Features

Double Cordwise Ballooning

Pre-tensioned sail

Pre-tensioning a sail is to achieve a desired shape and control its aerodynamic properties. It helps to eliminate wrinkles and creases in the sailcloth, allowing for a smoother and more efficient surface. The amount of stretch experienced during use is minimized. This helps maintain the sail’s performance over time, as stretching can lead to distortion and reduced efficiency. Maneuvers can be performed playfully and without much loss of speed.

Verstärkte Konstruktion

ERGONOMIC STRUTSHAPE

The curved strut allows for an ergonomic hold of the handles to position the wrist neutrally to the arm. The non-slip handles have deep ribs and are oval-shaped, providing a comfortable, secure grip. Preventing the wing from slipping out of the user’s hands improves control and enables precise steering. Both features help reduce fatigue, which increases water time, allowing users to enjoy extended sessions without discomfort.

Rigid Foil Technologie

AIR PRESSURE SEPARATION

Understanding and managing the air pressure is essential for achieving desired wing performance, stability and control. The leading edge and strut of the TAO have to be filled separately to achieve different stiffness levels to maximize your control and direct handling. This way, optimum performance can be achieved, and quick assembly and disassembly are guaranteed.

DLX+ Material

FORWARD-SWEPT OUTLINE

The swept-forward wing design improves maneuverability by facilitating control and increasing agility. It supports reactivity and improves roll and lateral stability. The more forward mass and lightweight wingtips increase acceleration and playfulness and improve top-end control.

Automatisches Lentzsystem

ADVANCED TIP-FLEX

Advanced tip-flex causes controlled flexibility or bending in the wingtips. This concept enhances performance and improves the wing’s efficiency, especially during high-speed runs and maneuvering. By allowing controlled flexibility, the wingtips can absorb and dampen some dynamic forces and gust loads encountered during the session.

Triple Depower

ENHANCED FRONT HANDLES

We have improved the balance of the wing in free-flight mode. The stiffened front handle resembles a sports steering wheel and enables the wing to be guided precisely without delay. A neoprene patch underlies the handle to increase comfort and improve wing handling when surfing, preventing injury.

Our philosophy of ultra-light, stiff, and affordable construction contributes to the wing’s playfulness, free-flight drift, and balanced power distribution, decreasing the chances of getting injured. The wing packing size is tiny and does not feature complex parts that could damage your wing, ding your board, or bruise you. With a focus on user-friendly design, quick setup, and transportation, it is super convenient for users to carry their wings to their favorite surf spots.

The wing’s concept is carefully designed to balance lift and agility. It generates constant traction, preserving the legs from transferring power to the hydrofoil. It provides reliable performance to help surfers catch waves earlier, glide effortlessly, and ride for extended periods. At the same time, the wing’s responsive and maneuverable nature allows for precise control and easy turning, enabling you to perform a variety of tricks on the wave and flat water.

STING SUP FIN

The STING is a center fin upgrade for your SUP and is compatible with a wide range of stand-up paddleboards. The add-on improves stability, enabling paddlers and wingers to maintain their intended course while minimizing lateral drift. The base plate features an integrated fin box and the Kumano System to ensure a hassle-free installation, allowing users to quickly and effortlessly equip their board with this drift-stopping accessory.

The perfect accessory to our surf wings TAO and MOJO for the ultimate, comfortable and accessible wing surfing experience.

Can I use a harness with the TAO?

The strut features attachment points to link the rider to the trapezoid with a harness line/rope. The harness line/rope can be hooked to the harness to ride the wing with less effort. Recommended for advanced riders.

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.
