MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE
AER
AER WING
There are a lot of wing designs out there, but every so often a new one comes along that changes the status quo and makes people say, Finally..
What started out as a project to see just how much weight we could reduce to create a simple wing, ended up with a product that blew our teams minds. A wing that is as light as others made out of specific light weight materials, and something that is easy to also pack down really small, this quickly became the go to wing for many of our team, especially for people looking at winging upwind, packing down and SUP downwinding back.
But why not stop there. Many of the attributes that make this such a fun and versatile wing for every day uses also made us realize there is a potential to get a whole new demographic into the sport in the form of children. This light weight wing gives children the product they need to not only get in the sport but also to progress, the biggest challenge will be trying to keep it out of their parents hands on the windy days.

Key Features
AER HIGH DIHEDRAL
The AER has a high amount of Dihedral which helps greatly in upwind stability and reactive handling.
FULL AIRFOIL
The full centre section airfoil increases the low end power helping you get up and going with minimal effort.
NOT A TOY
The small sizes have been designed specifically for not only smaller riders, but to also be used by larger riders in higher winds.
CONVEX STRUT
The Convex support strut on the Mantis V3 provides a stiffer and more reactive connection between the rider and wing.
20/20 VISION
A refined window layout, running parallel alongside the strut, made from weather resistant TPU provides increased visibility when riding.
TIP TWIST
Progressive tip twist as the sizing increases in the Vision range helps keep sheeting relative and responsive no matter what size wing you ride.
NANO RIPSTOP
Nano Ripstop is a 55 g/m2 material with a 3mm double rip stop pattern. This micro rip stop material in unison with a newly developed coating, has given us a 2X increase in the canopy’s tear strength. A smaller rip stop pattern increases the amount of “cells” in any given panel.
FEATHER WEIGHT HANDLES
These lightweight handles help reduce the weight of the wing, but also help when packing down for downwinders.
DUAL AIRLOCK
Two airlock valves give you the ability to customize your LE to strut pressure based on the size of wing you are using.
TE LOAD DISTRIBUTOR
TE load distributor increases wing durability while robustly helps distribute wing tension throughout the Trailing Edge. The abrasive material stops scuffing while the wing rests on land.
