ALUULA NXT AIRFRAME DESIGN
With a meticulously crafted Reduced Diameter LE, The Slingwing NXT boasts an advanced Aluula Airframe for a revolutionary high-tension, high-performance wing design. The balance and handling are top-notch, with a perfect mix of stiffness at the front and flexibility at the wingtips. This setup keeps the first third of the canopy smooth and rigid for instant power, while the tips can flex in gusty winds or during surfing, giving you full control and an effortless ride.
ALUULA MATERIAL
The magic behind The Slingwing NXT lies in its Aluula material. This high-tenacity, high-molecular laminate, with its biaxial gridding and emulsion coating, eliminates stretch in all directions. It’s what makes The Slingwing NXT so light yet packed with features: balanced feel, excellent power control, and effortless stability. It’s perfect for flagging out and riding the surf with style.
RADIAL PANEL CANOPY CONSTRUCTION
The Slingwing NXT takes flight with strategically placed panels that match the loading of the canopy. This is all thanks to the stiffness provided by the LE, which helps create a high-tension, high-performance canopy. The reinforced seams and precise alignment prevent any unwanted stretch, ensuring your ride stays smooth and consistent.
ALUULA VERSASTRUT
The VersaStrut hybrid canted strut design works in harmony with the Radial Panel Canopy Construction, giving The Slingwing NXT its high-tension canopy profile. This clever design allows for fewer in-fill wall connections in the mid-section and a direct strut-to-canopy link at the trailing edge. The forward-canted section of the strut moves the wing away from the rider, providing excellent dampening and eliminating any slack. The direct connection at the rear ensures a quick response when pumping and evenly distributes the load across the canopy.
SLINGGRIP HANDLES
The Slingwing NXT’s SlingGrip handles are designed with a reduced diameter and an ergonomically optimized pentagonal shape for ultimate comfort and control. With a 27-millimeter diameter and dual-patterned EVA, these handles match the shape of your grip perfectly, adding extra side walls for that extra torque when you need it. The pistol grip front handle lets you luff the wing and ride the waves confidently, without the need to shift your hand to the leading-edge webbing handle.
CLICKCONNECT
Say goodbye to complicated setups! The Slingwing NXT features the ClickConnect system, the easiest and quickest handle connection out there. Just slide the handle into the connection point on the strut until it clicks—no tools needed, and nothing to damage your board. The ClickConnect mounts are expertly engineered, sewn around the strut to distribute the load evenly and prevent any pinching points.
