The 2023 Nova wing is designed for maximum performance and ease of use. It features a generous sweet spot and powerful low-end for easy foiling, while still providing top-end performance for gusty conditions. The wing's progressive swept outline and refined profile section make it easy to handle and stable while riding, with even front and back arm pressure. The wingtip geometry and balanced dihedral prevent side-to-side oscillation, whether you're gripping the front handle, riding downwind swell, surfing, or walking towards the water.
The wing's profile section has a new draft-forward curvature that generates more lift in the front, making transitions smoother and more effortless. Combined with improved canopy tensioning, this also boosts the wing's low-end power. The airframe is stiffer and more responsive, reducing flutter and drag. The tapered leading-edge diameter concentrates stiffness in the center and allows the wingtips to dump excess power for stability and comfort in overpowered conditions.
The Nova is versatile and can help you achieve your goals faster. It excels in upwind sailing, glide through tacks, float through gybes, and lofty jumps with bonus hangtime. With the 2023 Nova, you'll experience a new level of performance and ease of use.
