Lightweight & Ultimate Light Wind Performance
Industry-leading fabrics and construction
When it comes to light wind, size matters. Available in 7 m2, 8 m2, and 9 m2, the DRIVE is a light wind wing with a powerful and compact 3-strut design. It features an industry-leading ALUULA GoldTM and ALUULA AerisTM hybrid frame, making the DRIVE unbelievably light and responsive.
Easy handling and impressive power
When you first hold the DRIVE, you’ll notice it’s light and easy to handle. It feels natural to pump and generates a lot of power when you do. In a breeze, it is well-powered, and on the water, it effortlessly builds speed. The compact design, along with the dihedral arc, ensures the wingtips stay clear of the water while riding, while the high-lift profile positions the power upfront where it is needed. As the wind picks up, the DRIVE stays light in your hands, maintains its shape, and remains stable, allowing you to stay out on the water.
Key features
Designed for light wind
Having 3 struts allows for bigger wings with shorter wingspans, providing more power in a user-friendly design. Ideal for light wind conditions.
Lightweight
The leading edge and the struts feature ALUULA GoldTM and the ultra-light ALUULA AerisTM, keeping the wings weight to a minimum.
Easy handling
The compact design and increased arc angle keep the wingtips from touching the water. Wing foiling with large wing sizes is made easy.
Effortless take off
Whether you prefer pumping or a passive take off, the compact design and high lift profile make it easy to generate speed for take-off. You will fly in a breeze.
Powerful lift and acceleration
The large canopy area makes the wing incredibly powerful, while the profile puts that power upfront where you need it, resulting in fast and powerful acceleration.
Stable in stronger winds
The 2 side struts provide additional stability, and the profile keeps its shape and stays stable in strong winds. No need to rush back to the beach when the wind picks up.
Direct control
The extended front handle provides direct control and allows for one-handed riding.
Comfort and firm grip
The unique, egg-shaped rigid handles ensure a firm and comfortable grip for direct steering and long sessions. The redesigned handles are thinner and lighter, the rounded corner spare your equipment. Ideal for small and large hands.
Clear view
The windows are ideally placed. A good view is even more important with large wings.
Tech features
ALUULA GoldTM
ALUULA GoldTM is incorporated in the leading edge segments where high rigidity is needed. This fabric has been engineered to be extremely light and stiff while also being tear and abrasion resistant. It is treated with an UV-resistant laminate film, ideal for harsh conditions.
ALUULA AerisTM
AerisTM, the lightest of all ALUULA fabrics, boasts the highest strength-to-weight ratio. It features an incredible tear resistance, offering new design opportunities. Used for the strut and wingtips, the frame thus offers ideal rigidity and flex.
High lift profile
The profile has a flatter entry with deeper volume set further back, putting the power upfront for easy acceleration and making the wing feel light in the hands even when well powered.
Ergonomic strut geometry
The strut design allows for ergonomic placement of the handles while having a direct canopy connection. Longer sessions. More control.
ENSIS Click Fix mounting system
The ENSIS Click Fix mounting system allows an ultra-rigid connection to the strut. Several reinforcements in the strut ensure a durable, tearproof attachment of the mounting plates to the strut.
Fast pump and deflate system
The struts automatically inflate using single valve with a wide hose diameter, allowing for rapid inflation. An additional deflate valve on the strut ensures quick deflation for easy and compact packaging.
Soft-Mini-Battens
The new soft-mini-battens save weight and improve the control of the tension on the trailing edge. These mini battens guarantee consistent performance even after hundreds of sessions.
Durable, pack approved windows
The ENSIS windows are made of exclusively tempered film, tested and approved in the cold Swiss winter and in the tropics. It can be packed into a small bag without compromising its performance.
Best quality, precise processing
ENSIS wings are built from the highest quality materials and finished with precision. This ensures an exceptionally robust and durable wing.
