HIGH PRESSURE LEADING EDGE
Able to run 80 – 100% more leading edge pressure, creating a stiffer structure and ultimately allows for a thinner leading edge.
LOAD FRAME SUPPORTED ANPOY
Utilizing the same Ultra PE primarily fiber as the leading edge and struts, the load frame carries much of the primarily load running through the canopy.
This prevents the canopy cloth from overstretching and losing performance.
This also increases responsiveness by creating a more locked in shaping into the canopy.
THINNER TIPS
Thinner tips reduce the oscillation of the wing when the wing is in neutral.
This makes the NITRO easier to control when the wing is flagged out.
HIGHER TENSION CANOPY
The higher tension leading edge increases tension which improves the stability of the wing, low end-power and responsiveness.
THINNER LEADING EDGE
Reduces the drag on the wing, when the wing is flagged out while riding or down winding.
This is especially important in more offshore wave conditions to help keep the rider on the wave face.
Allows a higher angle of attack when going upwind or traveling at higher speeds.
HIGH-PRESSURE LEADING EDGE AND STRUT
The biggest combined benefit of the Ultra PE is the ability to run higher pressure without sacrificing longevity.
This higher tension leading edge creates a much more responsive frame that can be loaded before jumping, pumps incredibly well and responds quickly to rider input.
BAG
The bag fits both the wing and the pump with ease. It also comes with carrying straps for your convenience.
*The pump is not included
WINDOW & NO WINDOW MODELS
The NITRO is available in both window and no Window versions.
The windowless version offers the lightest weight possible, however, windows may be required for competition.
HOOKIPA
Introducing Hookipa Ultra PE – by Challenge Sailcloth
Developed in conjunction with Challenge Sailcloth, this unique woven composite is the result of exhaustive development and testing, to nd the optimum balance between responsiveness, lightweight and long-term performance.
Traditional Ultra PE materials relied on a high percentage of films, coatings or glues to stabilize the material. The outcome of this was that these materials were strong, but either needed complicated seam constructions, had a limited amount of structural ber (for their given weight) or had inconsistent strength and distribution throughout the fabric.
Ho’okipa Ultra PE takes a reliable woven structure and supercharges the material through the use of Ultra PE instead of traditional polyester fabric.
The high amount of material in the composite that is structural, has allowed us to optimize all areas of the construction resulting in that beautiful blend of responsiveness, lightweight and durability.
Incredibly, the most high-performance fabric we have ever developed, comes with a reduced environmental impact, where Ho’okipa Ultra PE is made up of 48% recycled content by weight.
