This pressure reduces the negative flex of the wing which reduces the panel to collapse. We recommend that you inflate all our wings to 8 PSI. This reduces the chance of a leading-edge blow out as the seams are supported with enough material not to damage the textile. The Osprey also enjoys a specific leading-edge construction which takes the specific textile expansion and stresses of a wing into consideration. This increases the durability and supports the geometry of the wing. The inside of the seam is reinforced a UHMWPE yarn. The seam is placed on the apex of the leading edge fairing out towards the tips. The Osprey enjoys a new split strut construction. The leading edge diameter is adjusted per segment and per size to a specific diameter. This stability comes to the forefront when flagging the wing and is a crucial control factor. The V-shape is relatively reduced in the first two segments to give better tension which then gets smoothed out to the sides, making the wing agile and stable. The result is a combination of tension and variable angles across the leading edge allowing to construct a stable profile in all wind conditions. The development team has spent a large amount of time on the geometry of the leading edge and the canopy. This results in a much tighter canopy profile. The Dihedral angle has been further refined to give a better airflow and canopy tension. A handle on the leading edge offers easy handling if the wing becomes inverted, or for holding the wing in a wind neutral position. Harness loops have been incorporated on the handles for those wishing to use a harness. The Handles are carefully placed and sized for easy transitions. The handles themselves are built out of a UHMWPE cover with soft internal cushioning. The positioning of the handles was carefully studied to pinpoint the perfect position. The multiple handles offer intuitive hand placement on any tack. The medium aspect ratio and rounded wingtips keep the wing out of the water and in the air, while giving a light flying sensation. This has been achieved by finely tuning the leading edge diameter specifically for each size. The rapid lift and acceleration lifts you up onto the foil sooner. As a result the power delivery is excellent when pumping with the Wing. The Osprey has a stiff frame providing a stable platform. The key focus with the Osprey is to have a Wing that is easy to handle to excel in downwinds and waves riding. The sometimes harsh Atlantic Ocean provides a perfect testing ground to put our experience and know-how to the test, delivering the perfect product to you.
