The 12.5 degree leading edge dihedral produces significant power and delivers huge stability when the wing is flagged out.
“This wing is seriously well-balanced. Walking down to the water’s edge, the wing was handling beautifully in the gusts.”
Foiling Magazine tested the 4.5m
Medium-aspect wing ratio together with a short strut for compact power balance make the wing more maneuverable, performing better through tacks & gybes, and when flagged out. Swept back wing tips stay out of the water.
Gradient load airframe – the Leading Edge has a two-stage, high-tenacity Dacron Construction. Center segments feature new HD 260 Dacron with outer sections utilising a 160g High Tenacity Dacron.
The tapered strut features a wide and strong connection at the base, creating a stiffer overall airframe. Pumping becomes more efficient, improving acceleration and high-end power / speed.
The longer battens remove all flutter regardless of wind strength, providing an extraordinarily silent and comfortable riding experience
“Getting into the water with the wing, I found flipping it over in the strong winds to prepare for my first water starts nice and easy, with the wing hardly as much as fluttering, which instills confidence when riding in slightly over-powered conditions.”

Available on 7m and 8m
The three strut configuration stabilizes the additional area in the wingtips and allows adding more surface into a given wingspan to create a lower aspect wing. Additionally, the wingtip struts stabilize the canopy for increased top-end speed.
Our flagging handle is light, and stiff for the ultimate control when flagging the wing.
Windows are in the ideal position for maximum vision and made from a durable PU material, suitable for use in all climate conditions.
Designed for maximum safety and freedom, this strong, recoil leash line comes with a high-quality waist belt, ensuring a secure and comfortable attachment to your FreeWing. Unlike traditional wrist leashes that can restrict one arm, our waist leash allows both arms to remain free, enhancing safety and control in any situation.
“I was very pleased that this wing came with a waist leash, which is in my opinion the gold standard of how we should be connecting to wings.”
