UPE ARAMID Technology

The Droïd UPE Aramid benefits from the most advanced technology to excel in freestyle:

The UPE Aramid, a true gem of textile technology developed by experts in nautical textiles.

How does it work?

  • The PET film ensures the connection between the elements and waterproofing.
  • The Aramid fibers are arranged at a chosen angle to block the fabric’s extension under load without unnecessarily adding weight to the structure.
  • The thin layer of UPE, lighter than on UPE 200, ensures strength. This tight weave of Dyneema fibers is a veritable shield.

These three laminated layers create a fabric that is both extremely lightweight, highly rigid, and very resistant to tearing.

Our exclusive assembly, tested in the laboratory and by the Pro Team, ensures unparalleled longevity for UPE Aramid.

The whole system is so rigid that 8 PSI gives you the rigidity of a UPE 200 at 15 PSI. It’s truly deformation-resistant.

Less pressure = less stress in the wing = less time spent pumping.

More durability, performance, and lightness: the holy grail.

Buying guide

For whom?

The Neutra UPE Aramid is designed for riders seeking pure gliding sensations and a wing that “disappears” during surfing and freefly.

It is a wing for those looking for high performance with comfort, not overwhelming the rider even in strong winds. So, the Neutra doesn’t require a gladiator physique ? It’s cool.

No specific skill level is required; it’s an easy and versatile wing. Its lightness greatly facilitates various situations.

For what?

An ultra-light wing, highly maneuverable, and perfect for freefly.

Plenty of reasons to choose the Neutra UPE Aramid:

  • Minimalistic sessions, without a harness, and even without straps.
  • Waveriding sessions with a wing that slips off your mind.
  • Comfortable navigation with an ultra-light wing.
  • The pinnacle of performance in complete smoothness.

What size?

Which material ?

The choice of the type of material for the inflatable structure of your wing primarily depends on your program and ambitions.

If you prefer sailing leisurely in freeride during occasional outings, a Dacron inflatable structure will suffice. However, if you enjoy sporty, agile navigation and tricks, don’t hesitate! The UPE Aramid will provide undeniable advantages. The performance gap is significant. It goes faster, higher, and turns incredibly well.

Understanding our range of wings:

Plus: the wing for progression.
SuperPower: the powerful wing.
Pulse: the wing for racing and long distance.
Droïd: the wing for surf / freestyle.
Neutra: the perfect wing for waves and free-flying.

Best quiver choices?

To complete your freefly/waveriding quiver, we recommend:

A wing board: Lethal FSP Pro, Lemon FSP Pro, or Mint FSP Pro
A front wing: Curve*, Fluid*, or Ypra Surf, or S depending on your style and preferences.
A stabilizer: Curve or Fluid H, depending on your front wing.
Mast: HM 85CM or 92CM for very choppy spots.

*Choose between Regular or H version.

With or without a harness?

The Neutra is designed to prioritize harness-free sessions. Its comfort and progressive traction are such that your sessions can be long, even without a harness. If you choose to use a harness, it is easy to move your harness lines up or down the boom to find your sweet spot.


Equipments

The Neutra UPE Aramid is equipped with the most prestigious components in wingfoil:

  • The Boom made of prepreg carbon wrapped around the boom in 4 directions to maximize its rigidity, it is the most high-end technology on the market! Its oval shape offers ideal ergonomics to be able to sail with this powerful wing without paralyzing the forearms.

  • A downwind handle on the leading edge which allows the shocked wing to be manipulated on land as well as on the water. The handle has been reinforced to provide more control during freefly maneuvers.
  • The inflation/deflation valves are directly connected to the hose of the pump (pump not supplied). No more incompatible or lost nozzle!
  • The neoprene valve caps have been pierced to facilitate air evacuation when folding, even closed! And with the valve caps in the neoprene, it prevents damage to the canopy.
  • The micro-slats at the trailing edge are ultra light for considerable weight savings.
  • The wing is always supplied with its repair kit.
  • To comply with sailing regulations, we have integrated a laminated label on the underside, close to the tip, to write down the owner’s personal information: name, first name, telephone number and address.
  • The Neutra UPE Aramid is supplied with a high-end bag whose dimensions will allow you to store the wing easily and without dismantling either the boom or the LDS slats by rolling the wing like a windsurf sail. It’s really practical and space-saving since it’s smaller than your board. The bag is equipped with 2 ventilation hatches that allow your wing to dry even in its bag.
  • A small strap on each wingtip allows you to secure your GoPro leash to a Flymount: everything is planned for!

Warning

Vous devez lire entièrement le mode d’emploi détaillé avant la première utilisation de votre wing.

Soyez sûr de l’avoir parfaitement compris. Les ailes de wing peuvent être dangereuses selon leur taille et la force du vent. Il faut vérifier la plage de vent de votre wing et l’adapter à vos capacités réelles.

Pour les premières sessions, n’utilisez jamais votre nouvelle wing dans sa plage haute de vent. Utilisez votre wing dans un environnement sécurisé. Prenez le temps nécessaire pour apprendre le maniement de l’équipement dans des conditions optimum de sécurité. Ne sous-estimez jamais la force de traction de votre wing. Même une wing pour débutants peut développer une force de traction de plusieurs centaines de kilogrammes en fonction de sa taille et de la force du vent. Ne surestimez pas vos capacités. Une mauvaise utilisation peut provoquer des blessures graves ou causer la mort du pratiquant ou de tiers. N’utilisez pas votre wing en mer par vent de terre. Utilisez votre wing équipée d’un leash. Soyez vigilant pour éviter toute collision. Soyez extrêmement prudent si vous naviguez avec votre wing et une planche équipée d’un foil. Le fabricant décline tout responsabilité en cas de dégâts ou de dommages causés par l’usage inapproprié de la wing ou par imprudence.

