Features

• More Forward Pull and Increased Speed
• Extra Stiff Structure for Control and Stability
• Super All-Round Performance

NEW SHORT CENTER STRUT AND MORE SQUARED LEADING EDGE
The compact center strut and more squared leading edge create a direct balance, pulling you forward.
Manouvers are easier as all the tips are further away from the water. (Main changes on size 6, 7 and 8)

NEW BIG DIAMETER CENTER STRUT CONNECTION
Creates an even more solid connection between the center strut and the leading edge, keeping the wing from bending sideways.
Pumping becomes more efficient, improving acceleration and your high-end power/speed. All just easier.

NEW OPTIMIZED FORWARD WINDOWS
The unique long and narrow forward windows are spreading all the way down, ensuring full visibility for where you want to fly.

NEW MINI AFT WINDOWS
The mini aft windows above the center strut give you an essential glimpse of what's behind you in a jibe.
All windows are carefully positioned for max viewing in critical situations and with minimal weight/stretch.
(Only available on size 6, 7 and 8)

NEW REFINED WINGTIPS
The FreeWing AIR V1 wingtips were already industry-leading. Now sizes 6, 7 and 8 are even easier for you to get out of the water when starting and during fun manouvers, as they have more inwards angle, avoiding water surface contact.

THICK, SOFT AND WIDE SPANNING HANDLES
For micro trimming at speed.

ANGLED HANDLES
Angled handles for convenience getting started and to perform jibes and maneuvers.

KEVLAR REINFORCEMENT
IN THE MOST CRITICAL AREA
The Kevlar, found in a bulletproof vest, is put in the most critical area to protect the FreeWing from wearing while minimizing weight.

NEW SIZE SPECIFIC LEASHES
Each leash is matching the strut's length when stretched so, you will not get tangled if you fall down, yet always shrink back to have a leash that is as short as possible.

HARNESS LINE ATTACHMENT POINTS
The harness lines reduce fatigue in the arms, allowing you to ride for longer periods.

CENTRAL STRUT AIR VALVE
ON LARGER SIZE 5 AND ABOVE
For you to deflate the larger wings faster and easier.

HOSE CLAMP
ANOTHER INNOVATION FOR YOUR SAFETY
The hose clamp is used to isolate the air pressure in the central strut and leading edge. In the event of leaking bladder, the clamp ensures that some air remains in the wing.

OPEN THE HOSE CLAMP WHEN INFLATING / DEFLATING:
To open the hose clamp, push on the lever to allow the clamp to open.

CLOSE THE HOSE CLAMP DURING WING SESSION:
To close the hose clamp, squeeze the clamp together while feeling the teeth ratchet until clamp feels tight.

SVEIN RASMUSSEN
STARBOARD CHIEF INNOVATOR
"The FreeWing Air development started back in 2012 at our Airush development center in Cape Town. In 2015 we decided to put the development on ice as we felt that a windsurfing rig was still functioning better. Then came SUP foiling, changing the game and now we are rolling out our FreeWing program, including industry-leading 4'6" x 25" boards to amazingly well-performing 7 meter wings. Its been loads of fun for our group's brands to develop products together and when Airush launched the first kites back some 19 years ago, it was under the Airush / Starboard alliance name.

"Our workshop is 15 meters away from our lake in Thailand, so our days and evenings are filled with Wingboarding and pump foil testing.

"We look forward to taking the sport we almost invented to the next level, the same way we have helped Windsurfing and Paddleboarding become easy sports to learn, and providing game-changing high-end performance year after year. After being in the water for over 40 years, the 3 things I am super passionate about exploring are Wingboarding, the rebuilding of Junior Windsurfing, and supporting our own Olympic iQFoil class, but the most fun is developing Wing gear."

CLINTON FILEN
AIRUSH DESIGN DIRECTOR
"One of the more visible changes are the optimised windows, we were able to reduce the window size by up to 50% and really fine tune the positioning, the outcome is a great compromise between reducing weight while maintaining excellent visibility.

"From a structural side, we increased diameter of the center strut connection to enhance the high-end stability of the wing. This is an area we have already had a lot positive feedback on, but we wanted to further to further improve higher wind and jumping performance, along with general responsiveness.

"We did a lot of refinement in the larger sizes, going to a shorter center cord and more vertical LE this works with the refined wingtips to keep the larger sizes more manageable.

"There have also been key changes to the components such as reduced length leashes optimized for each size and a much larger bag that is easier to pack and can also include your pump."
