2010 Loft Sails Oxygen 'O2' FreerideThe Loft O2 enjoys a decade of superlative magazine test results. The feeling is what sets The Lofts O2 apart from the rest. Shaped for power, the O2 batten structure works harmonically with its forward oriented shape orientation to produce responsive low-end planing power. O2s are sensitive to pumping… alive and breathing. Trim the O2 for the upper end, the result is speed rivaling specialized cam designs. Trim the O2 soft, and your light-wind windsurfing is transformed to 4X4. The O2 is low-end grunt to initiate planning early and lean upper-end ease in a light, friendly package... expand windsurfing multi-dimensionally! O2 sizes up to 7.4 : 6 battens (4 tubed) and the Sensitip head batten system. O2 sizes 8.4 and 9.6 : 7 battens (5 tubed) and the Sensitip head batten system.

It is the only sail in this test group with a reduced diameter mast (RDM) recommended. On the water: The very first thing we note on this sail is the sweetness on the water compared with its concurrents. We feel then his maneuverability and finesse and realize this sail can go very fast. Monty created a sail that does not need to be pushed hard to work well- a very positive point that gives this sail easy accessibility. In strong winds and choppy water it is very easy to control, and is clearly easier and more "tolerent" than the average. When overpowered, we can open the back hand to reduce the power, and we keep good speed potential. The sail softness helps a lot to to keep the sail workable- even in hard conditions, or over powered. The O2 enjoys a fine feeling with maneuverability- assisted by its RDM mast."