Comment gonfler sa wing ?

Gonfler sa wing encore roulée peut engendrer des déplacements et des vrillages de vessie qui auront pour effet de déformer la wing gonflée ou de provoquer des hernies. Il est donc primordial de déplier intégralement sa wing avant de la gonfler par la valve de gonflage sur le bord d’attaque.

Comment faire sécher sa wing ?

A moins de terminer votre session par un long bord au soleil et d’accoster sur un ponton, il est plutôt rare de sortir de l’eau avec une wing complètement sèche. ? Sachez qu’il n’y a pas besoin de faire sécher sa wing si elle est amenée à être utilisée régulièrement en eau salée, le sel protégeant les matériaux de la moisissure.

Si néanmoins pour des raisons de transport ou de stockage vous voulez les faire sécher, il faut absolument éviter de suspendre la wing dégonflée par la poignée du bord d’attaque. C’est pourtant bien pratique mais c’est le meilleur moyen d’obtenir une belle hernie sur la latte centrale à la jonction avec le bord d’attaque suite à l’affaissement de la vessie à l’intérieur. Les vessies sont mobiles dans les lattes et le bord d’attaque. Donc si vous la suspendez pour la sécher dégonflée, la vessie peut glisser, voir se froisser, dans le fourreau de latte.

Donc dans l’idéal, on fait sécher sa wing gonflée et à l’ombre, et au pire à plat ou au moins avec juste le boudin central gonflé.

Généralités sur la wing

La wing est une aile à structure gonflable directement dans les mains du rider. Des poignées permettent de contrôler son vol et la puissance délivrée.

L’atout numéro 1 de la wing c’est l’absence de pied de mat. On peut ainsi passer d’une traction horizontale de type planche à voile à une traction verticale de type kite. On combine à loisir le meilleur des deux mondes, dans une liberté totale.

Bien moins compliquée qu’une aile de kite et bien moins lourde qu’une voile de windsurf, la wing vous allège au zénith et accélère face à vous.

La wing associe les avantages et les moves de ces deux sports, et elle en donne encore plus avec toutes les possibilités liées à la neutralité en surf, et aux rotations sous la wing et autres désaxages… le potentiel de moves est sans fin.

Moteur idéal d’un engin à foil, elle est bien plus rassurante qu’un kite et bien plus maniable qu’une voile de windsurf.

La wing est de loin le support le plus simple pour apprendre à faire du foil, loin devant tous les autres sports. Une super entrée en matière pour foiler ensuite dans les autres sports.

C’est l’engin parfait :

  • Compact, il tient dans une voiture et passe easy en avion.
  • Léger, on peut balader son quiver sans galérer.
  • On se met à l’eau n’importe où, sauf dans le shorebreak.
  • Très peu sensible à la qualité du vent. S’il tombe on rentre tranquille.
  • Un potentiel en surf et en tricks quasi infini sans pied de mat.
  • Des hautes performances pour un minimum de contraintes.
  • L’attrait de la nouveauté, ça fait du bien de changer parfois.
  • Aucun danger majeur.
  • Du smile, du smile et du smile.

Avec sa glisse, on n’est pas obligé de surtoiler pour s’éclater. Dans les rafales, sa structure encaisse naturellement les excès de puissance. Les pros pourront mettre un harnais pour toiler plus et doper les performances. Mais les amateurs trouveront aussi un vrai soulagement dans le harnais. Contrairement aux idées reçues, c’est la wing qui porte vos bras, pas l’inverse. Mais après deux heures sans harnais, il faut avouer que la fatigue est là. Libre à chacun de s’accrocher à mains nues ou de se soulager.

Idéale avec un foil, elle demande plus d’air qu’un kite qui aura toujours comme avantage de tracter énormément dès 4/5 nœuds. La wing va demander entre 10 et 15 nœuds pour s’exprimer sur un foil et restera super facile même dans 35 nœuds, voire 50 nœuds, là où le kite rime souvent avec grosse prise de risque.

Elle est géniale avec une pure board de wing, mais aussi avec de multiples supports tels que :

  • SUP foil
  • Surf foil
  • Stand Up Paddle SUP (rigides ou gonflables)
  • Skate
  • Roller
  • Mountain board
  • Tout ce qui glisse sur la neige
  • Etc.

Les atouts de la wing sont clairement identifiés : simplicité, compacité et légèreté apportent une liberté de mouvement et une facilité de prise en main inégalées. La wing est prête à voler en 1min chrono : pas de ligne à dérouler, simplement deux lattes souples à insérer dans leur fourreau, quelques coups de pompe et c’est parti.

La technologie utilisée pour la fabrication des wings est très proche de celle de nos ailes de kitesurf, mais en beaucoup plus solide. De multiples renforts sont présents sur les zones d’efforts en fonction des différentes utilisations.

Le shape de la wing est « auto-stable ». N’imaginez pas l’orienter par la force des poignets sur un wishbone : ça ne marche pas comme ça. Vous baissez la main arrière : la wing se met à plat au-dessus de votre tête. Vous la montez et la wing se met à la verticale. Easy ! C’est ce qu’on appelle le pilotage parapluie ou paravent. On dit souvent que les débuts en wing ressemblent plus à de la pole dance qu’à du windsurf. En effet, il faut quasiment avoir la main arrière à la verticale sous la main avant quand on ne vole pas, pour maintenir la Wing en parapluie. Ainsi on l’éloigne de l’eau, et on utilise sa traction avec le même angle qu’un kite pour s’alléger. Alors pensez pole dance ;-)))
