Which changes have been made to the predecessor?
- Incredible jump feel with great initial pop and floaty feel due to the stiff frame.
- Direct feel with rigid handles + boom for freeride and freestyle.
- Less energy is wasted as the wing converts your input energy into more power output without flexing and wasting wind.
- Tighter canopy tension for predictable ride in wide range of wind conditions.
- Reduced camber in trailing edge for less drag in upwind manoeuvres and wave riding.
- Stable feel for wave riding while using front leading edge handle.
-
All wings have a great wind range from good low end, to easy handling in overpowered conditions.
Which advantages and which riding experience does the BOOM offer?
- Longer handle allows for more freedom of hand movements and placements.
- Great for freestyle as you can grab anywhere on the bar, so more room for progression.
- Updated centre strut shape allows for more space around the bar and less restrictive feel for hands in manoeuvres.
Which advantages and which riding experience does the Rigid Handles version offer?
- Even pull on the wing with 4 attachment points to the centre strut.
- More convenient packing for daily use + traveling.
- Personally I choose this option for big air in the waves as it has more even pressure with 2 handles and the 4 attachment points.
How do I speed up the drying of my wing?
To speed up passive drying of the wing, inflate it in light wind and place it on a dry surface where there is little sunlight. Avoid it hitting or flapping in the wind and make sure it is secured!
Do I have to rinse the wing with clear water after every use?
Rinse your wing from time to time with clear water, after using it in saltwater, and leave it to dry in the shade. Do not use any detergents. Detergent use on the cloth voids the warranty.
How should I store my wing for a long time?
We recommend dry storage at plus degrees. Folding the wing should be avoided when storing. If folding/kinking is necessary, we recommend laying out the wing regularly during storage.
