Summer and heat wave are often synonymous with winds that are too weak to navigate. Unless you have in your quiver our new One Light wing and our famous Tiki, both specifically developed for light winds.
Laminated and varnished wooden board available in two sizes, 210 and 230 cm, the Tiki has its origins halfway between the Alaia and the Mini-Malibu due to its wooden construction, its central fin and its great length.
As surprising on land as it is surprising on the water, its extraordinary dimensions give it an amazing glide, extraordinary comfort and upwind not far from that of a foil. Three main assets that will allow you to validate a maximum of sessions on the water while the other supports will watch you sail from the beach.
Easy to access, even for those who have never done a directional, it will allow you to navigate in very little water, where the foils cannot approach, and will allow you to explore many spots in summer conditions in which you still thought were impossible to navigate.
Associated with the One Light, you can sail from 8 knots of wind!
Available from 5 to 15m², the One Light is our new mono-batten wing unveiled last May and precisely designed in its large sizes to take advantage of light winds and ensure sailing when sailing opportunities are rare and scheduled.
Light, simple and intuitive, it has a lot of bottom power and remarkable stability to stay in the air whatever the conditions. We wanted it resolutely reassuring and accessible for freeride navigation in light winds, for the practice of Tiki, twin-tip and foil.
Incredibly light and small when compressed, it will also prove to be the perfect travel companion for those who will be spending the summer away from home.
And to take full advantage of its performance, we recommend using it with our Sweet Barre in 42/48cm for sizes from 5 to 9m² and in 48/54cm from 12 to 15m².
