Balance Front Wing - Hybrid Carbon
This is the lift edition – the ideal size and design for somebody that wants to rise higher.
Rhythmic flow of a sequence of movements A common theme in analyzing foils is getting great drive and lift but having a hard time controlling it. The board will skyrocket to the top, plunge to the bottom, or somewhere in between. This series of wings will ask you what floor on the elevator do you want to reach – and most importantly – keep you there. A nimble turn that will easily roll over to edge with its elliptical outline and additional width. It will quickly set you in the sweet spot, keep you on your specified flight pattern and do it with a quicker reacting edge hold.
This is where it all starts. The personality of your levitating experience. A proper flight begins and ends with a front wing set to your cadence and velocity. Before we tell you about our collection of products, let’s understand the science behind Aspect Ratios (a division of the chord width by the wingspan). Here’s a look at how our feathered friends have evolved their wings and how we mimic their world of aquatic flight.
LONGER WINGSPAN |
HIGHER ASPECT RATIO | |
A longer wingspan with a narrower depth outline allows flight over long distances without as much flapping. – Basis of Speed. |
As speed increases, wingspans expand, get narrower, flatter, and more streamlined at the end. |

MEDIUM WINGSPAN | MID ASPECT RATIO | |
A medium wingspan with a deeper depth outline allows it to soar with reliability, while the elliptical outline creates a quicker reacting turn. – Basis of Balance |
As stability increases wingspans shorten, get wider, more elliptical, and curl up at the end. |

With years in the making, we proudly present the mid aspect BALANCE series and our higher aspect SPEED series line of wings. We wanted to have 2 models depicting these opposing styles. Names that live up to their action – with either a more consistent or a faster flight pattern.
