The Ypra front wing is the ultimate wing for racing.

The glide of this front wing is a game changer in the wing foiling world. You feel yourself gliding forward without any restraint at crazy speeds. It’s breathtaking. Its very thin thickness, its really thin leading edge, and its ultra high aspect give you all the cards to set the stopwatches buzzing.

Going fast is one thing, all you need is a tiny front wing and to hold on tight. But with the Ypra you go fast for a long time and on all points of sail. The wing is healthy and ultra stable at high speed. Doing speed runs for miles almost goes without breaking a sweat. You fly at 30 knots as you would fly a more classic wing at 22/25 knots.

The very large wingspan stabilizes the wing. So you can really go for it. The ultra-thin profile will immediately hook on at very high speeds, to the point that a ventilation becomes a non-event. It’s almost unnoticeable in your sailing.

You can go for crazy angles upwind: as if you were kite foiling with a foil kite. It’s unprecedented. And it goes so fast!!! We head upwind like we would never have imagined we could with a wing foil. This is totally new territory.

And then we bear off like crazy. The chop flies by, the foil doesn’t flinch, it’s a real high-speed train. Warning: It’s really scary.

For the first time in Wing foiling, the gear is not limiting in racing. We are really calm at high speed, and it’s only up to you to go for light speed!!!
