Frontwing LA1600
Perfect for wing practice, but also suitable for wake and surf foil, the LA1600 front wing allows you to carve without restraint, and connect the sections between the waves thanks to an effortless maintained glide. Its optimized profile ensures easy and smooth take-offs at very low speed.
Its aspect ratio has been calculated to offer an excellent compromise between lift and glide, and to be both accessible and efficient.
Its carbon construction offers a very good compromise between rigidity and lightness, and its profile has been calculated to ensure minimum drag at nominal speed.
About Low Wings Aspect Ratio
Low Aspect Ratio wings are generally used in surf or freemove oriented foil disciplines.
These wings are easier to control and slower , which makes them more forgiving and ideal for learning to foil.
A wider leading edge creates more lift , and a distinctively more curved shape gives carving ability and tolerance to changes in rider balance .
Low Aspect Ratio wings generally have a surface area between 1200 and 2000 cm2, and are designed for control, responsiveness and fast take-off. They are used in most foiling disciplines, including downwind paddling, classic surfing and surf-style or freeride wingfoil.
Manufacturing
While most brands use PrePreg manufacturing methods for the production of carbon parts, Taaroa uses a proprietary method called DFCM ( Dynamic Fluid Compression Moulding ). This method makes it possible to use a larger palette of carbon fibers and gives better results in terms of rigidity and of quality , thus improving performance on the water.
