Sky Jibe 6.5 - Wing foil wing - Dacron®

Considered a large wing used for lighter wind days or by heavier riders 85kg and over for moderate winds, this size wing is more typically used in winds from approximately 9 to 12 knots for riders under 80kg and for heavier riders up to 20 knots.

The application of radial panels that extend from the rear of the fuselage strut significantly enhances the canopy's structural integrity. These panels align with the stress and tension of wind pressure on the structure, resulting in several key benefits.

The radial panel design strengthens the overall framework, providing greater durability and stability under various wind conditions. The enhanced structure ensures that the wing maintains a more uniform shape, which is crucial for performance. This consistency is particularly important for both novice users and those performing advanced manoeuvres.

With the wing maintaining a consistent shape, the power band - the power output range - is more reliable. This translates to smoother and more predictable performance. The combination of structural robustness and consistent wing shape instils greater user confidence. Learners benefit from the wing's forgiving nature, while advanced users can trust it to perform reliably during complex manoeuvres.

The panel design ensures smoother handling by limiting the canopy's de-powering effects during landings, pumping, and wind gusts. This makes the wing adaptable to various wind strengths, enhancing the user experience.

The Sky Jibe wing's design incorporates several advanced features to enhance the rider's experience and performance across various conditions.

Dual moulded control handles provide superior control and sensitivity, allowing the rider to make precise adjustments. This is particularly beneficial in challenging conditions, whether engaging in freestyle, wave riding, or freeriding. The ability to finely tune the wing to manage air flow is crucial for maintaining or reducing power.

The canopy is constructed from Super Lightweight Dacron® Polyester Spinnaker Cloth material, known for its lightweight, hydrophobic, and UV-resistant properties. These characteristics ensure durability and longevity, keeping the wing in optimal condition over extended use. The inflatable leading edge and fuselage strut are made from Heavy-Duty 175g Dacron®, providing excellent tear and abrasion resistance. This enhances the durability of the wing's critical areas, ensuring they can withstand rigorous use.

Equipped with two valves; one on the leading edge and another on the fuselage—this system facilitates easier and more efficient inflation and deflation. It also adds a level of safety, ensuring that air pressure is maintained appropriately in both sections.

Including a wrist leash ensures the wing remains securely connected to the rider, preventing loss during use. For convenience, the Sky Jibe wing has a lightweight backpack, making storage and transportation easy and hassle-free. These features elevate the rider experience by providing enhanced control, durability, safety, and convenience, making the Sky Jibe wing a versatile and reliable choice for various riding styles and conditions.
