GLIDE SWIFT ALU
AFFORDABLE PERFORMANCE
Experience the new fascinating Glide Swift Alu: A harmonious fusion of the proven Glide Swift Carbon and the versatile Glide Surf HP offers an unparalleled riding experience. This innovative creation turns two foils into a high-performing foil that can compete with pure carbon foils while remaining affordable.
The Glide Swift Alu impresses with a composition that includes the reliable Glide Mast Alu, the Glide Fuselage Alu, paired with the unique Glide Swift Carbon Front and Back Wings.
It allows easy cruising and enables advanced maneuvers as well as basic freestyle tricks. With a focus on extreme stability and early takeoff at minimal speeds, the Glide Swift Alu creates a safe and comfortable environment. It bridges affordable quality with unbridled performance, making it the perfect choice for beginners to expirenced riders with ambitious goals.
The carbon front wing, which features an inflected leading edge with outer high-aspect sections and a moderate center sweep, maximizes agility and helps to control hard turns. The low-drag wingtips reduce drag and decrease the risk of injury.
The tail is a swept wing design with turned up wing tips. It’s optimized for a balance between speed, stability and turning. In terms of stability it punches above its weight for the area due to the sweep. At the same time, it offers extremely responsive yet forgiving turning.
The aspect ratio of the front wings changes from 9.1 in the smallest 600cm2 wing to 7.3 in the biggest 1450 cm2 wing. This allows us to maximize the glide in each size without the larger wings becoming difficult to turn and control.
Building on 35 years of sail and yacht design experience, Nils was one of the first designers to begin experimenting with performance foils back in the late 90s.
His interest in foil design was really sparked when surf foiling and downwind foiling started to become popular and he has been working closely on the cutting edge of foil design with some of the worlds best athletes for over 10 years.
Nils rejoined the NeilPryde design team to create our first wing, the Fly and is proud to have designed our latest NeilPryde Foil, the Glide Swift.
