READ MOREArmie hits Taranaki, New Zealand, with the new V2 A Wing…
The summer Wing Foiling season in New Zealand was incredible on both the West and East coasts. Wind, epic swells and empty waves for carving up and connecting have seen Armie riding, testing and pushing himself in the search to improve the A-Wing.
And now it's ready
Powerful…
Size for size the A Wing V2 is powerful! The power delivery is progressive and balanced between both hands which makes riding easy, especially gaining speed to get on the fly or deep water starting short boards. This power also translates into high lofty jumps and great up wind angles.
Solid…
The A-Wings V2’s stiff airframe reduces sail deformation when highly powered, jumping or pumping the wing for power in light winds. The thick leading edge is not only for structural stability it also defines the nose radius of the aerofoil section which is responsible for generating the power of the wing in flight!
Balanced…
Across a wide range of conditions, the A-Wing V2 is well balanced. The load distribution between the front and rear hand, makes it comfortable and less physically fatiguing for long sessions. When riding waves or swells the V2 floats effortlessly on the font handle and feels more maneuverable when tacking, gibing or tricking around!
The A-Wing comes complete with carry bag, leash and in five optimized sizes, 2.5m/3.5m/4.5m/5.5m and 6.5m
– Redefined sail tension and seams, improving the loaded section airfoil shape.
– Elongated windows plus added rear window for improved visibility.
– New X-ply power panel laminate added to canopy in Central load zone.
– Aramid reinforcement optimized for protection while reducing weight over V1
– New improved handle construction and attachments for direct feel and control.
– New leash lock webbing strap for load distribution when on leash or being rumbled by waves.
