G'day guys I'd though I'd put some pics up of a wing I made to fit my Slingshot set up.

I have been SUP, Wind and Wing foiling using a Infnity84 and 76. I have liked the look of the newer HA wings on the market and had a crack at making one. Being a chippie with glassing experience I chose to uses paulownia with a layer of 6oz glass all round I did add black tint to the epoxy resin for a "poor mans carbon look" The fuse to wing joint took some thought. In the end I routed a slot (4mm bigger than the SS fuse and moulded it on. It now has a rock solid fit and only needs one screw from underneath the wing. I will glass over the slot once I have got the AOA perfect but for now its fine to use and tune. Over all I'm stoked how it came out. Its feels so slippery on foil and the lift comes on very smoothly. The specs are Span 930mm, Cord 170mm, max thickness 35mm.

Nice work Bender it certainly looks the goods.
