The Rid'Air team's opinion: "The ultimate for serene freeride progression"

FLOW - DO IT ALL

Our goal was to create a wing with a greater sense of control to help riders accelerate their progression. From tacking to gybing, jumping or wave riding, the Flow is designed to give you everything you need.

            - Versatile freeride wing
            - Stiff carbon handles
            - New longer front handle for one-handed control
            - Ideal for wave riding with a compact span
            - Speed and lift for jumps
            - New semi-rigid depower/surf handle for excellent flagging control.
            - Light handling
            - High build quality

THE FLOW STATE...

Positioned between the Fly (entry-level and intermediate freeride / wave riding) and the Flux (high-end freeride, full-speed performance), the Flow is a brand new wing in the range.

When it comes to improving fluidity and ease of riding, the carbon front handle offers the advantages of a boom, such as flying the wing with one hand and easy hand placement, while being compact and not needing to be removed after the session.

Although it replaces the WASP in the range, the Flow is an entirely different concept, based on the handling advantages programmed into the Flux's DNA. The Flow, however, has less span and a lower aspect ratio than the Flux, offering more low-end power and easier handling.

The durable and scuff-resistant cell offers clean aerodynamic performance, but it's also designed for the kind of beach handling that intermediates put a wing through.

The Flow is a complete model, and when you're ready to ride faster, harder, and longer with less arm fatigue in stronger conditions, a harness line can be attached around the stiff handles or the tube to customize rider preferences (sold separately).

WHAT YOU FEEL

    - Control and comfort, even during long sessions
    - Excellent control during tacks and gybes.
    - Adaptability to different wave conditions
    - Better control when flagging out
    - Direct handling response
    - Wide power range
    - Speed and lift for jumps

WHY YOU FEEL IT

    - Reduced span and lower aspect ratio offer accessible performance across the board.
    - Stiff carbon fiber handles covered with EVA for direct control and great comfort.
    - Semi-rigid handle for launch and surfing.
    - Stiff cell for direct performance response
    - Cross-width seam orientation distributes loads throughout the canopy, reducing deformation.
    - Expert stitching and material placement ensure lightweight performance with integrated strength.

PROGRESSION

The Flow is responsive, lightweight, and easy to use. It delivers progressive power with good low-end torque to get you up on the foil, but it also has the range to handle stronger winds and higher speeds without losing control. Highly maneuverable yet incredibly stable overhead, tacks and gybes are made easier by passing the wing from one hand to the other, giving you time to relax and execute the maneuver.

The extended front handle allows for balanced one-handed flying, opening the door to all sorts of expressive flatwater carving maneuvers. Instead of riding with a locked two-handed stance, you can maintain power and control while holding the wing to the side with one hand, offering a feeling of fluidity and freedom.
