Cabrinha AER Wing

Although there are many wing designs available, occasionally a new one is introduced that upends the existing quo and causes people to exclaim, "At last." 

Our team was blown away by the final product, which began as an experiment to explore how much weight we could remove to construct a simple wing.   This wing swiftly became the preferred option for many members of our crew, particularly those who were considering winging upwind, packing down, and SUP downwinding back. It is as light as others, built of particular lightweight materials, and is also very easy to pack down very small.

But why not stop there.  Numerous qualities that make this wing so enjoyable and adaptable for daily usage also led us to recognize that there is a chance to introduce children as a whole new demographic to the sport.  The toughest issue will be keeping it out of their parents' hands on windy days, but this lightweight wing gives them the tool they need to advance in the sport.

NANO RIPSTOP

Nano Ripstop is a 3mm double rip stop pattern and weighs 55 g/m2.  Together with a recently created coating, this tiny rip stop material has allowed us to double the canopy's tear strength.  There are more "cells" in a panel with a smaller rip stop design.

FEATHER WEIGHT HANDLES

In addition to lowering the wing's weight, these lightweight handles aid downwinders in packing down.

DUAL AIRLOCK

Depending on the amount of wing you are using, you can adjust the LE's strut pressure using two airlock valves.

TE LOAD DISTRIBUTOR

The TE load distributor helps evenly transfer wing strain across the Trailing Edge and improves wing durability.  While the wing is on the ground, the abrasive substance ceases to scratch.
