FIRST WING FROM F4 FOIL;

WHAT 'S SPECIAL WITH THAT WING ?

Charles and Thomas from Windspirit.ca provide an overview of the 2024 F4 FOILS MYA Wing, emphasizing its key features in its inaugural version. They praise the F4 Mya wing as a dependable first iteration, citing its user-friendly design, stability, power, and responsiveness. Both recommend it for freeriding, wave riding, and freestyle, making it one of the most adaptable wings available.

 

Wing Features

The Mya wing is offered in three sizes: 4, 5, and 6 meters, available in a singular red and white color scheme. It includes carbon handles and a lightweight bag capable of accommodating two wings. However, this model does not offer window options.

Surf Handle

The semi-rigid surf handle flexes easily forward and backward, facilitating comfortable grip even with gloves. While advantageous for wrist comfort during free flying, it may lack some control in onshore conditions compared to stiffer handles.

Carbon Handles

Featuring the F4 double m6 screw handle system, the long handles provide ample space for hand movement during maneuvers. The rigid and wide grips receive praise for comfort and maneuverability, offering attachment points for harness lines akin to a boom.

Inflation System

Equipped with a high-pressure inflation valve and a two-pump system with separate hoses for the strut and leading edge, the inflation process may take a bit longer but ensures quick deflation.
Canopy

Constructed from ultralightweight and rigid materials, the canopy incorporates four battens at the trailing edge for stability in higher winds and increased speed. This fabric choice contributes to the wing's overall performance.

With an emphasis on lightweight materials, aerodynamics, and rigidity, the F4 Mya wing offers solid performance in 2024 at a competitive price point. Charles and Thomas express satisfaction with its on-water performance, making it a top choice for the year.
