Re: DIY Wing Harness/Leash 2N1...jump and jibe

It’s counter intuitive, I know. A harness is absolutely a relief on the arms, but I think it is much slower. It feels like there is a lot of interference between my body and the flow around the inside of the wing. When I unhook, the wing really powers up and fees so much better…as long as my arms ho...

Has anyone else found the harness to be slower than holding the wing with your hands? I like the relief it provides, but the harness is much slower.

Re: Cabrinha Crosswing X3

Kinda funny that all of the B-roll is of different wings. Nothing of the x3 being used. There is some interesting technology in this wing, but it doesnt get much discussion. The stitch patter on the leading edge is unique and must contribute to the stiffness. Most wing reviews seem focused on modifi...

Re: Wing Harness Line

I agree that it is easy and affordable to make your own. Getting the length right is important, but if you know how to tie a bowline, you'll be all set. Ive actually moved away from using my harness. On my gusty lake it's hard to lock in and manage the constant shifts. It was nice on the mile long t...

Re: Harness for winging

I have the NSI minimalist and really like it. I wish the back pad was larger. When Im hooked in and really pushing, the pressure isnt as widely distributed across my back as I would like. I 100% prefer a waist harness over the wrist and ankle approach.

Re: Tack Development On The Hand Wing

how did you mount the camera on your board? Has the mount ever ripped off on you? worries me a little to put my camera in a high risk place like that, but its a nice view.

Re: North Nova Wing Review

Tucker had a glowing review of the Strike a few weeks ago. This Nova review seems more reserved. Which 6m wing would you choose for fluky winds on an inland lake?

Re: North Nova Wing

Looks pretty hot. So many new options for the summer in North America. Has anyone ridden this one? Any comparisons to the Strike, A-Wing, Wasp V2?

Re: New Wings vs First Generation

There will be huge changes coming. Especially with construction and materials. At the moment there are huge differences between the brands in regards to performance and durability of the wings. What I find interesting is that some gen 1 wings are actually performing better than most Gen 2 or 3 wing...
