Developed in conjunction with our wave and freestyle Dream Team, the AIR Team is a performance-oriented wing for freestyle, wave and downwinding.
The AIR Team is the first model in the FreeWing range to incorporate our next-generation Ultra X canopy material — developed in conjunction with Challenge Sailcloth and exclusive to FreeWing. This latest technological breakthrough brings new levels of durability and low-stretch characteristics at no additional weight. Combined with the proven Ho’okipa Ultra PE high-pressure leading edge and strut, the AIR Team delivers a wing that is unrivalled in both durability and performance.
An ultralight weight 3-layer laminate.
4 times more durable than 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.
Unmatched durability, lightweight and responsiveness. Ho’okipa is a unique composite built with a reliable woven structure, supercharged through Ultra-PE fibres, which are 32x stronger than polyester at the same weight. This tensile strength allows a Ho’okipa leading edge & strut to be inflated to significantly higher pressures, creating a wing that is lighter and more responsive than anything else on the market.
Shipping standard with our new Alu Ultra Grip Hard Handles and featuring the innovative Modular Handle System technology, the AIR Team can be configured in multiple options for personalised rider preference.
Aftermarket options:
The leading-edge front handle design offers generous space & comfort. Featuring our proven Firm-Flex Grip Handle technology for superior rigidity, responsiveness, and optimal wing control. Switch out to the Alu-Ultra Grip hard handle for complete flag-out control during wave riding & downwinding sessions.
Aftermarket options:
We developed a new seam construction that can tolerate higher PSI in the leading edge and strut. Attaining a high-pressure airframe improves the stiffness, responsiveness and overall performance of the wing.
The tapered strut features a wide and strong connection at the base, creating a stiffer overall airframe.
Pumping becomes more efficient, improving acceleration and high-end power/ speed.
Provides consistent power delivery and excellent flagged-out stability. Also, more stability and lift from the canopy in maneuvers, making tacking and gibing a dream.
Medium-aspect wing ratio together with a short strut for compact power balance makes the wing more maneuverable, performing better through tacks & gybes, and when flagged out.
Thin optimized wingtips reduce drag, enhancing stability for a smoother glide when the wing is flagged out.
The back handle does not need to be as pulled in and allows for a more extended arm position, increasing overall comfort and balance.
The leading edge features a slight dihedral to maintain significant power whilst gaining better stability when the wing is flagged out.
Premium wing bag with a pump strap mount system and a wide opening for easy packing & unpacking of the wing. Features pockets for handles and accessories. Keep water bottle close or quickly stash items in the side pocket. Designed with mesh ventilation.
Each leash complements the strut‘s length when stretched out to prevent entanglement during wipeouts, & recoils back to have a leash that is as short as possible when riding.
Allows you to turn your inflatable SUP pump into a FreeWing pump.
