Shinn Escalator Wing 2022

Description

Shinn Escalator Wing 2022

Low aspect ratio wings deliver a compact feel by keeping the centre of effort around the rider’s hands and enhance maneuverability through a reduced span however, rather than using a batten or strut to control the increased trailing edge surface area we turned to the natural tensioning properties of the leading edge – reflexing the tips delivers a constant tension in the wing canopy without adding weight where it hurts the most.

The massive low end grunts this wing develops allows the rider to choose a wing one or even 2 sizes below what they would otherwise use – perfect if freestyle and jumping is your thing but also ideal for lighter wind cruising as the larger sizes don’t feel big (apart from in power delivery!) Jump onto the foil quickly and effortlessly and glide through the lulls without care. Available in a huge range of sizes the 5.5m and above are a light wind dream whilst the smaller models become a freestyler’s dream – popping and spinning with ease.

LONG-SHORT-LONG HANDLE CONFIGURATION

We moved to a 3-handle configuration with the central one becoming smaller and the rear elongated. The elongated handles are easier to grab in a hurry and let every rider find the right spot (the wing balance can change with riding style and inflation pressure). The central handle allows for flying the wing one-handed and features attachment points for a harness line.

STRUT PROFILE

New for 2022 profile can better support the canopy increasing pumping efficiency and extending the useable wing range of the wing. Attaching the canopy directly to the rear section of the strut ensures zero deflection from the designed shape.

TWIN POINT INFLATION

2 high pressure inflation points allow for differentiation of the pressure in the leading edge and strut. 1 PSI more in the strut will improve the wing rigidity and handling especially when jumping. Deflation of the wing is also much faster –good in less than perfect climates.

ESCALATOR REFLEXED TIPS

The reflexed wing tipson 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.
