DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Handling and Surf Feel
The TAO is all about a natural surf feel. Its light, balanced design lets you carve precise lines and make sharp turns. You'll feel its great agility from your first session, making every manoeuvre fun without losing speed.
Control and Stability from Pre-Tensioning
The pre-tensioned construction reduces canopy wrinkling and minimises stretch while riding. The result is a smoother profile, increased stability, and consistent performance over time. You maintain intuitive control even when loading the wing through turns.
User Comfort and Ergonomic Handles
The curved, non-slip handles provide a natural, comfortable grip. A neoprene pad under the front handle reduces discomfort and improves your hold, letting you ride for longer without hand fatigue.
Adjustable Stiffness and Easy Setup
Inflating the leading edge and centre strut separately allows you to adjust the wing's stiffness to match the conditions and your riding style. The flexible wingtips help absorb gusts and improve power delivery for smoother, more confident control.
Performance-Driven Design
The swept leading edge and lightweight wingtips boost acceleration and playfulness. The clean, streamlined construction gives it a modern look while maximising aerodynamic efficiency.
All-Round Wind Range Performance
The TAO offers intuitive control across a wide wind range. It generates efficient forward pull, which makes pumping easier and helps you maintain speed when surfing or foiling.
