The PURE MIX between the low range of the Wave 1200 and the maneuverability of the Wave 700
After the fabulous success of the Wave 1200 and the Wave 700, here is the Wave 950!
The range of use of the Wave 1200 is one of the reasons for its success. Ability to take off and maintain flight at extremely low speeds, while being able to accelerate without ever feeling overloaded or in difficulty
the softness and progressiveness of the Wave 1200 has won over all generations of riders aged 7 to 77. It allowed all generations of riders to start and progress without any limits
One of the keys to the success of this Wave 1200 is its combined shape has its wing profile from our experience that allows to push back the high beach while maintaining a fantastic low beach.
This profile has a particular characteristic which we cannot talk about, but which has importance, is the width of the centre of thrust.
Indeed, on the Wave 1200, the width of this push center is 12 cm, to give you a reference, on an XLP wing, as on many kitefoil wings, this push center width is about 1.5 cm.
Concretely, what does this mean?
It is quite simple, if the pilot advances his foot 1.5 cm or moves it further, the foil goes up or down immediately.
Originally, the Wave 1200 was designed for a practical strapless for experienced riders in order to forgive them any support mistakes.
Very quickly, we realized that this feature was finally the best friend of beginners in kitefoil as well as insiders. The Wave 1200 has quickly become the ideal wing everywhere
But to be satisfied with the existing is not the philosophy of Alpinefoil and it seemed interesting to push even further the concept of these Wave Wings.
You will then tell me after the Wave 700, and the Wave 1200, why a Wave 950??
Well, here’s the reason:
The Wave 700 is a fabulous carving wing, it is a wing that I like very much, it is fast, incisive and super handy.
Unfortunately it has some small flaws, it needs to keep a good speed in the maneuvers and lacks a little heading for a practice Cruising. This need for speed is sometimes troublesome in waves, as it does not slow down enough to be pushed by the swell or wave.
The Wave 1200 has a fabulous low range, you can turn around on the spot at very low speed without going down, it is super stable and accessible, it has a good speed, but in my opinion when we tasted a Wave 700 it lacks maneuverability, reactivity and a bit of sliding.
It had been a while since I had this project in mind, to design a wing that would take these concepts and take the best of both to try to make it the almost perfect kitefoil wing.
Today I am super happy to present you this Wave 950, the Wave 950 is not a homothetie of a Wave 1200, but a new outline and a hydrodynamic profile still reworked.
The result is:
A wing that has almost the same low range as the Wave 1200, with uncompressed maneuverability, a similar accessibility to the Wave 1200, but with an even greater speed range.
the optimization of the shape has allowed to have a width of center of push that has hardly varied, we are on 11.5 cm of width of center of push is only 0.5 cm less than the 1200.
This Wave 950, mounted on a Rave Air and a Pocket, in my opinion an explosive cocktail of sensation, versatility and accessibility.
