Litewave Wing STYLE: Lightwind Freeride SIZE: 161 x 41 cm FINS: 4.5 cm G10
The Wing is the ultimate session saver for anyone who wants to play around on a big, flexy twin-tip when everyone else sits on the beach. In its third generation of design, this board almost stands in a category of its own as the tail shape and sidecut, coupled with the noodle-like flex give the Wing unparalleled low-end planing power. For jumping it takes a little to get used to all that extra length off the back foot, but even in super light conditions the Wing can get power into your kite and let you float some jumps. The Wing also soars upwind with less back foot pressure you can skimmer into the wind. If you thought all light-wind days were for downwinders, this board can prove that theory wrong. It may be hard to translate your freestyle moves from the Wing back into the windy days on your regular twin, but if you need to capitalize on cruising through those light-wind days look to the Wing as an answer to your doldrums.
