Furthermore we invite you to participate and share your own experiences. Join Jason Diffin in our interactive gear discussion on Facebook. Links can be found on each Feature Closeup. Let the exchange begin.
BATTEN TENSIONER
STRETCH CONTROL
TACK FAIRING
SCS™
STRETCH CONTROL SYSTEM
ON ALL GOYA SAILS
The system was created by designer Jason Diffin, and has been time tested and proven to massively increase the range of any sail size by locking the draft of the sail in place, and maintaining the smooth flexible feeling of the sail as the wind strength changes.
RTF™
RADIAL TACK FAIRING
ON ALL GOYA SAILS
The integrated tack fairing on all Goya sails makes it very convenient to rig your sail, while it supplies excellent cushion and abrasion protection. The array shaped grooves make it easy to fold the fairing up while preparing your downhaul.
WSL™
WHITE SCRIM LOOK
ON ALL PRO SAILS
You first saw the White Goya Sails a long time ago in the winter, and the demand to keep much of that White Scrim look and translate it into the production sails was so strong back then that we simply had to make a promise and keep it.
EFW™
EVERCLEAR FLEX WINDOW
ON GURU AND STORM
This window can be found on the Guru as well as on it’s smaller sibling, the Strom. The window can always be polished back to it’s initial beauty, no matter how old your sail is and much you’ve put it through.
RHO™
reduced head outline
ON ALL GOYA SAILS
The Reduced Head works as if you were adding 5mm of tail rocker to your board, making it easier to go around tight corners. Further it reduces head “wag” and makes the sail much quieter in the hands, which increases your comfort and control, meaning more time for you on the water. LINE INDICATES STANDARD HEAD OUTLINE
Scrim
LIGHT WEIGHT FILM
ON ALL PRO SAILS
All PRO sails have about 70% scrim in their main panels. Scrim is a third lighter than X-Ply. Scrim strops tears from traveling. It is very soft and supple and gives sails an organic, smooth and alive feeling. With scrim the energy transfer from wind to membrane to stretch control to boom and into the rider’s hands is instant and electrifying.
