Description
The Freewing Nitro from Starboard / Airush will be the game changer of 2022. A wing with an even stiffer and lighter profile thanks to composite material combined with a super design!
The Nitro Wing features cutting-edge designs with innovative materials to offer wingfoilers and wingsurfers a no-compromise, high-performance wing.
This ultra-responsive, lightweight and super durable wing delivers instant, smooth power for wingfoiling and windsurfing. It feels like it’s 1m larger but controls like it’s 1m smaller, exactly like nothing else.
The FreeWing Nitro is mind-bogglingly better, but why?
We’ve combined over 20 years of kite and wing design experience with tomorrow’s technology, to create the new Nitro Wing.
Our unique ideology on composite materials means we have spent years chasing responsiveness, light-weight and durability in a single product, and the Nitro is the best example of this yet.
The key to the Nitro Wing is ultra PE frame space which combines our absolute cutting-edge Ultra PE high-pressure leading edge and strut with our proven Ultra PE load frame.
Specifications:
• Wing Span: 285cm / 316cm
• Wing Range (Knots): 16-32 / 12-26
• Recommended Inflating Pressure (PSI): 11 / 10
• Estimated Weight: 1.67Kg / 2.00 Kg
• Aspect Ratio: 2.2 / 2
Features:
Reduced Weight:
The HO’OKIPA Ultra PE fabric is 25% lighter than traditional Dacron leading edge materials. The reduced diameter structures and optimized details result in an overall weight saving of up to 30%.
High Pressure Leading Edge:
The main windows are far forward so you can see where you fly and low down to catch the action when doing transitions. New durable PU window material has been tested for winter conditions and folds better.
(There is also the option of non-window versions, but we recommend windows for safety and maximum visibility)
Load Frame Supported Canopy:
Utilizing the same Ultra PE primarily fiber as the leading edge and struts, the load frame carries much of the primarily load running through the canopy.
This prevents the canopy cloth from overstretching and losing performance.
This also increases responsiveness by creating a more locked in shaping into the canopy.
Thinner Tips:
Thinner tips reduce the oscillation of the wing when the wing is in neutral.
This makes the AIR Team easier to control when the wing is flagged out.
Higher Tension Canopy:
The higher tension leading edge increases tension which improves the stability of the wing, low end-power and responsiveness.
Thinner Leading Edge:
Reduces the drag on the wing, when the wing is flagged out while riding or down winding.
This is especially important in more offshore wave conditions to help keep the rider on the wave face.
Allows a higher angle of attack when going upwind or traveling at higher speeds.
High-Pressure Leading Edge and Strut:
The biggest combined benefit of the Ultra PE is the ability to run higher pressure without sacrificing longevity.
This higher tension leading edge creates a much more responsive frame that can be loaded before jumping, pumps incredibly well and responds quickly to rider input.
Bag:
The bag fits both the wing and the pump with ease. It also comes with carrying straps for your convenience.
