Wing usage specifications
The Wing 500 is a lightweight WING that is manoeuvrable in waves, with a wonderful flight
It has slender handles enabling excellent grip and secure finger positioning, and which avoids finger spasms with gloves.
Rigid and powerful, it makes take-offs easier.
Its shape makes the wing fly extremely well so that you can forget about it while you ride.
We recommend that you attach your board and wing leashes to a waist belt or chest harness.
Available 3 m2 / 4 m2 / 5 m2 / 6 m2

COMPLIANCE WITH FRENCH REGULATIONS
Current French legislation requires that you mark your contact details on your WING. We recommend you use a strong pharmaceutical-grade adhesive or special sticker for marking your contact details.
If you sail more than 300 metres from land, you must wear a 50 N buoyancy aid or neoprene diving suit with a tracking beacon light with a 6-hour battery life.
We recommend that you always have a knife or line cutter on you.
