Description:
The Wing Air DD (Direct Drive) is the latest creation out of the KT
Surfing R&D department. The DD sits alongside the original Wing Air,
featuring hard handles and strengthened construction of the Leading
Edge (LE) and Strut.
With two-ply dacron construction around all high-stress areas of the
LE and strut connections, along with a revised, super durable, positive
lock seaming method on key LE joints, the inflatable frame of the DD is
stiffer and tougher than ever. It is ready to withstand the beatings of
waves, jumps, and high wind winging.
Our new Direct Drive hard handles are lightweight and skinny, with a contoured EVA foam grip for easy handling.
The rigid handles give you the control and Direct Drive of the wing
in all three dimensions, allowing you to increase your pumping power and
efficiency and dial in your power and control zones while riding. We
streamlined our handle system with the increased frame stiffness from
our new construction. We removed the Y-handles connecting the strut to
the LE and the center handle on the strut, saving weight and making
tacks and gybes more crisp and connected, as you always reach for the
same firm Direct Drive handle. The ends of the handle connection are
open, allowing you to easily tie on a harness line should you want to
sail with one, and the elongated balanced handles allow for easy
one-handed winging.
Coming in Fluo Orange from 2.0 m to 6.0 m, the Wing Air DD is the
wing you can trust for your big days and epic downwinders, as well as
light cruising days with friends.
