strut structure. The four center panels and the head panel are made with a double-layer construction to reinforce the areas that bear the greatest loads while sailing.
VoltNova Spinnaker and VoltNova+ Trailing Edge
The canopy uses a Teijin VoltNova triple ripstop spinnaker in the front and center sections, combining lightness, strength, and stretch control for evenly distributed load over time. The trailing edge uses a significantly stiffer and more robust VoltNova+ double ripstop, ideal for stabilizing the trailing edge, increasing longevity, and keeping the wing responsive and lightweight.
Three-strut structure
The three-strut construction allows for a reduced wingspan without sacrificing profile stability. This translates into power at low rpm, control even when the wind picks up, and highly effective pumping characteristics for early takeoffs.
Pistol Grip Carbon Boom
The Cross LW 2026 features the new detachable carbon boom pistol grip, which combines the rigidity and sensitivity of a one-piece boom with the carrying convenience of a two-piece system. The front pistol grip offers control, lightness, and an intuitive grip in all conditions and disciplines, simplifying maneuvers and power micro-adjustments.
Balanced Tension Profile and separate air chambers
The perfectly balanced tension between the leading edge and trailing edge ensures a stable, responsive profile and easier handling at any speed. The leading edge and strut are inflated via two separate SUP valves, allowing you to customize the pressures and therefore the overall rigidity of the structure.
Kevlar Protection and 360 View Windows
Kevlar patches protect the seams on the leading edge and struts, maximizing strength and durability even under heavy use and contact with the board or foil. The 360 View Windows, one on each side with an extended outline, offer 360-degree visibility, while the special window material reduces creasing and keeps the view clear.
