Whether it's free flying, wave riding or freestyle, the A-Wing XPS delivers next generation performance, power, and control for a wide range of range of riding conditions. The design team consisted of the world's leading wing and kite designers in order to push this shape to the next level. Each stage of the A-Wing XPS development from concept to rider testing chased the goal of achieving balanced performance for the best all-around real world riding experience possible. Span: 227cmArea: 2.2m2Weight: 2.15kg Carry BagWrist LeashSpare BattensPatch Kit Connection and control The innovative Cross Panel Sail (XPS) design provides an outstanding connected feel to the wing when riding. By arranging the canopy panels at diagonal angles, this futuristic panel layout greatly reduces sail distortion and improves load distribution and frame rigidity. This gives all XPS sizes a very direct and controlled feel for easy and comfortable flying. Removable carbon fibre battens minimize trailing edge flutter and provide easy canopy tuning for varying wind strengths. Stable and powerful going upwind The XPS's airfoil section shape combined with our pre-twist geometry produces incredible speed with sublime upwind performance. This greatly benefits jump amplitude for freestyle maneuvers and delivers plenty of hang time and float for smooth landings. This wing is also a wave rider's dream with little to no luffing or flutter and excellent stability when flagged out, allowing the rider to focus less on the wing and more on shredding the wave. Hybrid Carbon Handles The proprietary Hybrid Carbon Handle (HCH) design has a rigid carbon interior skeleton and a soft padded exterior. Also found on all our A-Wings, it's a light and ultra-stiff combination that offers the best balance of control and comfort. The strut shape positions the handles in a highly ergonomic position to boost your session endurance. A lack of hard edges also adds an element of impact safety for you and your board.
