Neil Pryde Firefly
Whereas Freestyle Takes Flight
Freewave Introducing the FireFly – the next generation of our versatile freestyle and surf wing, now enhanced with cutting-edge materials and design improvements inspired by our most advanced models. Building on the success of the original FireFly, this updated version delivers even better performance, durability, and ease of use, making it a must-have for both seasoned riders and newcomers to the sport.
What’s New?
- Advanced Canopy Material: The FireFly features a new, high-performance canopy material that enhances both speed and upwind performance. This material upgrade ensures that you can push the limits without compromising on low-end power or control, giving you the confidence to tackle any conditions.
- Refined Panel Layout: Drawing on insights from the FireFly Pro, the performance model in the FireFly range, we‘ve implemented a new panel layout that optimizes the wing’s structure and aerodynamics. This refinement results in a wing that’s not only faster and more efficient but also more durable, providing long-lasting performance session after session.
- Carbon Mono Handle: The FireFly retains its lightweight and durable carbon mono handle, which combines the benefits of a boom with the ergonomic advantages of NeilPryde’s industry-leading design. The handle’s drop grip feature ensures comfort and control, whether you‘re executing complex maneuvers or simply cruising.
INCLUDED: Carbon Mono Handle, Tubular FireFly Bag (shoulder strap can be used as strap for waist leash), Pump Adapter, Bladder Repair Set – Leash sold separately.
HIGH LIFT CONCEPT
Due to the highly refined LE geometry and entry shaping, each wing produces the maximum thrust (power and acceleration) for its size. This dramatically increases the range, allowing riders to use a smaller wing than is typical in each set of conditions. The result is easier handling and greater maneuverability
HIGH TENSION CANOPY WITH STRUCTURED CAMBER LENS
The 3D shape of the canopy leading edge is defined by a series of transverse panels that converge at the wingtips. This leverages the LE Tube structure to maximize tension in the critical entry sections – the result is more lift and a higher stall angle for better acceleration in light winds, and the ability to fly efficiently at low angles of attack for better control and higher top speeds in strong winds.
