Prices in CAD? How would you compare your wings to other well known models? Local production?

Yes pricing is in CDN $$.
Our wings are manufactured overseas in the same factory as Epic, Signature and a few other brands, so we know we have a top quality factory.
Having windows is critical, and ours are a good size, double reinforced.
We have been testing for over a year to ensure our wings are very efficient and top quality.
Once you try one, we are certain you'll be impressed. Pump, Leash and Sand bag are also included with Wing and travel bag.

Thanks for asking. :)

Are they a rigid/tensioned canope like the Takuma/A-wing/Cabrina or a softer one like the Unit/Wasp?

Yes they are a more rigid tension, so less flapping when riding. If you like Epic Wings or Ensis, you'll see the similarities.
The "Leach Panel" helps create shape and gives more lift in lighter winds. I'm a 195lb rider, so more lift was a big design feature for me.
The panel is snug or tensioned but not adjustable.
We use 3 x 3 rip-stop and the outer tip colour panels are a higher strength to help aid in less spilling of wind, so it holds it the shape and power better.

Regards, Steve

Way 2 go!

Whats the max inflation? Hopefully I can try a demo somewhere this summer to compare with my existing Wasps.

Max inflation is 6psi, but I've pumped the 5.1 and 6.1 to 7psi as they are have a larger leading edge.
