Neil Pryde Glide Wind foil

Glide Wind er Neil Prydes mest populære windfoil. En foil som er designet for å gjøre det enkelt å reise seg og fly! Foilen planer tidlig slik at den løfter deg ved den minste vindpust. Det flotte med Glide Wind, er at den planer i lav hastighet, noe som gjør at du føler deg trygg og sikker med foil helt fra starten av. Takket være den litt større vingen vil du kunne fly i skikkelig lette vinder med litt mindre seil enn før. Foilens vinger har avrundede kanter, noe som betyr at du ikke trenger å skade foten eller foilen hvis du ved et uhell sparker i den. Glide Wind fungerer også perfekt som en bølge / freestyle-foil for deg som vil "fly" rundt bølgene eller bare fly av sted. Glide Wind er tilgjengelig med både Powerbox- og Deep Tuttle-hode. Legg merke til at foildelene alltid skal demonteres etter bruk. Hvis du lar den sitte samlet, risikerer du at skruene setter seg (ofte på grunn av sand og salt), og blir vanskelige å fjerne.

FEATURES

BASE SYSTEM

New CNC reinforced base construction.
Two deep titanium vertical tube connections to the mast for maximum strength, eliminating movement and offering perfect load transfer. Avoids vibration around the upper attachment area. Initially mounted with a Powerbox base system.

CONSTRUCTION

All foils are supplied with a T-40 torx drive, and come with titanium plated stainless steel bolts for maximum strength to weight ratio, preventing any corrosion problems.

TAIL WING ADJUSTMENT - NEUTRAL

Across our foils, the tail wings are there to deliver inverted thrust to balance the main wings to ensure stability and control. The foils come with a standard neutral tail wing setting.

TAIL WING ADJUSTMENT - DOWN TILTED

A down-tilted setting ensures higher stability and more control in lighter winds, it naturally lifts the foil more and increases the low-end power. This setting is also a go-to when you are a heavier rider.

TAIL WING ADJUSTMENT - UP TILTED

An up-tilted setting will help to reduce drag and lift, by up-tilting the tail wing setting, this can also be of benefit to lighter riders or in heavier wind conditions.

MAST

80 cm aluminum mast. Optimized structure with two CNC female base system inserts ensuring maximum strength.
Hollow construction to reduce weight combined with x3 vertical cross-ribs for maximum stiffness. Sanded mast trailing edge to avoid planning turbulence noise. Tempered, salt water corrosion resistant 6061-T6 aluminum.

WIND FUSELAGE

Perfectly blended wing to CNC machined fuselage connection and integrated wind fuselage providing minimum drag. Volume and weight of the aluminum used in the fuselage is reduced by eliminating the forward protruding nose.

WINGS

GLIDE wings are made of pre-preg carbon layup with inner foam construction for maximum durability to weight ratio. This setup creates a natural tendency to roll into turns maintaining a nice balance during your ride.

The front wing is designed with a pronounced rounded “angle of attack” and an elliptical bend shape. While flying, this thick leading edge on the front wing naturally closes the radius of your turn, tightening it. Far back, the angled down tail wings maintain a self- stabilizing roll allowing an easy turning performance.
During this momentum, the GLIDE tail wing will always come back to a flat position, stabilizing the turn.
