Shinn Escalator Foil Wing
From £727.20
Shinn Escalator Foil Wing
The all new Shinn Escalator is a low aspect ratio wing designed to deliver a compact feel by keeping the centre of effort around the rider’s hands and enhance manoeuvrability through a reduced wing span. However, rather than using a batten or strut to control the increased trailing edge surface area Shinn turned to the natural tensioning properties of the leading edge. So, reflexing the tips delivers a constant tension in the wing canopy without adding weight where it hurts the most.
The massive low end grunt this wing develops allows the rider to choose a wing one or even two sizes below what you would otherwise use and this makes it perfect for freestyle and jumping if that’s your thing but also ideal for lighter wind cruising as the larger sizes don’t feel big (apart from the feeling of their power delivery!) Jump onto the foil quickly and effortlessly and glide through the lulls with ease.
Available in a huge range of sizes from 3.7m to 8.0m, the 5.5m and above are a light wind dream specialists whilst the smaller models become a freestyler’s dream, popping and spinning with ease.

Tech Specs and Info
- 3-handle configuration with the front and rear becoming elongated and the central one smaller. The elongated handles are both easier to grab in a hurry and allow every rider to find exactly the right spot (the balance of the wing can change with rider style and wing inflation pressure).
- New strut profile better supports the canopy profile extending the useable wing range of the wing and increasing pumping efficiency. Attaching the canopy directly to the rear section of the strut ensures zero deflection from the designed shape.
- With the use of 2 high pressure inflation points, you can differentiate the pressure in the leading edge and strut. 1 PSI more in the strut will improve the wing handling and rigidity especially when jumping. Deflation of the wing is alos much faster – ideal in less than perfect conditions.
- The reflexed wing tips on the Escalator increase the canopy and trailing edge tension whilst in action. The natural pressure of the LE pressure forces the tips outwards applying a constant tensioning to this large area of unsupported material
