Gaastra

About Gaastra

Gaastra is a Dutch water sports brand with roots stretching back to 1897 when Klaas Gaastra started making traditional sailing sails. The modern Gaastra brand — under the Boards & More umbrella alongside Duotone and Fanatic — produces windsurf sails, kites, harnesses, and accessories that balance race-proven technology with accessible pricing for club and recreational riders.

Gaastra's GA-Kites sub-brand has established itself in the foiling and light-wind kite market, with models like the Spark and ONE offering excellent glide and upwind performance for wing foiling and speed kiting enthusiasts.

The Gaastra Range

The Gaastra windsurf lineup is headed by the Cosmic — a precision freerace sail — and the Matrix, which is an all-round sail for club racing and recreational windsurfing. The Boost is the entry-level option that provides consistent power for learning to plane. GA-Kites include the Pure for beginner kiters and the MAX for experienced riders pushing light-wind limits.
