Our Sphinx wings offer a vastly improved wider wind range usage over most all other wings due to our innovative full radial cut panelling reducing panel warping.
Our Sphinx wings offer superb stability, the canopy holding shape in higher wind gusts providing added responsiveness due to the radial cut panels. Most wings run panels horizontally and parallel to the central strut resulting in opposing torsional forces forming stress creases diagonally in opposing angles to the panels. Studying spinnaker sails, it was concluded a radial cut wing would be the logical option. The forces radiate outward from the rear to the leading edges, more uniformly spreading the load in sync with the canopy. The result is improved canopy rigidity. Ideally suited to entry-level to upper-intermediate riders, offering universal appeal and all-around capabilities.

Material Description
The canopy is constructed from lightweight polyester Dacron® sailcloth. The leading edge and strut use heavy-duty 175 Dacron. Polyester threads are used to stitch the panels.
Care
Do not over inflate. Follow the information printed on the wing. 6-7 psi is a sufficient pressure range with a maximum of 8 psi. Do not over-inflate, as there is a risk of tearing the stitching or stressing the bladder. Rinse and air dry after use before deflating and stowing. Minor tears can be repaired using rip stop repair tape.
