The Loft's top priority is windsurfing performance. The Loft's philosophy is to maximize wind range while minimizing the number of sail lines presented to the market... function over fashion, efficient simplicity.

The Loft | Evolution ...
Design quality is wind range expansion; optimized performance anywhere, all conditions.
Sails that effectively imitate natural living wings result in wind range expansion.
Nature’s wings have soft and stable profiles with light, flexible tips and easily adapt to flight conditions.
The Loft develops designs with this natural spirit; designs inspired by, designed for, and confirmed in- wind on the water. Loft sails breathe, you can feel it!
The 2007 Lip and O2 sail ranges are firmly based on The Loft’s successful 2006 designs and many significant improvements have been realized.
All 2007 Loftsails are constructed with reduced monofilm content; greater application of Xply/laminate materials.
Lip Wave- 100% laminate construction
O2 Freeride & Freerace- 68% laminate construction
360Free- 46% laminate construction
The Lip Wave, O2 and Blade 07 enjoy the SensiTip head batten system. The SensiTip produces an improved head planform* with slightly softer twist at the tip.
All 2007 Loftsails remain, like their predecessors, especially trim reactive.
All Loftsails include our simple and effective adjustable outhaul system that simply and effectively expands your wind range.

* "There are certain planforms, notably so-called elliptical planforms, which produce less induced drag than the other planforms."
