A wing with power when needed and a sweet spot so generous it makes hard things easy. Maximum low-end to get you up on the foil earlier. Top-end performance that lets you exploit gusty conditions. Engineered to feel light in your hands, the ... 2023 Nova’s progressive swept outline and refined profile section makes it easy to handle and stable when riding. The wingtip geometry and balanced dihedral prevent oscillation side-to-side when gripping the front handle, riding downwind swell, surfing, or simply walking towards the water. The curvature in the profile section generates more lift in the front of the wing, making transitions smoother, and when combined with improved canopy tensioning, boosts Nova’s low-end power. The stiff, responsive airframe means the canopy stays clean through a wide wind range. We’ve minimised flutter and created a clean trailing-edge release with reduced drag. Then, to ensure the wing remains stable and comfortable in overpowered conditions, we’ve tapered the leading-edge diameter, concentrating the stiffness in the LE centre and allowing the reflexed wingtips to dump excess power. Master of the upwind, glide through tacks, float through gybes, and lofty jumps with bonus hangtime. Whatever goal you’re chasing, the Nova will send you there faster.

Structurally Balanced Freeride Shape

Engineered for stability in gusty winds

Maximum low-end power for instant up and go

the Nova’s progressive swept outline makes it easier to handle and more stable when riding.

Stiffer

For 2023 we’ve refined the profile across the canopy – shifting the maximum profile thickness or draft.

more responsive airframe

To counteract the greater canopy and frame stiffness and to ensure the wing remains stable at the top end

Cleaner canopy and trailing edge tensioning

we’ve tapered the leading edge diameter further to the wing tips.

Revised panel layout

The stiffer

Lighter materials for reduced overall weight

more responsive airframe and tighter skin tensioning mean the canopy stays clean through a wider wind range

New wide angle window positioning

with increased bottom end power.

Intuitive Rigid GripLock Handles

In the rear panels

Dual HyperFlow Inflation Valves

the seams run in the load-bearing direction from wingtip to strut

N-HTRS High Performance Canopy Material

while in the front it runs vertically

Strategic STPU Scuff Protection

helping retain the wing’s true profile shapes.

Comfort and security

We’ve chosen a lighter-weight bladder material

Durable and Lightweight Dacron LE/Strut material

and strategically double-layered this in load-bearing areas

Kevlar Strut Connection

such as the handles

Structurally Balanced Freeride Shape

Less shoulder

Maximum low-end power for instant up and go

more sweep and more aggressive turn-in at the wingtips give the wing its stability. The wingtip geometry and balanced dihedral also prevent oscillation side-to-side when gripping the front handle

surfing

Cleaner canopy and trailing edge tensioning

or simply walking towards the water.

Revised panel layout

The curvature in the profile section helps to generate more lift in the front of the wing and gives the Nova instant up & go. Changing how the air-foil shape/section profile develops across the span of the wing has made the wing smoother to ride and more user-friendly with a generous sweet spot. This means fewer micro-adjustments in your hand positioning and a lighter feel.

Lighter materials for reduced overall weight

How they're tapered makes the LE stiffer in the center and allows the tip to reflex and dump any excess power. The tapered wingtips also reduce the swing weight of the wing and reduces drag from the wingtips. Allowing the tips to bend slightly

New wide angle window positioning

keeps the trailing edge tight. The tension of the trailing edge and overall skin tension gives the wing more low-end power. But then on the high end

Intuitive Rigid GripLock Handles

the ability of the tips to reflex away allows that excess power to bleed off

Dual HyperFlow Inflation Valves

giving the Nova it's bigger wind range.

N-HTRS High Performance Canopy Material

We’ve minimised flutter and created a clean trailing edge release with reduced drag. From front to back and from wing tip to strut

Strategic STPU Scuff Protection

everything's tight.

Comfort and security

The new canopy layout gives more stiffness to the canopy and allows the load to be transferred through the canopy more evenly.
