Freeride Simplicity, Freerace Power

Oxygen has built a reputation as one of the most reliable and proven freeride sails on the water with legacy shaped by decades of design refinement and superlative magazine tests

As a true freeride design, Oxygen simplifies your time on the water. It rigs easily, accelerates quickly, and delivers impressive speed across the course. With a center of effort focused around the rider and smooth, progressive power delivery, the sail naturally settles into a committed stance once you’re in motion.

For 2026, Oxygen evolves again with higher aspect ratios and shorter booms that improve handling and lighten the feel, while re-scheduled luff curves and batten angle re-orientation lowers power and weight distribution, enhancing balance and responsiveness. A slightly lower foot profile adds more punch, especially when fully powered.

All sizes continue to feature multiple tubed battens, typically reserved for competitive designs, adding forward-oriented drive and rock-solid stability in stronger wind. Revised batten specifications further refine this locked-in character, helping the sail deliver both low-wind grunt and clean, efficient performance as conditions build. 

Oxygen’s naturally wide wind range is expanded by two clew eyelets: the upper eyelet above the cross-batten powers up the sail in lighter airs, while the lower eyelet below the cross batten makes it easy to depower smoothly when the wind kicks in.

Durability is dialed up for 2026 with new 5mil foot panels. As before, all sizes are offered in two construction variants. The standard version combines a 4.0 mil X-Ply laminate central window and 4.0 mil bi-ply upper body panels. The Oxygen 2026 HD version is constructed with a 4 mil X-Ply laminate central window and 2 mil quad-axial upper panels for added resilience. The Oxygen’s head panels use dual-layer Dacron to improve roll-up ease and enhance long-term durability. A 5.0 mil Kevlar-reinforced laminate clew panel now extends from the clew up to the batten above the boom, prolonging sail life both on the water and in the sailbag.

The new 2026 graphic embodies functional minimalism, reducing unnecessary marker cloth and scrim to lower the sail’s weight center while improving long-term durability. 

Finished in this purpose-driven design, Oxygen remains the benchmark for freeriders who want simplicity, speed, and total confidence in all conditions.
