Your wing leash can be connected in two different ways: 1. If you have a piece of rope at the end of your leash, create a loop using the chair knot technique, for example. 2. If the loop already exists, it is reworked with the seam. Once the loop is OK, pass it through the attachment on your wing (the small cord located at the carrying/freefly handle), then pass your leash back through the loop.

Pass the leash attachment through your hand, then tighten so that the loop can no longer pass through your hand without cutting off your circulation. There are no precise rules for choosing which arm to put your leash on: right or left. It all depends on your preferences.

Roll the sail starting from the sides, also known as the ears, rather than folding it. This is particularly important if your sail has plastic windows, as folding can create angles that weaken the fabric or plastic of the windows. Once both sides are rolled up, fold the whole assembly starting at the back to expel the air from the central batten. Stow the valve in its neoprene protection, then fold the sail one last time. Be careful not to put too much pressure on the sail when folding if you want to keep it for a long time. Finally, put the wing back in its bag.

We recommend rinsing your wing in both fresh and salt water. The best way is to rinse it with rainwater, which has less limescale than tap water. Allow your wing to dry completely before storing it. Do not dry your wing in the sun as this could damage it. It is also advisable not to hang the wing up to dry or store it, to avoid the bladders moving or falling into the leading edge or batten.

That’s the advantage of carbon, you don’t need to add anything – just ride!
