The WING 500 at a glance
Comfort and rigidity, the ideal combo for winging pleasure in all conditions!
Its rigidity and shape provide excellent power restitution, which favours planning starts while remaining controllable in stronger winds.
Its ergonomic handles and reduced wingspan provide ideal comfort for your longest sessions.
Available in 3m² / 4m² / 5m² and 6m².
For which level? For which practice?
Whether you're an advanced rider or a beginner, this wing foil kite will allow you to have fun on the water without getting tired, thanks to its reduced wingspan and comfort, during your freeride outings.
What is freeride? It's the pleasure of sailing, in total freedom! The versatility of our wing means you can enjoy the elements comfortably, session after session. Unplugging guaranteed!
Shape 1/2
Our WNG500 wing has been designed with a compact shape, and its reduced wingspan makes it easy to handle.
The progressive curvature of the outline, combined with the increased cross-section of the bladder, ensures great rigidity for your wing.
The progressive dihedral provides great stability without blocking the yaw too much, for easy maneuvering.
The S-shaped batten optimizes sailing comfort and improves canopy tension.
Shape 2/2
The shape of the 6m² has been designed with a lower ratio than the rest of the range. This makes it possible to contain its wingspan and thus limit the risk of touching present on large sail surfaces.
Canopy
The tension of the canopy has been optimized to give you direct feedback from your wing.
Radial cut-outs, oriented fabrics and reinforcements in strategic places have been worked to maintain the shape of your wing session after session.
Thick monofilm weft windows placed vertically on the wing give you a vision downwind whatever the orientation of your sail.
Handles
The wing WNG500 has been equipped with soft handles, for greater comfort while reducing the risk of damaging your board.
The ergonomic 27mm semicircular handles have been stiffened for greater responsiveness.
The front handle, moved forward on the batten, provides ideal balance and power management.
The rear handle has been lengthened to make it easier to adjust the power of your wing.
Freefly handle
The reduced cross-section of the freefly handle gives you better control of your wing.
A neoprene lining on the back of the handle reduces the risk of rubbing and discomfort when surfing.
Inflating system
The leading edge and center batten are separate, allowing you to manage the pressure of the 2 chambers independently, reducing the risk of failure caused by the one pump, making it easier to replace your bladder if necessary, and allowing faster deflation.
The recommended inflation pressure is 8 PSI, which can be reduced to 6 PSI in the leading edge for greater comfort in strong winds.
Valves
The WNG500 wing is equipped with integrated high-pressure valves.
They make inflating easier by giving you better control over the pressure and deflating your wing in a single movement.
Their integration into the bladder reduces the risk of getting tangled up with the leash.
Compatible pumps:
ref.8642249 - recommended if you have a rigid board
ref.8543028 - recommended if you have an inflatable board: one and the same pump to inflate your board and your wing.
Reinforcements
Kevlar reinforcements have been positioned at strategic points that may come into contact with the ground for maximum resistance.
Canopy reinforcements limit the risk of flap and canopy degradation.
Component features
- Triple ripstop spinnaker.
- Dacron.
- "KEVLAR/NYLON" abrasion-resistant reinforcement.
