Patented compact design provides maximum power with impressive maneuverability.

Smaller wingspan provides efficient pumping and maintains the wingtips away from the surface of the water.

A small diameter center strut allows these large surfaces to keep a record weight.

Its perfect balance facilitates the creation of apparent wind, while increasing its high end capacities.

New HITEX and NANO for increased durability.

For this STRIKE CWC V3, the R&D team has worked on three areas: the materials, the placement of these materials and the design to improve performance and durability.

The two central segments of the leading edge on each side of the strut are made of HITEX 178g, bringing strength and therefore performance. The central strut and the remaining segments of the leading edge are made of HITEX 158g, bringing comfort. Both materials are perfectly distributed to account for the different tensions, high pressures, and weight distribution in this area.

The entire canopy of the wing is made of our new NANO fabric, an innovative micro ripstop polyester in 55g. It benefits from a NANO coating and a Plasma treatment process that brings an increased rigidity, resistance to elongation and tears, and durability.

The front of the wing combines horizontal panels separated by a vertical seam from the innovative radial center panels, which are mapped to accurately follow every load trajectory.

The trailing edge is controlled by a vertical panel. Small radial cuts are also implemented on the wingtips and on the back of the strut to spread tensions. Aligning the fibre exactly along the load paths means that stretch can be controlled to a never-before-seen level on a wing.

New Load Diffuser

Located on the back of the strut, our innovative Load Diffuser made of overlapping panels of hard Mylar and Dacron further helps maintaining the profile sleek and efficient, leading to the ultimate stability, performances, and longevity.

Rigidified Handles

The handles have been rigidified while keeping their original, lighter construction that doesn’t include any hard parts. These grippy, ergonomic and comfortable handles allow for some flexibility, so your wrist is always in line with your arm.

Two independent inflation valves

The CWC V3 features two highly efficient inflation valves: one on the central strut and one on the leading edge. These two areas of the wing face different forces, and thus require two different pressure recommendations. As a result, the central strut is thinner in diameter and gains in rigidity thanks to its independent valve that allows for a better control of its pressure.

New size: 9 m²

The STRIKE CWC V3 is available in four sizes, ranging from 6 to 9 m². With this design perfectly adapted to bigger surfaces, we have added the 9 m² to the range this year. This size will allow riders of a bigger stature to make the most out of their light wind sessions.

Light wind riding has never been so effective. Our Compact Wing Concept (CWC) patent and the two extra struts increase the wing’s surface without expanding the leading edge’s length and diameter nor compromising lightness and performances.

This specific geometry brings great power with ease of use and therefore a light feel with less wingspan. The compact outline makes it easy to obtain an incredible start when planing and pumping. Highly maneuverable, this wing lets you ride effortlessly with wingtips that always stay away from the surface of the water.

Finally, the already impressive high range of the CWC has been improved so you can absorb the gusts if the wind picks up.
