Understanding the Elements That Influence Your Wing's Performance and Feel
Understanding the factors that influence your wing's performance and feel is essential to choosing the perfect model.
Here are the key parameters to refine your choice:
Technical Parameters That Influence Performance
1. Camber
Camber determines the type of power generated by the wing.
- A pronounced camber provides more power for early takeoff, ideal in light wind conditions or for beginner riders seeking traction.
- A reduced camber prioritizes speed and stability in the high wind range, perfect for competitions or sessions in strong wind.
- A forward camber facilitates takeoff and generates more direct traction, offering a constant sense of control. It is ideal for marginal conditions or for riders seeking maximum lift.
- A recessed camber promotes smoother glide, making it particularly suitable for disciplines where finesse and speed are key, such as racing or wave riding.
2. Dihedral Angle
The dihedral corresponds to the angle formed by the two halves of the wing when viewed flat from the front.
- A pronounced dihedral makes flips easier, reduces power, simplifies tension and the appearance of the wing, and keeps the tips away from the water.
- A reduced dihedral improves aerodynamic efficiency, maneuverability, precision, and power but requires more precise work on tension.
3. Span
The span influences stability and maneuverability.
- A large span stabilizes and smooths the flight and optimizes glide.
- A reduced span increases power, enhances rotation and agility, and is ideal for freestyle or wave riding.
4. Aspect Ratio
The aspect ratio (span divided by width) directly impacts the wing’s behavior.
- A high aspect ratio promotes glide, speed, and directional stability.
- A low aspect ratio makes the wing more maneuverable, torque-rich, and accessible, making it perfect for beginners or freestyle.
5. Canopy Tension
The tension applied to the canopy directly impacts the stability and feel of the wing.
- High tension maintains the wing’s shape at its maximum efficiency, offering precise handling and increased stability, even in gusts. It is ideal for technical riders seeking maximum performance and consistent behavior.
- Soft tension allows the wing to "breathe" and adapt to wind variations, relieving the rider during long sessions or in irregular conditions. This is perfect for more comfortable freeriding but may lead to flapping and instability. A wing that self-regulates is good; a wing that deforms uncontrollably is not.
6. Leading Edge Curve
The curve affects rigidity and force distribution.
- A pronounced curve generates more power and improves low-end stability.
- A flatter curve increases maximum speed and responsiveness.
7. Trailing Edge Curve
- Positive curve (curved backward): Promotes power and efficiency during pumping but risks excessive flapping.
- Negative curve (curved forward): Reduces drag and flapping, ensuring maximum performance when properly powered.
8. Tip Shape
- Wide tips improve stability during takeoff and simplify control.
- Narrow tips reduce drag and enhance maneuverability but require more technical skill.
9. Tip Twist
The twist influences the distribution of power.
- Pronounced twist provides better control in gusty winds.
- Reduced twist maximizes power but can become difficult to handle in high wind ranges.
10. Panel Cut Design
The cut of the panels influences canopy tension and load distribution.
- Well-adjusted panels ensure shape stability and a more durable performance level.
- Multiple panels allow easier masking of potential repairs.
- However, more panels increase weight and cost due to longer stitching lengths.
11. Leading Edge Diameter
- A wide leading edge in the center improves structural rigidity and resistance to flex, increasing power but adding weight and drag.
- A thinner leading edge in the center allows for more flex, requiring higher inflation pressure. It results in a more refined profile.
- At the tips, a thinner diameter reduces drag and enhances maneuverability.
12. Central Strut Connection to Leading Edge
- A strong central strut connection to the leading edge limits tip twist, increasing responsiveness and power transfer to the rider. It also prevents trailing edge flapping.
- A weaker connection allows more twist, increasing tolerance and self-regulation, but it must be well-controlled.
13. Central Strut Shape
- A rigid central strut increases responsiveness and power transfer to the rider.
- A softer strut offers greater tolerance in changing conditions, allowing the trailing edge to open. However, this can lead to flapping and variations in the center of the power point.
14. Presence of Additional Battens
- Some wings incorporate side battens to increase rigidity and improve control.
- This increases weight and reduces maneuverability.
15. Anti-Vibration Battens on the Trailing Edge
- These specific battens reduce flutter and ensure silent and stable glide, improving durability.
Adapt Your Wing to Your Style and Needs
The above characteristics must be considered based on your program (racing, freestyle, wave riding, etc.) and the conditions in which you ride.
- A freestyle rider will favor a compact and responsive wing.
- A free-fly enthusiast will look for a stable and lightweight wing.
These elements shape the essence of each model, directly influencing its performance and feel on the water. You now have the tools to choose the wing that perfectly matches your ambitions.

Tips and Advice to Optimize Your Wing Usage
Here are the essential points and best practices to maximize your performance in wingfoil and extend the lifespan of your equipment:
1. Adjust Inflation and Pressure
- Strictly follow the recommended pressure guidelines to optimize the wing's rigidity.
- Underinflation leads to performance loss, less precise shape, and can cause flapping.
- Always inflate to the maximum recommended pressure using an appropriate pump (dual action for initial inflation, single action for finalizing).
2. Proper Wing Maintenance
- Rinsing: Avoid systematically rinsing with fresh water, as salt can help prevent mold. If you rinse, do so sparingly to avoid damage from chlorine.
- Drying: Prefer drying the wing flat or inflated to prevent bladder displacement. Never hang a deflated wing by a handle.
- Storage: Store your wing away from sunlight, humidity, and extreme temperatures. Excessive heat or cold can degrade the materials.
3. Handling and Precautions
- On the beach: Place your wing on a clean surface, away from sharp or puncturing objects.
- While riding: Keep the wing out of the water as much as possible, especially in waves. A fall in waves can severely damage the fabric and seams.
- With a foil: Avoid any contact between the wing and the foil. A stabilizer or front wing can puncture the fabric instantly.
4. Maximizing Performance According to Conditions
- Light wind: Use a wing with pronounced camber to generate more power and make takeoff easier.
- Strong wind: Opt for a wing with a taut canopy for increased stability and better gust management.
- Cold water: Use a slightly larger wing to offset the extra weight of your gear.
5. In Case of a Fall or Emergency
- Use your wing to swim faster: Keep the leading edge facing the water, grab the wing, and let it inflate with the wind to provide additional support.
- Regularly inspect your leash before and after each session to avoid unexpected breakage.
6. Maintaining Wings with Windows
- Roll the ends toward the central strut to avoid pinching the PVC in the window.
- Store them dry to prevent color transfer between fabrics and PVC.
7. Safety and Responsible Riding
- Conditions: Ride in side or onshore wind conditions to ensure an easy return to shore if problems arise. Avoid offshore winds without secure assistance.
- Right of way and distance: Respect the right-of-way rules on the water and maintain a safe distance from other users.
- Safety gear: Wear a helmet, an impact vest, and always use a leash.
8. Specific Points for Long-Term Storage
- If not using the wing for an extended period, inspect the bladders and valves before your next session.
- Avoid excessive folding to preserve the integrity of seams and materials.
9. Common Sense and Good Seamanship
- Be aware of weather forecasts and currents.
- Never use a wing as a parachute or hang glider.
- Respect nature and help others in need, always with caution.
These recommendations are designed to support safe and efficient riding while ensuring the longevity of your wing. Be sure to adjust these tips based on your needs and the specifics of your sessions.
