WING DESIGN

Front view: a gentle moustache front view with a shallow monoconcave in the centre section and gently raising wing tips. The monoconcave boosts take-off power while remaining longitudinally stable at high speeds, while the gently raising wing tips allow the tips to breach the surface seamlessly without ventilation: you won’t even feel the wing tips have breached the surface, letting you focus on speed in total control.

Wing section: a modified version of the Tom Speer H005 foil profile, a profile we love for its incredible lift / drag ratio across a wide performance range.

Thinned-out wing tips help us reduce drag generated from tip-vortices and to reduce the pressure difference between the upper and lower surfaces, enabling that magical seamless tip-breaching effect. Thinner tips also improve maneuverability when the tips travels at higher speeds than the centre section.

Fast, precise and maneuverable, the Glider Pro is an amazing wing when tow-foiling into waves.

WHAT MAKES IT SO STIFF?

The cross section of the front wing male ferrule is 55% thicker compared to the original Quick Lock: less twist = more control.

The tail wing section and the mast slot is the same as on the original Quick Lock fuselage, so masts and tail wings are cross-compatible.

The new Lock-Slot on the top adds an an extra mechanical locking point.

The new octagonal shape of the male ferrule, with flat sides and sharp corners, maximizes the interlocking surface areas.
