Airush wind wing review
Posted: Thu Jun 18, 2020 4:58 pm
Got on the 6 meter airush wing a few days ago. Very fun wing. Here's my random notes on it. A bit over done on the handles and the windows are big but I never use them. You need to know how to do origami to get it back in the bag, so I put it in a solo 15.5 bag. The lift is more in the tail of the wing so it floats well but if in a wave and the wing is low, the tail will drop down. This lift in the tail allows for more up wind ability and pushes you into foil easily.
Wing tips don't touch water. I even tried to catch water and it's hard to which makes doing 360's difficult. Leash is long with swivel.
Easy to flip over from a wing tip but, doesn't flip over on its own. I think I didn't have to flip it over the whole time I was on it.
More rear hand pressure than the F1, longer reach if wanted
Not as good for tacks cause you need to keep speed in the foil and the wing isn't keeping lift, also goes for 360's as the tips are hard to catch water. Really good up wind.
For my style I rank the F1 as the best for me but I really like what the airush offers and it would be my #2 choice. I ordered a 4,5, and 7, I really think my students will benefit from this wing. I think if you like the naish S25 or the WASP, you're going to love this wing. I hope they make a windowless version in the future. Also the valve doesn't let you know how much pressure is in the wing.
