GEAR: NEW WINGS RANGE !!!

Our new wings range is online.

 

Which other sport has experienced such a performance growth in one year? But it has only been the beginning!!!

The range that we present to you today is a real game changer: nothing is comparable anymore because the possible performances and the precision of the disciplines have evolved. You’ll feel like you’ve leaped ten years into the future. It seems unreal, but with 200 prototypes developed, our experience of the Wing, combined with that of other Board sports, we are sure you will experience a huge evolution with this New range.

Five Wings, three of which have been completely re-engineered: the Plus, the Superpower and the Pulse. And two New Wings: the DroĂŻd and the Neutra, to take you even further in aligning your needs with very high performances.

Developments specific to the range

  • The whole range has been revised:– 1kg less!!! To save weight, we have removed some reinforcements that are no longer necessary, too many handles, and the windows are smaller.
  • The tips have been pulled by 10°. You’ll have in hand a Wing with less wingspan and much more compact. This keeps the tips away from the water during the different manoeuvres.
  • The center strut is curved and much stiffer. You gain in comfort with far better posture and the bending is limited.
  • The rapid inflation/deflation system on the leading edge is doubled on the center strut for immediate deflation and storage.
  • Addition of an attachment system for a harness. Whether you use one or not, it is there if you ever want to give it a try.

The Wing Plus

Light and powerful, it is the easy Wing to progress super-fast. In 2020, this kite has allowed many riders to get into this discipline.

This new version remains obviously in the same program, allowing you to start and progress with an even simpler Wing, much more powerful and much lighter. The goal of this new Plus is to make your take-off easier. The sooner you fly, the faster you will progress.

Available in four sizes (3m, 4m, 5m et 7m), and three colors, from 399€.

The Wing Superpower

The Superpower is the perfect Wing for imperfect conditions: irregular, soft or too weak wind. With a Superpower you will have no more excuses not to go in the water.

Its very deep shape and very low aspect ratio delivers a maximum of power. With its 10° closed tips and its stiffer center strut, the comfort and performance are boosted.
A new size has been added to the range with a 7.5m2 that takes the best of both sizes while maintaining maneuverability and delivering a high level of power.

Available in three sizes (6m, 7,5m et 9m) and three colors, from 629€.

The Wing Pulse

The perfect Wing for freeride/freerace. We’ve made a less technical Wing than the 2020 version, which will satisfy the desires of a large number of hardcore Wingers who are looking for a Wing with a lot of hold and comfort in navigation.

Tacking, cranking it full speed, riding upwind, free riding, launching airs, surfing from time to time. It does it all wonderfully. It is the fastest Wing in the range. It outperforms the others in speed and heading, and projects the Wing into a higher performance range.

Available in six sizes (2m, 3m, 4m, 5m, 6m et 7m) and three colors, from 415€.

The Wing DroĂŻd

This DroĂŻd makes its entry in the range for all the freestyle enthusiasts. It is the first Wing in the world dedicated to this program. It is the most compact Wing on the market today. Its rectangular shape provides all the power needed to blast out the tricks.

Its 90° tips have been designed to prevent your Wing from touching the water during your manoeuvres. This Wing is easy to pump and will snag less in the water and that will maximize your success in tricks. Its torque delivers an incredible boost for even more pop.

Note that whatever your level, it remains accessible. It allows the most technical maneuvers but it is not overly technical.

Available in five sizes (3m, 4m, 5m, 6m et 7m) and three colors, from 445€.

The Wing Neutra

The Waveriding program traditionally brings together three aspects: a first phase where you jump, a transition maneuver, a surfing phase, a transition maneuver, and you start over again. Our Neutra is exactly made for these three areas: jump, tricks, surf.

Its architecture is built to keep the canopy super tight boosts its acceleration and you only have to look at it to understand that this Wing is dedicated to high level flights. Its profile is magical in the air. It flies super high and really far.

In hand the Neutra is rigid but soft. You just have to slide it towards your back while surfing to get it out of mind. Its lightness is mindblowing.

In short, we’re getting back to the essence of what made us dream during the last century and to magnify it with a Wing 😉

Available in five sizes (2m, 3m, 4m, 5m and 6m) and three colors, starting at 395€.

Construction

Our wings benefit from the strongest construction on the market with double thickness leading edge center segments, triple Ripstop Teijin T9669 spinnaker, drop reinforcements, thick 0.1mm TPU bladders, Dacron DP175LL skeleton, handles reinforced with straps, and reinforced seams.

This is the opposite of a basic Wing technology of low-cost brands. Our low prices can only be explained by the absence of middlemen. Our Wings are built according to the rules of the art, to last and accept the normal constraints of this new sport.

The big fast inflation/deflation valve on the leading edge is doubled on the slat for immediate deflation and storage.

 

Fewer handles for significant weight loss.
