This ultra-responsive, lightweight and super durable wing delivers instant, smooth power for wingsurfing and wingfoiling. This is one of, if not the lightest wings on the market!

The FreeWing Nitro is mind-bogglingly better, but why?
Airush have combined over 20 years of kite and wing design experience with tomorrow’s technology, to create the new Airush Nitro Wing. The unique ideology on composite materials means Airush have spent years chasing responsiveness, light-weight and durability in a single product and the Nitro is the best example of this yet.
The key to the Nitro Wing is ultra PE frame space (read more about HOOKIPA below) which combines an absolutely cutting-edge Ultra PE high-pressure leading edge and strut with Airush’s proven Ultra PE load frame.
Featuring “Hookipa Ultra PE” made by Challenge Sailcloth.Used on the Freewing Nitros leading edge and strut, understanding this canopy material is key to understanding why the Nitro is SO much further ahead than normal wings.
Developed in conjunction with Challenge Sailcloth, this unique woven composite is the result of exhaustive development and testing, to find the optimum balance between responsiveness, lightweight and long-term performance.
Traditional Ultra PE materials relied on a high percentage of films, coatings or glues to stabilize the material. The outcome of this was that these materials were strong, but either needed complicated seam constructions, had a limited amount of structural fibre (for their given weight), or had inconsistent strength and distribution throughout the fabric.
Hookipa Ultra PE takes a reliable woven structure and supercharges the material through the use of Ultra PE instead of traditional polyester fabric. The high amount of material in the composite that is structural, has allowed Airush to optimise all areas of the construction resulting in a fantastic blend of responsiveness, light weight and durability. Incredibly, the most high-performance fabric Airush have ever used comes with a reduced environmental impact, where Hookipa Ultra PE is made up of 48% recycled content by weight.

The Airush NITRO, uses higher inflation pressures. The use of a higher inflation pressure places a higher tension on the canopy fabric and you feel that immediately. This does not stop at the strut and leading edge but is integrated into the canopy through the Ultra PE load frame.

Understanding Ultra PE
- Ultra PE Fibre is a super-strong ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMwPE) fiber that offers maximum strength with minimum weight.
- Ultra PE has extremely long molecular chains that transfer load more effectively. So it‘s stronger at the same weight or lighter at the same strength than alternatives. In a direct comparison to polyester it is up to 32x Stronger
- Ultra PE fibre is 15x stronger than steel at the same weight and 2x lighter than Carbon Fibre
- As well as its extraordinary strength, Ultra PE excels in cut and abrasion resistance and has a high resistance to UV
- Ultra PE fibre is so light that it floats on water
- Stiff does not mean fragile, Ultra PE is also very highly ductile – It can absorb a lot of energy before it reaches breaking point. In testing the material stresses of hard use and crash testing were found to be no more than 20% of the materials strength capability.
Technology
Ultra PE Load Frame
This technology continues into the canopy where Ultra-high, modulus yarns carry the primary load of the canopy, preventing stretch and increasing long-term performance. This enables us to minimize or completely remove the heavier fabric and utilise ballistic high-modulus web fibres instead, thus increasing strength and minimising weight. These yarns are integrated through reinforced taping that allows them to elongate under extreme load, absorbing most of the forces that would occur under shock loading.
• Ultra-Responsive, high pressure leading edge and strut.
• Load Frame stabilises and support high tension canopy.
• 30% Lighter than aa traditional wing with greater stability.

HIGH PRESSURE LEADING EDGE
Being able to run 30 – 40% more leading edge pressure this creates a stiffer structure and ultimately allows for a narrower/thinner leading edge.
LOAD FRAME SUPPORTED CANOPY
Utilizing the same Ultra PE primarily Fibre as the Leading edge and Struts, the load frame carries much of the primarily load running through the canopy. This prevents the canopy from over stretching and losing performance. This also increases responsiveness by creating a more “locked in” shape to the canopy.
THINNER LEADING EDGE
Reduces the drag on the wing, when the wing is flagged out while riding or down winding. This is especially important in more offshore wave conditions to help keep the rider on the wave face.
• Allows a higher angle of attack when going up wind or travelling at higher speed.
REDUCED WEIGHT
The Hookipa Ultra PE fabric is 25% lighter than traditional Dacron leading edge materials.
The reduction in leading edge diameter and optimised detailing result in an overall weight saving of up to 30%.
HIGH TENSION CANOPY
The higher tension leading edge increases tension which improves the stability of the wing, giving early planning and more responsiveness.
THINNER WING TIPS
Thinner tips reduce any oscillation in the wing when the wing is in neutral. This makes the NITRO easier to control when the wing is flagged out.
HIGH PRESSURE LE AND STRUT
The biggest combined benefits of the Ultra PE is the ability to run higher pressure without sacrificing longevity. This higher tension leading edge creates a much more responsive frame that can be loaded before jumping, pumps incredibly well and responds quickly to rider input.
