HIGH LIFT CONCEPT

Due to the highly refined LE geometry and entry shaping, each wing produces the maximum thrust (power and acceleration) for its size. This dramatically increases the range, allowing riders to use a smaller wing than is typical in each set of conditions. The result is easier handling and greater maneuverability.

HIGH TENSION CANOPY WITH STRUCTURED CAMBER LENS

The 3D shape of the canopy leading edge is defined by a series of transverse panels that converge at the wingtips. This leverages the LE Tube structure to maximize tension in the critical entry sections – the result is more lift and a higher stall angle for better acceleration in light winds, and the ability to fly efficiently at low angles of attack for better control and higher top speeds in strong winds.

VENTED STRUT

The large opening between the LE and the front of the fill panel (which connects the canopy to the strut) allows the pressure to equalize across the two sides of the wing. This improves overall performance and makes the wing even more stable.

Design Driven

INNOVATION

Designed and tested at our NeilPryde Maui Design Center by Nils Rosenblad, former NeilPryde Windsurfing sail designer and America's Cup engineer, then further developed through our team's feedback from across the world. No stone is left uncovered in our relentless drive to be the best at what we do.

Wing Design by Sail Engineer

We know we'll never outrun evolution. However, the NeilPryde ethos has always been committed to the best engineering humanly possible. To performance, innovation and top quality, long lasting products. After 2 years of development, we're confident that we've pushed the boundaries of what's possible again with the first NeilPryde Wing.

DESIGN FEATURES

High Lift Coefficient Concept

Due to the highly refined LE geometry and entry shaping, each wing produces the maximum thrust (power and acceleration) for its size. This dramatically increases the range, allowing riders to use a smaller wing than is typical in each set of conditions. The result is easier handling and greater maneuverability.

Modified delta Planform

This creates a more efficient LE shape and an elliptical spanwise lift distribution for better upwind performance and control.

Dihedral Front Profile 

The dihedral angle allows higher aspect ratios due to increased wingtip clearance. It also makes the wing very roll stable, especially when flagging.

Low Drag Wingtips with Linear Washout 

The small LE diameter at the wingtips reduces drag and allows dynamic twist. This improves low end acceleration during pumping as well as control when powered up.

Vented Strut

The large opening between the LE and the front of the fill panel (which connects the canopy to the strut) allows the pressure to equalize across the two sides of the wing. This improves overall performance and makes the wing even more stable.

STRUCTURE

NeilPryde Wings Features and Innovations

High Tension Canopy with Structured Camber Lens

The 3D shape of the canopy leading edge is defined by a series of transverse panels that converge at the wingtips. This leverages the Leading Edge Tube structure to maximize tension in the critical entry sections – the result is more lift and a higher stall angle for better acceleration in light winds, and the ability to fly efficiently at low angles of attack for better control and higher top speeds in strong winds.

Transverse Canopy Paneling 

This construction matches the threadlines of the canopy panels to the load path, making the flying shape more stable and adding long-term durability to the canopy.

Integral Batten System

Sewn-in composite battens create a flat, fast trailing edge with minimum flutter.

Staggered material weights on LE

The use of an ultra-light, high-tenacity woven polyester at the wingtips and back of strut results in a very light ‘feel’ due to reduced swing weight.

Boundary panels on Canopy Perimeter

The canopy structure is reinforced with a tough high tenacity rip stop frame that runs down the middle, out the trailing edges to the wingtips and then follows the LE tube back to the center for maximum strength and durability.

PERFORMANCE DRIVEN STATIC TENSION DISTRIBUTION

NP wings have a canopy tension distribution similar to a windsurf sail, with maximum tension forward that gradually relaxes towards the trailing edge. Once the wing is loaded, the result is a better flying shape with the camber staying locked forward and a clean trailing edge.

VALVES

Independent LE and Strut Valves – the partition adds safety by having two independent air chambers. Increases the Leading Edge stiffness (the Strut cannot act as an expansion chamber for the leading edge) and allows the wing to be deflated more quickly.

Proprietry NeilPryde Handle Features

Rigid Tubular Handles with Proprietary Base System

Add amazing roll control and comfort while providing the perfect structure to add a harness line.

Ergonomic Design

The handle bases integrate seamlessly into the strut, while the arc of the handle plane reduces fatigue and positions the wing at the optimum flight angle.

Integral Impact Protection

The curved front handle has a bumper under the EVA grip to protect you and your board from impact.

Drop Grip Front Handle

The vertical section on the forward handle is ideal for flagging and waveriding due to improved roll control over conventional flagging handles.

Calibrated Handle Positions 

The handles are equidistant from the center of effort on each wingsize for effortless balanced flight. The larger wings feature longer handles to give the rider hand position options to maximize power or reduce fatigue.

PVC Windows with Structural Elements 

High quality polished PVC windows provide maximum visibility, while integral reinforcements carry the transverse loads to minimize canopy distortion and stretch.
