WI SURF PROGRAM: PURE RACE
FIREWING MK6
The new Firewing has seen a complete overhaul. A subtle increase in the luff tube width and the additional of a 4th cam, now make the Firewing fully race competitive straight out the bag. A change to vertical seam shaping has meant we could increase the foil depth, whilst at the same time keeping that foil locked forward where it is controllable. This not only added power, but more importantly increased the stability of the sail and allowed us to increase the boom length for more drive. The leech has been opened in the mid section, whilst keeping it relatively tight through the top, which helps to keep the board pinned to the water for control, whilst the sail still releases. The Firewing offers huge top end top blitz down the reaches, low end drive to pull you out of gybe marks and all of this in a soft and easy to use package that will see you standing tall on the podium, or smashing your GPS records.
