“The Nova is a fun, versatile wing that works great in lots of conditions; the light boom makes riding easy and enjoyable”
Francesca Maini, 2024 Queen of the Air
Technology and construction
- UDi Carbon: carbon tapes inside the entire leading edge: a stiffer, more reactive frame.
- Neutral lift: profile position and depth for minimal hand adjustments and effortless transitions.
- Stable when flagged: the tips generate less lift and the wing swings less when surfing or walking.
- N-X6 trailing edge: light, strong panels that reduce flutter; in 2025 they extend further up the tips.
- N-HTRS and Dacron construction: high-tenacity canopy with Dacron leading edge and strut: a balance of weight and strength.
- Kevlar joint: a layer of biaxial Kevlar that reinforces the XL-T joint between the strut and the leading edge.
