Wing

31 october 2022 0

François, GONG ambassador, tried the SuperPower 6m in ideal conditions, that means an offshore wind between 0 and 15 knots ?

“This wing is beautiful in black, it’s actually lighter than last year’s model, and is also equipped with struts on the leading edge’s slides.

On the water, no surprises, it’s very stable and very rigid like the whole 2023 range.

Dynamic in the hands, in the transitions, and an exemplary neutrality in the tacks… I would even say that the wing turns very strongly on itself during this transition. So you can really shorten the turn if you want.

Upwind is really good.

I actually passed the choppy waves with a disconcerting ease. The wind was again off and very very asthmatic… like 0 knots at 15 knots max and 8 knots that could last a long time. The mix between my L-H Fluid and this SuperPower is very good in this type of conditions, I had a super glide. In the few laughs, I accelerate without any problem of stability, quite the contrary. By the way, I met a motivated young man, 52 kg, equipped with Fluid M-T. We competed with each other… In choppy waves, he was holding me but every time there was a puff, I passed by him like a rocket despite my 85 kg ?. Then, I had him test the gear, I know he will order a high ratio front wing, because he clearly loved the sensations. 22 knots, in this kind of conditions, it’s great! The SuperPower fulfills its role of wing for light wind, lake conditions… Moreover, the windows are perfectly placed.”
