GA Sails Manic-HD 2026

The 2026 Manic-HD continues to set the standard as the most versatile hardcore wave sail. Whether you’re charging in down-the-line perfection, powering through onshore ramps, or pushing radical maneuvers, the Manic delivers unmatched control and responsiveness.

For 2026 the innovative Continuous Radial Panel Layout brings a new dimension to the Manic-HD. By aligning sail panels along natural load paths, this innovation distributes forces more efficiently than ever before, creating a smoother, more balanced feel and ensuring long-lasting profile stability. The legendary handling of the Manic-HD now feels even more connected, with direct feedback and seamless power delivery in all conditions.

A light and reactive four batten construction delivers power in all conditions and is additionally stabilized with Carbon Radial Tapes, which spread from the clew and maintain a stable profile in all conditions. The HD version of the Manic features X-PLY in the sail window, which boosts durability even further.

The Manic-HD’s universal wave DNA makes it the ultimate companion no matter where the wind takes you. In down-the-line conditions it feels light, precise, and direct, while onshore it provides the drive and stability you need to launch big jumps and pass the shorebreak. Combined with the Continuous Radial Panel Layout, the 2026 Manic offers an even more intuitive connection between rider, rig, and wave.

Key Features:

• CONTINUOUS RADIAL PANEL LAYOUT We've revolutionized the panel layout by creating continuous panels that run radially from the sail's center. By eliminating cross seams, which are common in traditional horizontal and vertical panel setups, the whole panel works as a unit with a better feedback to the loads.

• 2-PLY CONTINUOUS LUFF PANELS The Manic-HD sail incorporates two continuous luff panels made from our exclusive 2-Ply material. This unique construction not only enhances the sail's strength but also ensures more efficient load distribution, resulting in a sail that reacts directly to your commands.

• 4-BATTEN SETUP Across all sizes, the Manic-HD sail features a 4-batten skeleton, providing consistent performance and handling characteristics as well as providing the perfect mix of stability and lightness.

• LIGHTWEIGHT CONSTRUCTION The Manic-HD's construction is optimized for lightness without compromising on strength. The top half of the sails is constructed using exclusive 2-Ply material, with 1.75 mil in the center and 2.5 mil at the leech. This ensures both durability and reduced weight.

• CARBON RADIAL TAPES The sail's profile is stabilized by carbon radial tapes spreading from the clew, ensuring that the sail maintains its shape and responsiveness even in demanding conditions.

• ENHANCED STABILITY The sail's outline features enhanced stability and reduced backhand pressure. These improvements allow for a more comfortable and controlled riding experience, especially in challenging conditions.

• HD SAIL WINDOW An X-Ply sail window offers maximum robustness and longevity in extreme conditions as well as radical sessions and wipe-outs.

• ONE-PIECE MAST SLEEVE The one-piece mast sleeve makes the Manic-HD lighter and improves stretch characteristics.
