New standards of performance and reliability in 2026!

Starting from an incredibly successful range of wings, with world champion titles in Surf-Freestyle and Freefly-Slalom, validated daily by thousands of users around the world, has allowed us to push particularly far in the development of our 2026 models.

Shape elements, seams, equipment, materials... The Plus, Droid, and Neutra evolve in every respect, driven by our tireless ambition to offer you the best wings in the world.

The result is spectacular, and we wish you as much pleasure using them as we had creating them!

Discover the 2026 range below👇

The 2026 lineup is made up of our 4 flagship models: the Plus, the Droid, the Neutra, and the Pulse Race*. Beyond the many technical improvements, there’s also an expanded color choice (7 colors in the Perf Series, 4 in the Team Series).

The Key Differences Between 2025 and 2026

Patrice Guénolé, first user and actor in their development, talks about the evolution of the range:

“If we want to keep it general, what we’re aiming for in 2026 is absolute direct feel in sensations.

We want something extremely clear in the hands: crisp, precise.
We absolutely want to avoid oversheeting.
We don’t want a soft, imprecise wing you fall asleep with.
We want very sharp wings, perfectly aligned with their program.

Concretely, between 2025 and 2026, it’s a crescendo in precision. We’ve made many deep and significant changes. Even in the design: it might seem subtle, but it’s huge. Looking back two years is scary—the progress is phenomenal.

To give an idea: the 2026 Perf Series wings in Dacron construction offer a riding comfort close to that of the 2025 Aramid wings! The evolution is stunning. Everything is more precise and efficient. And the performance leap is global. An Aramid wing flies higher, with insane hang time and trick control that boosts your landings. Low-end power is also improved, with more recentered force and increasingly intuitive handling.“

Redesigned Outlines in 2026

Generally, the leading edge is more curved and slightly set back near the tips, which are shorter and squarer. Subtle on the Plus, more marked on the Droid, and even more on the Neutra (wingspan reduced by 23 cm, chord extended by 7 cm on a 4.5m²).

These changes reduce effective wingspan and recenter surface toward the wing’s core. The profile remains perfectly balanced, constant, and readable in hand—resulting in clear, predictable pull.

The character of the Droid is reinforced, it is a concentrate of energy which reacts with precision, while the Neutra gains in homogeneity and comfort, it is more torquey while retaining its DNA of a soft and fluid wing.

Other important evolutions across the 2026 range

Dihedral: Exaggerated, very pronounced dihedrals, in our view, harm performance. On the 2026 wings, it has therefore been reduced to the bare minimum: just enough to draw a line between the profile’s draft and the tips, ensuring that the shape remains perfectly in place thanks to fabric tension.
Tip twist: The baseline twist has been eliminated on the 2026 wings. The draft stays locked in, with the traction point constant and free of unwanted drift. At the tips, only a dynamic twist remains, linked to wind pressure. It is limited, perfectly controlled, and does not cause any distortion of the profile. As a result, handling is clear, predictable, and firm in the hands.
Leading Edge Segmentation: The segmentation of the leading edge has been optimized on the 2026 wings. The central section is intentionally very short, locking the wing’s core and ensuring a perfectly stable traction zone. Along the rest of the leading edge, segments are regular and consistent, guaranteeing clear, predictable behavior without unwanted deformation. Near the tips, segmentation becomes tighter, particularly on the Droid with 4 sections closing the tip. This finer, more divided curve makes the wingtip both smoother and stiffer, allowing any potential deformation to remain progressive and controlled.

Equipment: GFS Modular Handle System

All 2026 Perf Series models (without “boom only” center strut) can be fitted with:

Textile handles (soft or semi-rigid).
Rigid carbon handles (redesigned grip in 2026).
Carbon boom for ultimate precision (redesigned grip in 2026).

All 2026 wings are also compatible with:

Full carbon boom (with carbon elbows).
Two-piece removable boom for easier transport/storage.
Paddle holders for downwind deflate by paddle.

Our technology choices in 2026: Dacron, Aramid, Aramid X or Aramid CZ.

Our Perf Series wings are built in Dacron, a material that has been proven for decades. It’s strong, reliable, super easy to repair, because Dacron can be found everywhere in the world. If you get a stab hit or a tear, any sailmaker will be able to fix it. It’s the base, the standard material, robust and accessible.

The Aramid wings are the next level up. The leading edge and strut are in UPE Aramid, which is about twice as light as Dacron while being much stiffer. However, we keep the same canopy as the Perf, in triple ripstop. So we gain weight reduction and responsiveness while keeping the tolerance and simplicity of the classic triple ripstop canopy.

The Aramid X, here we move into a different category: the canopy is in Code 95, an extremely rigid, strong, and almost inextensible woven fabric. It’s still a fabric, but one that hardly deforms, if at all. The result is much more direct, much more lively, much more precise, and more durable over time.

Finally, the Aramid CZ, this is the ultimate level. Here, we are no longer dealing with a simple woven fabric, but with a laminate (the famous Code Zero). It’s absolutely inflexible, inextensible, ultra stiff. The shape doesn’t move, the profile is locked at 100%. It’s a material designed for pure performance, especially in Race and Slalom, where every knot of wind must be converted into speed and upwind angle.

In summary:

Dacron: simple, solid, easy, accessible.
Aramid: lighter, stiffer, but with the tolerance of classic canopy fabric.
Aramid X: canopy in Code 95, maximum rigidity and precision in a woven fabric.
Aramid CZ: laminate, absolute rigidity, race performance.

It’s a technological step-up that also corresponds to a rise in the demands and performance of users.

Renewal of the Pulse Race at the end of the sporting season!

The Pulse Race follows its own development rhythm, closely tied to the Wingfoil Racing World Tour season, where the evolutions of this revolutionary double-skin wing are validated by our team riders. Currently in the leading group before an exciting season finale with some fantastic events on the calendar, Francesco Capuzzo and Bastien Escofet are working behind the scenes with our development team on the 2026 model, the one they will be lining up with in 2026! The workload has once again been huge this year, and we are eager to unveil the new Pulse Race at the conclusion of our riders’ sporting season.
