Nova Wing (2022 Closeouts)

Maximum performance, minimum effort. No strings attached. Balanced and reactive, the Nova Wing generates more forward drive and upwind performance than anything you’ve ever ridden. At the heart of the Nova design is a super-stiff geometry for power and efficiency, enabling instant take-offs and a massive wind range. Intuitive transitions. Comfortable ergonomic handling. We’ve carefully positioned everything, from the XS Litevision panels to the low-profile handles, in the best place to trim the wing and make transitions safer and more intuitive. The tow-friendly wing shape with sweep and dihedral also helps keep it tracking when towing behind you on a wave. Whether your focus is on the flow of riding open ocean waves, carving or stomping out tricks, the Nova Wing will help you make the most your local conditions. Load up. Pump up. Ride longer. 

TECHNOLOGY

New Compact outline: Lighter feeling and easier to handle in all conditions, the 2022 Nova has a reduced chord length and a shorter wingspan.

New Rigid handles: Radically transform the way you ride with increased control and reduced hand-fatigue. New rigid GripLock micro-trimming control handles offer a faster, more immediate, and more direct balance adjustment.

Expanded Wind Range: The Nova has a massive wind range, with both low-end performance and high-end stability.

Smooth high-end stability: In the smaller sizes (2.5m-5m), the Nova is extremely efficient at transferring wind power into forward drive and features a linear power delivery throughout the entire wind range.

NEW tip-strike recover: The lower aspect ratio and compact outline means you’re less likely to catch a wingtip in the water.

NEW 1.9m for lighter riders: Ideal for sharing the stroke, the smallest Nova is designed for lighter riders and kids (under 50kg). Being so small, this wing is already depowered. So, it’s been given a more neutral angle of attack, enabling lighter riders to wing comfortably in any conditions.

GeoStrut: The controlled curvature of the exoskeleton increases stiffness and performance, creating a more stable centre profile that can still depower and produce less lift when you’re towing the wing behind you riding waves.

Efficient energy transfer: The new stiffer XL T-joint creates a more efficient energy-transfer while pumping the wing, without distortion in the frame. More rigid performance. No wasted energy.

Dual HyperFlow and 4-point bladder lock: Double speed, high volume single point inflation system with larger diameter inlet/outlet hose for rapid inflation and deflation. The two connections also help to prevent bladder migration while deflated or during transport.

Durable Dacron frame and N-HTRS canopy: Chasing a stiffer rig, we’ve used an ultra-strong high tenacity Dacron for the inflated structures, resulting in less deflection and movement and a stiffer overall frame during flight.

LiteVision Panels: Safer XS window panels improve the rider’s field of vision – allowing you to see what’s downwind of you before transitions.

Kevlar Strut Connection: A biaxial kevlar (aramid) fibre layer provides internal strength and reinforcement to the connection between strut and leading edge. It is bias cut, so it can flex around the curvature of the strut, with a tight and accurate fit.

DuraLite Reinforcement: Durable STPU scuff protection on the wing tips and seams, with wingtip reinforcement for added longevity.
