A-Wing XPS Lightwind Wing                          Revolutionizing the lightwind wing

Utterly unlike anything you’ve tried.

Foiling in light winds is a downright magical practice that changes the way you look at wind and water.
Make the most of every opportunity to get in the water and no matter how light the forecast gets, the all-
new A-Wing XPS Lightwind will push you to progress. It packs a remarkable punch in even the slightest
breeze while hardly being confined to any conventional “big wing” boxes; super manoevrable and
engaging to ride, light and terrifically balanced, and an all-around no brainer to fly. This is the new
standard for lightwind fun, period.

The Power Batten

An ace up its sleeve.
A primary design challenge with wings – large wings in particular – is making sure everything stays the
right shape when riding. Located at the rear of the canopy perpendicular to the strut, our proprietary,
patent-pending carbon fibre Power Batten maintains a precise airfoil profile along the full length of the
wing from leading to trailing edge. This dramatically improves power generation through the center of the
wing with hyper-efficient airflow and enables the wing’s signature bat tail outline. A narrower wingspan
with less outboard weight is more balanced, much easier to pump up onto foil and overall feels smaller
than other wings of equivalent area – all huge wins out on the water.

Cross Panel Sail Design

Where it all comes together.
The innovative Cross Panel Sail (XPS) design provides an outstanding connected feel to the wing when
riding. By arranging the canopy panels at diagonal angles, this futuristic panel layout greatly reduces sail
distortion and improves load distribution and frame rigidity. This gives all XPS Lightwind sizes a very direct
and controlled feel for easy and comfortable flying. Removable carbon fibre battens minimise trailing edge
flutter and provide easy canopy tuning for varying wind strengths.

Airframe and Canopy

It’s what you’re made of.
Weight and stiffness are everything when chasing performance, especially in lightwind wings. The XPS
Lightwind’s leading edge is made from new generation high quality lightweight Dacron, tried and tested
polyester Dacron and Ultra PE woven laminate reinforcements which provides excellent torsional stiffness
and rigidity while minimising weight and achieving real-world durability. Teijin Technoforce D3 canopy
material is light and strong and complements the Cross Panel Sail Design perfectly. The canopy windows
are made from an ultra-clear and foldable TPU which adds minimal weight to the setup while providing
terrific visibility in all conditions.

Get a Grip

Comfort through innovation.
The proprietary Hybrid Carbon Handle (HCH) design has a rigid carbon interior skeleton and a soft padded
exterior. Also found on our XPS wings, it’s a light and ultra-stiff combination that offers the best balance of
control and comfort. The strut shape positions the handles in a highly ergonomic position to boost your
session endurance. A lack of hard edges also adds an element of impact safety for you and your board.
