LIGHT WIND PERFORMANCE
Introducing the NP Fly SL - an all new design optimized for light wind performance, especially for heavier riders. The Fly SL leverages the NP high lift concept (introduced on the original Fly to deliver both early take off AND light, responsive handling) but is optimized for down range flying with flatter entry sections, slightly lower aspect ratio and reduced wing sweep to keep the center of effort evenly balanced between both hands.
Developed by the NP design team to maximize the light-wind days on the lakes of Europe, the new fly St takes off early and stays up. The Fly SL is especially optimized for heavier riders using bigger boards, but is balanced and controllable in a way that benefits all riders looking to push their minimum wind take off speed to the limit on the lightest days.
FLY II vs FLY SL
The Fly SL leverages the NP high lift concept but is optimized for down range flying with flatter entry sections, slightly lower aspect ratio and reduced wing sweep to keep the center of effort evenly balanced between both hands.
Arguably the best wing on the market for schools and beginners - riders can use a smaller size and still be confident in their take off, the super comfortable, balanced handles make that first grab and maneuvers as easy as possible, and the shorter wing span makes it better suited for kids and smaller riders.
Carbon Ergo Handles
Neil Pryde carbon handles are a lightweight and durable evolution of our industry leading design. They feature our drop grip, optimized and – in combination with our strut design – create an ergonomic shape for maximum comfort.
NP High Lift concept
Drawing inspiration from the proven first generation FLY, the new Fly SL evolves the concept with flatter entry sections and increased canopy tension - this makes the wing point higher into the wind and extends the range while still retaining the responsive easy handling and early take off.
Hybrid Transferse Paneling
The Fly SL paneling combines transverse paneling for maximum shape holding and durability with 3 shaping seams for precise control of shape distribution and twist.
PVC Windows
We’ve chosen PVC for ultimate strength, maximum visibility and safety on the water.
Back Pack Bag
The Fly SL comes with a high quality back pack style bag with comfortable shoulder straps,versatile side pockets and even a small repair kit.
Part of the FLY Family
The new FireFly SL Fly shares its DNA with the renowned FLY and freshly updated FLY II. This means you're getting a wing that's backed by the legacy of proven performance and relentless development that defines the Neil Pryde brand.
