The Fusion brings a new realm of wingfoiling… opening up new freedom to ride smaller foils as it naturally delivers far higher flying speeds to solid riders, also allowing them to rip along at previously impossible angles up and downwind. Not to mention the dynamic jump and flight potential.
We hope you are as excited to read about it as the team were to develop it, because this full double surface design with ram-air technology is an industry first! As you’ll see below, we expect it to shake the industry awake when people see there’s now a new realm of performance on offer for solid riders!
This is a new era of performance and we expect to see the Fusion in your demo kit and being talked about on your beach. Become one of the first movers to have one and enjoy the energy of this new direction.
The background: Five years ago, we launched the FUSION project, with the goal to combine our manufacturing expertise with our knowledge of foil kite, inflatable kite, paraglider and wingsuit design.
Our efforts for this project centred around optimal aerofoil design, leading us to the efficient but difficult to achieve, double surface design.
Through innovative construction techniques and the “ram air” principles integral to wingsuits, we’ve achieved a design that presents the wing and kite sector with a revolutionary perspective.
Fusion has been achieved! The new FUSION freeride wing marks a paradigm shift in performance.
Tailored to riders seeking higher speeds, dynamic jump and flight potential along with previously impossible angles up and downwind
CUTTING EDGE PERFORMANCE: 100% DOUBLE SURFACE RAM AIR TECHNOLOGY INTERNAL RIBS
|
The Fusion wing is designed around the high-performance planform of the Flux, including the pre-loaded leading edge, which is made with a lightweight, stiff performance dacron and experiences drastically less deformation in strong conditions.
The Fusion’s 100% double surface ram air design creates an enclosed high pressure space between the entire upper and lower surfaces. The internal rib structure supports both sail layers and helps the wing smoothly deal with dynamic pressure differentials when the wing’s angle-of-attack changes. |
WHAT IS THE BIG ADVANTAGE OF THE DOUBLE SURFACE DESIGN?
|
A dramatic reduction in drag…
When the air travels over a wing it splits at the stagnation point on the leading edge. While the air that runs along the top surface has a clean and continuous surface to follow, the airflow on the bottom of a single surface wing creates vortices behind the leading edge. This turbulent underside flow creates drag which reduces performance. |
A hot knife through butter…
The Fusion’s design has unlocked enormous performance potential. Producing more lift, while reducing drag, means performance gains have moved in bigger steps and these improvements are revealed in far more areas than just locked-in, straight line speed.
All performance areas are improved by the fact that the ride is incredibly smooth and predictable. The double surface absorbs gusty winds with unrecognisable ease and the wing generates so much more power with less need to sheet in hard. The double surface is less susceptible to luffing, so you can hold more wind and power than a single surface design while riding closer to the wind, which means you can go faster with incredible control.
On the water, you can feel truly free on the Fusion. Explore greater distances in less time while taking corners faster and tighter than you’ve ever experienced.
