AFS Ultra Front Wing
High aspect ratio front wing developed for modern downwind and high-performance freeflying, with a focus on great glide, steering precision and energy efficiency.
The Ultra range (600 / 750 / 900) is designed to maintain a high average speed with smooth and energy-efficient pumping, allowing you to connect bump after bump with minimal effort.
Strengths
- Optimized profile for ultra-efficient pumping: less explosive but very fluid, ideal for connecting bumps with little energy.
- Exceptional glide with high average speed, essential in modern downwind.
- Tubercles on the leading edge for a more progressive stall and better ability to “hook” bumps even in rough seas.
- Mini winglets at the tips stabilize the flow, reduce vortices and increase directional stability.
- Ideal platform in combo with U Glide stabilizer for an ultra smooth downwind set-up.
Ultra 600
| Surface area (cm²) | Wingspan (mm) | Aspect Ratio | Max rope (mm) | Max thickness (mm) | Construction |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 600 | 980 | 16 | 84 | 10.8 | UHM & HM Carbon |
Ultra 750
| Surface area (cm²) | Wingspan (mm) | Aspect Ratio | Max rope (mm) | Max thickness (mm) | Construction |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 750 | — | — | — | — | UHM & HM Carbon |
Ultra 900
| Surface area (cm²) | Wingspan (mm) | Aspect Ratio | Max rope (mm) | Max thickness (mm) | Construction |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 900 | — | — | — | — | UHM & HM Carbon |
The UHM & HM Carbon structure guarantees maximum rigidity and reactivity while maintaining a low weight, essential for downwind and long-distance foiling.
Size guide – choosing the size
The choice between Ultra 600, 750 and 900 depends on the rider's weight, technical level and type of conditions (sea energy, wind, distance of the routes).
| Model | Rider profile / recommended use |
|---|---|
| Ultra 600 | Lightweight or very experienced riders, downwind and freefly in high-energy conditions; maximum average speed and a sharper feel. |
| Ultra 750 | All-round choice in the Ultra range for modern downwind: excellent glide, stability and medium speed for average riders in variable conditions. |
| Ultra 900 | Heavier riders or lower energy conditions (small bumps, marginal wind), when more lift is needed while maintaining efficiency and smoothness. |
Combined with the U Glide stabilizer, the Ultra range creates a set up designed for long courses, easy bump connections and high average speeds with minimal pumping.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the Ultra Front Wing intended for?
It is intended for advanced intermediate and expert riders who mainly practice downwind and freefly, and who are looking for a fast, precise and very energy efficient foil.
What do the bumps on the leading edge do?
The tubercles make the stall more progressive and help the kite to better “hook” the bumps even when the sea is rough, making it easier to stay connected to the wave's energy.
What are the mini winglets on the tips for?
Mini winglets stabilize air/water flow, reduce wingtip vortices and increase directional stability, improving glide cleanliness.
What type of pumping does it require?
The Ultra is designed for smooth, low-energy pumping, not explosive: the goal is to maintain high average speed with minimal effort, connecting bumps naturally.
Which size do I choose as my only Ultra wing?
If you're a medium-weight rider looking for a single Ultra for downwind and freeflying, the 750 is generally the best compromise; choose the 600 if you're lightweight and very experienced, and the 900 if you're heavier or often ride with little energy.
