A rigid profile delivers a stiff and powerful feel, while the compact squat shape allows quick pivoting and great control. Spider web construction – cross-cut seams with tri-radial Kevlar reinforcement – ensures optimal force distribution and fluid flow. Available in 4.2m, 5.2m, 6.2m and 7.2m, each size developed independently. Semi-rigid grips on 5.2, 6.2 and 7.2; soft grips on 4.2. Inflate to 8psi for best performance. Sold with transport bag and quick repair kit. 2-year warranty.

Each wing is supplied complete with a Quality Carry Bag, and Emergency Patch Kit.

Product information

• Rigid profile for a stiff and powerful wing
• Compact, squat shape for quick pivoting
• Semi-rigid grips for 5.2, 6.2 and 7.2 – soft grips for 4.2
• Each wing size developed independently of each other
• Kevlar reinforcement

Which program ?

The WILD was developed for a race program in sizes 7.2, 6.2, 5.2 and race/freestyle for 4.2. It's a sports wing. It is suitable for already capable riders who know how to make their wing and foil work well and are looking for response and power in navigation. 
 
Attention, it does not replace the WILF – The WILD wing program offers experienced riders high level performance and speeds, so make sure that you and your foil(s) are up to releasing your WILD side, if this is your choice.

WILF or WILD?

The two wings are complementary. The WILD is sportier, designed for already capable riders looking for a powerful and fast wing. 
 
The WILF is a more versatile ‘all-terrain’ wing - very efficient and accessible with a compact and stable profile to suite everyone from beginner to pro!.

The use of high quality materials makes sure it stays a rigid wing over time.

How many handles does it have?

The 4.2, 5.2 and 6.2 WILDs have two handles. 

The 7.2 has 3 Handles.

They are flexible for the 4.2 to provide more comfort in freestyle.

They are semi-rigid on the 5.2, 6.2 and 7.2.

Construction

Two types of seams exist in the world of the wings: cross-cut (the panels are sewn horizontally) or tri-radial (start from a point and sew triangular panels). The WILD uses spider web technology which is a cross cut seam with tri-radial Kevlar reinforcement in order to have a better distribution of forces, a better fluid flow and therefore results in a high performance wing.

What's included?

The wing is sold with a nice quality easy load transport bag and its quick repair kit.

A Pump is extra if you need one, but the majority of Pumps on the market which have the standard Bravo/Scoprega 20mm mother fitting or Boston 17 to 18mm taper fitting and a good pressure gauge will be perfect for inflation. 
 
IMPORTANT NOTE:
 
Please note that all WILD’s have printed by the inflation valve ‘Maximum Inflation Pressure 8psi’ 
 
AFS recommend you inflate your WILD to 8psi for best performance, but please pay attention to temperature/radiant energy changes upwards, which (as with all inflated products) could risk the pressure rising to a dangerous level, so if this happens, especially while your wing is on shore, re check you pressure to ensure you do not exceed 8psi.  
 
Conversely a drop in temperature/radiant energy or frequent immersion in water much colder than the air temperature, could easily mean the wing pressure could drop significantly, meaning the wing will underperform and feel ‘soggy’, so in this event, check the pressure and pump it back up to 8psi if required.
 
The key thing is, be aware of these things!
 
Also, never leave your wing unsecured, or resting on sharp or abrasive surfaces, or just sat there baking in the sun! Never fly a wing with damage to Leading Edge/Strut or Canopy, without carrying out even a good temporary repair – small holes are easy to fix, but they can quickly become big ones if you don’t!  
 
All AFS Products carry a 2 year Warranty subject to fair wear and tear, from the date of purchase.
