AER

Freeride / Freestyle / Lightwind (*6m, 7m, 8m)

1 / 1.3 / 1.6 / 2 / 2.5 / 3 / 4 / 5

There are a lot of wing designs out there, but every so often a new one comes along that changes the status quo and makes people say, finally.

What started out as a project to see just how much weight we could reduce to create a simple wing, ended up with a product that blew our teams minds. A wing that is as light as others made out of specific lightweight materials, and something that is easy to also pack down really small, this quickly became the go to wing for many of our team, especially for people looking at winging upwind, packing down and SUP downwinding back.

But why not stop there. Many of the attributes that make this such a fun and versatile wing for every day uses also made us realize there is a potential to get a whole new demographic into the sport in the form of children. This lightweight wing gives children the product they need to not only get in the sport but also to progress, the biggest challenge will be trying to keep it out of their parents hands on the windy days.

• Nano Ripstop Canopy

• 2-ply high rigidity centre load reinforcement for added arc and dihedral stability

• High dihedral for great upwind stability, reactive handling and a balanced flex

• Featherlite bladders

KEY FEATURES

• HIGH DIHEDRAL - The AER has a high amount of Dihedral which helps greatly in upwind stability and reactive handling.

• FULL AIRFOIL - The full centre section airfoil increases the low end power helping you get up and going with minimal effort.

• NOT A TOY - The small sizes have been designed specifically for not only smaller riders, but to also be used by larger riders in higher winds.

• CONVEX STRUT - The Convex support strut provides a stiff and reactive connection between the rider and wing.

• 20/20 VISION - A refined window layout, running parallel alongside the strut, made from weather resistant TPU provides increased visibility when riding.

• TIP TWIST - Progressive tip twist as the sizing increases in the Vision helps keep sheeting relative and responsive no matter what size wing you ride.

TECHNICAL POINTS

• Nano Ripstop - The highest level of performance can only be achieved when the kite’s design properties are supported by a stable and reactive kite material. Nano Ripstop provides exceptional durability, elongation and recovery characteristics.

• Feather Weight Handles - These lightweight handles help reduce the weight of the wing, but also help when packing down for downwinders.

• Dual Airlock - Two airlock valves give you the ability to customise your LE to strut pressure based on the size of wing you are using.

• TE load distributor - Increases wing durability while robustly helps distribute wing tension throughout the Trailing Edge. The abrasive material stops scuffage while the wing rests on land.
