Thanks to its optimized design and precise fabrics
placement, the STRIKE is a masterpiece of
aerodynamism. This fourth version of our iconic wing has
been refined to guarantee a perfect control of the profile,
and hence unforgettable, high-performance sessions.
• Optimized design for unprecedented performance
• HITEX and TECHNOFORCE materials for increased
durability
• Perfect control of the profile and deformations to
guarantee comfort throughout the entire wind range
• Unmatched speed and power delivery
• Impressive pop, hangtime, and upwind performances
• Intuitive pumping for easy planing starts
• Equipped with our new interchangeable handle
system
Our new STRIKE features once more a super intuitive
pumping with a certain flexibility that makes it easy to
start planing without having to expend a lot of energy
or learn a special technique. This STRIKE responds to
pumping with immediate power.
We’ve worked on the wing’s balance and aerodynamics
to ensure exceptional and superior performance, while
maintaining control and precision. This new STRIKE
offers an unrivalled smoothness of traction that makes it
possible to ride effortlessly, as if using a smaller, very light
wing.
The STRIKE’s control throughout the wind range is
impressive, allowing you to easily handle gusts. For
those who love speed, it brings impressive horizontal
NEW
accelerations, without a vertical boost; its design’s
secret brings out these unique sensations.
In the low end, the STRIKE never seems to suffer from air
holes or heading winds, maintaining a constant glide and
exceptional upwind abilities.
Thanks to its stiffness, accelerations, and massive pop
and hangtime, the STRIKE will also have you hooked on
freestyle. For your rotations, the wing turns easily on its
own, allowing you to land all your tricks and try out new
ones.
This STRIKE is much more than a new model; it’s a
perfect blend of performance, a lightweight feel and
smooth traction.
Design:
The design of the STRIKE has been entirely revised. The
central strut is now completely straight, which allows us
to better control its deformation and possible twisting,
while reducing drag. As a result, the infill is a bit lower and
deforms less, and we’ve extended it almost all the way
to the back. Our innovative Load Diffuser is reduced for
weight gain, especially during freefly.
We’ve also added dihedral angle to improve stability and
keep the wingtips out of the water when pumping and
riding. The new leading and trailing edge tensions as well
as a refined radial cut help keep the profile smooth and
stable for incredible performance and control.
The accurate panel layout, precise load management and
staggered seams continue to bring exceptional control
of the profile, especially in the high end. The use of HITEX
on the inflatable structure and TECHNOFORCE™/D2
on the canopy offer great resistance to elongation and
therefore greater durability and performances. The
materials are also perfectly distributed to account
for the different tensions, high pressures, and weight
distribution in each specific area.
Thanks to this Sail Engineering and design work, the new
STRIKE is an ideal compromise of performance, control,
and smoothness. The wing feels stiff enough for any
rider to perform and stay in control, but remains at the
same time very progressive, offering a gentle and swift
forward traction.
Handles:
The new STRIKE is fitted with our new interchangeable
handle system. Soft, hybrid or rigid handles, you now get
to customize handles at your preference
