Wing Surf is a young discipline that has just entered the world of water sports. With the advent of Kitesurfing, the S.U.P. and foiling, it seemed that the activities to be practiced in the water had run out but, here is the protagonist of Summer 2019, wing surfing has begun to take hold and to see itself among the new sports practiced in the water to "play" with the wind. The wing, also called kitewing, wingfoil or wing surf, is an inflatable wing but without bridles, battens or booms. The legendary Robby Naish was the character who developed and perfected it. The rigidity of the sail is given by a series of tubulars that are inflated like kitesurf sails making these wings much lighter and safer, given their buoyancy. The great limit that prevented this type of wing from establishing itself in the water was due to their low power and the friction of the board in the water, in fact, not being able to generate the same power as a kite wing or a windsurf sail. , its use was very limited. The spread of hydrofoil has allowed this activity to grow and today the wing represents a breath of fresh air in this category, also confirmed by the fact that every kitesurf and hydrofoil brand is massively pushing this new tool, underlining the specific characteristics that they distinguish it from others. In fact, the choice of a wing has many factors to take into consideration: construction fabrics, rigidity of the inflatable structure, handles or boom / mast to grasp and direct the wing, different attachment points for the safety leash and to "hook ”With the harness in order to exploit 100% the force of the wind and let the arms rest, transparent fabric in the upper part to allow you to see through the wing and always have optimal visibility. Observing the products of the various brands we can see that the dihedral shape of the wings differs slightly, giving a different aesthetic appearance and offering more or less performing navigation characteristics.
