“GREAT STABILITY AND CONTROL FOR ALL KIND OF USER”
This is an all-around wing that’s easy to use.
It’s especially controllable when overpowered and efficient when pumping in light wind due to the generous strut diameter which solidifies the frame’s stiffness. The wing is surprisingly stable when luffed in the neutral position, making it ideal for downwinders and carving.
Optimal for wingfoil beginners to down-the-line wave riders.

We focused on reduced arm pressure and extra comfort when riding for long periods of time. Every size has been precisely designed to achieve maximum control and performance. Optimal for wingfoil beginners to down-the-line wave riders.
NEW EXTENDED WINDOWS
FOR A MUCH LARGER FIELD OF VISION
High-visibility windows all safety in crowds – the more you see, the safer you’ll be!
NEW WINGTIPS ARE ANGLED INWARD
FOR SIZE 5 AND ABOVE
The inward angled wingtips on the 5, 6, 7 and 8 m2 sizes to keep the tips out of the water when starting or overpowered.
NEW THICKER, SOFTER, WIDE SPANNING HANDLES
For micro trimming at speed.
NEW KEVLAR REINFORCEMENT
IN THE MOST CRITICAL AREA
The Kevlar, found in a bulletproof vest, is put in the most critical area to protect the FreeWing from wearing while minimizing weight.
NEW ANGLED HANDLES
Angled handles for convenience getting started and to perform jibes and maneuvers.
NEW LEASH CUFF SYSTEM
The included leash has a cuff system that allows you to strap in with only one hand.
NEW HOSE CLAMP
ANOTHER INNOVATION FOR YOUR SAFETY
The hose clamp is used to isolate the air pressure in the central strut and leading edge. In the event of leaking bladder, the clamp ensures that some air remains in the wing.
OPEN THE HOSE CLAMP WHEN INFLATING / DEFLATING:
To open the hose clamp, push on the lever to allow the clamp to open.
CLOSE THE HOSE CLAMP DURING WING SESSION:
To close the hose clamp, squeeze the clamp together while feeling the teeth ratchet until clamp feels tight.
NEW HARNESS LINE ATTACHMENT POINTS
The harness lines reduce fatigue in the arms, allowing you to ride for longer periods.
NEW CENTRAL STRUT AIR VALVE
ON LARGER SIZE 5, 6, AND 7
For you to deflate the larger wings faster and easier.
NEW EASY DE-POWER
Very powerful, with arm pressure minimized due to easy de-power.
NEW STRUT REINFORCEMENT
Smart localized strut reinforcements for added durability and minimum wing weight.

“The FreeWing Air development started back in 2012 at our Airush development center in Cape Town. In 2015 we decided to put the development on ice as we felt that a windsurfing rig was still functioning better. Then came SUP foiling, changing the game and now we are rolling out our FreeWing program, including industry-leading 4’6” x 25” boards to amazingly well-performing 7 meter wings. Its been loads of fun for our group’s brands to develop products together and when Airush launched the first kites back some 19 years ago, it was under the Airush / Starboard alliance name.
Our workshop is 15 meters away from our lake in Thailand, so our days and evenings are filled with Wingboarding and pump foil testing.
We look forward to taking the sport we almost invented to the next level, the same way we have helped Windsurfing and Paddleboarding become easy sports to learn, and providing game-changing high-end performance year after year. After being in the water for over 40 years, the 3 things I am super passionate about exploring are Wingboarding, the rebuilding of Junior Windsurfing, and supporting our own Olympic iQFoil class, but the most fun is developing Wing gear.”

STARBOARD CHIEF INNOVATOR
“I am super stoked to see the introduction of the Freewing in the market place. The dream has been to develop a product that combines the simplicity and playfulness of a kite with the direct connection and security of a windsurfer. Whether you are looking for an entry point into wind sports or a completely fresh experience as an advanced rider, the Freewing opens a whole new dimension.”
CLINTON FILEN
AIRUSH DESIGN DIRECTOR
“I am extremely delighted with the new Freewing. It’s the perfect combo of all my passions reunited; Kiteboarding, Windsurfing and Surf Foiling.
This sport gives you the chance to ride in countless new and undiscovered spots that you never thought were possible. Being very convenient for people living close to lakes and far away from the ocean.
The advantages provided by the lack of ballast on the sail really allow you to feel free during carving or downwinders, this is the only sail sport that gives you such freedom. We are extremely lucky to be present and take part in the rise of a radiant new sport that will change the game completely on watersports”.
