For high-speed performance, efficiency is key. We’ve engineered Mode, our high-speed performance wing, with high tensile strength N-Weave 45 cross-weave reinforced woven fibre airframe and Matrix N-HTRS canopy for the most efficient power delivery on the market.
Developing these new material technologies has allowed us to create a stiffer, lighter and more durable wing without geometric compromise (and without the high-performance price tag).
N-Weave 45 reduces structural deflection and transfers wind energy into greater forward speed, explosive boost and hangtime for freestyle tricks.
We’ve specifically designed our new low-stretch, low-deflection Matrix N-HTRS high-tenacity canopy material to manage the added tension of the N-Weave 45 airframe, further increasing the wind range, and holding its shape in all conditions.
The Mode has a fast, VMG-optimized design, which lets you sail closer to the wind, on higher upwind angles, and reduces your need to tack or gybe. We designed the Mode primarily for high-speed performance, but the stiffer airframe also translates into unprecedented loft for higher jumps and forward momentum on landings.
With incredible high-end stability, the 3.5 to 4.8m are ideal for use in stronger winds, while the 5.5m and 6.8m are optimised for greater power in lighter air.
The wing has a balanced lower aspect ratio with rounded wingtips to reduce tip strike, and the new panel layout delivers wingtip stability and increased tension under load.
Featuring Carbon GripLock rigid micro-trim control handles for immediate response, and gybe-friendly window positioning.

New N-Weave 45 Airframe 30% lighter. 3x stiffer. 2x torsionally stiffer than a traditional Dacron (176gsm). 30% lighter, 3x stiffer, and 2x torsionally stiffer than a traditional Dacron (176gsm).
New Matrix-NHTRS Canopy Matrix is a high-performance stretch-resistant wing canopy material specifically designed to handle the higher loads of the N-Weave45 frame.
VMG-Optimised Design Our primary design objectives for the Mode were speed and VMG, or Velocity Made Good, which indicates your speed towards or from the direction of the wind.
Freestyle and Freeride Performance We designed the Mode for high-speed performance, but the stiffer airframe also translates into unprecedented loft for higher jumps and forward momentum on landings.
High end stability and impressive wind range Any rider will benefit from the Mode’s stability and tensioning. Once you’re up on the foil its designed for stability at the high end – whereas the Nova and Loft Pro are designed for better performance in the low end
New panel layout Stabilizes the wingtips and increases tension under load
Compact outline with reduced wingspan Balanced lower aspect ratio design with rounded wingtips to reduce tip strike.
Connected dual inflation valves There are two HyperFlow Inflation valves, one on the LE and one on the strut, with an interlinking valve and hose.
New Carbon GripLock handles Rigid Carbon GripLock micro-trim control handles for immediate response and intuitive transitions.
Gybe-friendly window positioning We’ve placed two smaller windows in front of you so you can see downwind. We’ve also placed a window towards the end of the strut for a visual on what’s behind you.
