Nano Ripstop Canopy
The highest level of performance can only be achieved when the kite’s design properties are supported by a stable and reactive kite material. Nano Ripstop provides best-in-class durability, elongation and recovery characteristics.

High Tenacity Dacron
High Tenacity Dacron is specifically designed for inflated kite structures. The construction of this material is very warp oriented using ultra high tenacity yarns with an increased thread count to combat elongation under high inflation pressures. Lower elongation makes for a more accurate kite/wing with a more efficient and accurate airfoil in flight.
Ultra Hp
A lightweight laminate material which boasts amazing strength and stability especially at higher pressures. The use of Ultra HP allows for the opportunity to get a stronger frame at higher pressures, allowing the wing to utilize a 20% smaller diameter leading edge compared to normal materials.
Skeletal Frame
The use of HTD materials, and strategically placed nano ripstop transitions, provides a stable and secure skeleton to the wings. This skeleton is the key to maintaining structure under the dynamic loads that Wingsurfing provides.
High Pressure Frame
One unique benefit of Ultra-HP is that it allows us to inflate the Leading edge to a higher pressure. Combined with the unique reflex characteristics of the material you have a light, stiff narrow diameter frame.
Composite Widespan Handles
Multi material composite wide span handles provide the rigidity you need for control, but with the benefit of soft to touch materials in the areas you need it. The widespan design allows for micro adjustment to fine tune the wings performance, as well as to aid in transitions and maneuvers.
Pure Impulse Front Handle
Infused with the technology of the Widespan Handles, the Pure Impulse front handle provides a direct location for carrying, maneuvering and also for controlling the wing. On a wave the Pure Impulse Handle allows you to move the wing where you want it, when you want it, allowing you to focus on the wave ahead.
Load Path Panels
Wingsurfing is a unique sport and it puts it’s own unique forces on products. The Load Path Panel Layout has been carefully designed to help mitigate the varying loads and elongation that occur on wings. This translates into a cleaner and more structural product in a wider range of conditions.
