Ga Sails IQ – ME 2023

IQ ME
NEWSCHOOL WAVE

The IQ-ME brings neutrality, lightness and smooth power generation to another level, which sparks waveriders in a huge range of conditions.

Adding a membrane construction to our impressively performing IQ meant, we needed to come up with a special design to stand out.

Our development team integrated a continuous panel construction with no interruption of the fibers through shaping seams.

Continuous panels for the foot, centre, luff and leech of the sail prevent interruptions of the Technora fibers for a perfect flow of the load across the sail?s profile, which leads to an inimitably smooth feeling and unmatched lightness of the IQ-ME.

The introduction of the IQ-ME 3.6 and 5.6 allow you to enjoy its unique feeling in a broader range of conditions.

Once you had the IQ-ME in your hands for the first time, you never want to miss its inimitably smooth power generation and neutral on-off characteristics again.

SAIL FEATURES

Our goal is to provide every surfer with the perfect sail for his or her demands, which is why we implement the right materials and features for each application area. Depending on the sail model we use the suitable combination of different materials of highest quality to achieve the perfect mix of lightness, durability, power and handling. Quality, advanced technology and innovation means everything to us and each step in the development process is extensively planned to offer unique windsurfing performance.
TECHNORA FIBRE CONSTRUCTION

Super low stretch Technora Fibres of the highest quality run along the whole path of the load, which provides a smooth feeling.
LIGHT-WEIGHT STRUCTURE

Technora fibres allow processing of thinner film, which leads to a significantly lighter sail.
CONTINUOUS PANEL LAYOUT

4 Panels with continuous fibre flow without interruption through seams.
COMPACT WINDOW DESIGN

A more compact sail window provides great visibility, while eliminating unnecessary seams and interferences with other materials.
HD SAIL WINDOW

X-Ply in the sail window make the sail extremely resistant in hardcore conditions.
IQ QUALITY DESIGN

The IQ-ME features the same outline as the IQ-HD providing the perfect foundation for an outstanding wave sail.
Reinforcement Batten Pocket

Light and durable reinforced area, to help protect against all types of wear and tear!
Integrated Tensioner

Very light and durable for the perfect trim.
Double Seam

This heavy duty reinforcement area through the windows on the wave sails gives solid durability at these critical areas.
Vario Top

The GA Vario top will not slip. Designed for maximum performance the GA vario top is easy to use and strong enough for the PWA. With set and forget system that means you only have to adjust it once.
Vario Pocket

A simple pocket on the top of the luff sleeve allows to to store away any excess webbing from your Vario Strap. No more flapping Vario Tops in the GA Sails range.
Vario Protection

This little add-on for the top cap on the Vario Tops protects the adjustable webbing from breaking down from wear and tear on rough ground.
Radial load tape

Comes on Manic, Manic HD, IQ and Hybrid. In addition to our radial panel layout, this reinforces the sail along the load lines whilst reducing the stretch of the material, allowing the sail to hold its shape longer when you get hit by stronger winds.
Rollup Leash

Quick, easy elasticated system that keeps sails roll up nice and tidy. Perfect when storage space is at a premium.
