Aile de Wing TEST Freewing X-15 Class 5,5 m²

Aile test magasin, peu servie. RAS!
une bombe pour pratiquer les longues distances et race , avec le double profil et le matériau ULTRA X.

La X-15 Class est une proposition de FreeWing et Starboard d’une classe d’équipement pour le wingfoil racing en monotypie, autrement appelé One Design. Toute la philosophie des compétitions en One Design, c’est de permettre aux athlètes de s’affronter à armes égales, avec le même matos, pour que ce soit le meilleur qui gagne et non pas le meilleur et le mieux équipé.

Homologuée en course X15, cette wing est aussi une machine de race pour vos sessions et toutes les autres compétitions de race et longues distances.

En X-15 Class, voici les classes d' ages correspondantes aux surfaces:
4,5m²: Under 13 year
5.0m²: Under 15 year
5.5m²: Under 17 year
6.0m²: Under 19 + Women Senior
6.5m²: Men senior



There are many popular one-design classes in both sailing and windsurfing. But, until now, there have not been any one-design wingfoil classes. So here we are. Together, Starboard and FreeWing have stepped up to the plate to introduce one-design wingfoil racing.
Why one-design racing though? Well, it’s a whole lot more fun when everyone is in the same “race car”! One-design racing is popular, largely because homogenous equipment inherently introduces elements of fairness. That means no decisions and no second-guessing. And the gear stays the same for longer so you don’t have to update it every year – avoiding the much criticised “pay to win” or “pay to play” aspects of traditionally material-driven sports like sailing where costly more advanced equipment creates a huge advantage for those who wield it.

We felt like a lot of riders wanted to see this in wingfoil – to enjoy the benefits that one design brings. That’s why we’re here, and that’s what this is: The X-15 Class – one-design wingfoil racing featuring the latest cutting-edge equipment.

May the best rider win.

EXCLUSIVE ULTRA X CANOPY NEW
An ultralight weight 3-layer laminate.
4 times more durable than a woven canopy.
Woven base layer enhanced with ultra-light PE mesh to carry primary load.
Fused together with a low stretch 0.25 mm film.
LOW STRETCH
ULTRA RESPONSIVE
LIGHTWEIGHT 86 GSM

DOUBLE SURFACE TECH NEW
Also known as double / twin skin sail, is an innovative design in winging that improves airflow over and around the wing’s Leading Edge, greatly improving aerodynamic characteristics and remarkably increasing upwind angle of attack. The double surface design creates a low-drag, aerodynamic surface that eliminates the separation bubble behind the leading edge, significantly improving wind flow in this key area.
*Available on 5.5 / 6.0 / 6.5

REEF ZIPPER TECH NEW
The first wing to feature a reduceable canopy size, Reef Zipper Tech by FreeWing allows the wing to be easily and rapidly reduced by 1m2. This design feature allows a single wing to be used in greater wind range, eliminating the need for wing quivers and greatly reducing the cost of entering fair racing.

PRE-PREG CARBON BOOM NEW
The X-15 wing comes standard with our latest stiff and lightweight Pre-Preg Carbon Boom, delivering the ultimate in locked-in, responsive performance. Wrapped in grippy EVA, this one-size boom fits all X-15 wings for seamless compatibility.
The Carbon Boom is secured onto reinforced mount plates and handles harness line loads with ease, with dynamic load dispersion through large mount base pads.
