OCEAN RODEO GLIDE AA-SERIES WING USED

The Glide AA-Series with Soft Handles is in perfect shape with one minor canopy repair   Discipline: All Around - Surf / Freestyle / Race New for 2023, the Glide AA is our first all ALUULA composite wing and the launch pad for new ALUULA technologies: Aeris and Aeris X airframe and canopy materials. 86gsm Aeris X delivers outstanding stiffness to the center of the leading edge and strut tube, while 74gsm Aeris provides the desired wing tip reflex. Light, stiff and durable, 46gsm Aeris X canopy extends the upper and lower wind range of each size, while taking canopy tear resistance to a new level. The combination of these technological upgrades results in a wing that is exceptionally stable, lightweight and user-friendly. This advanced wing allows you to concentrate on your riding experience without being hindered by any drawbacks typically associated with traditional wings. The Glide AA is compatible with all Ocean Rodeo Matrix wing handles and comes with the new Quick Click Wing Leash - a self aligning connector pin makes clicking in and out a one-handed operation. Recycle-ready - The ALUULA Aeris and Aeris X materials used for the airframe and canopy in the Glide AA-Series are recyclable at the end of their useful life.   ATTRIBUTES SIZE 3.0m WEIGHT 2.7 LBS 1.2 KG WIND RANGE 20 - 35 knots SIZE 4.0m WEIGHT 3.25 LBS WEIGHT 1.47 KG WIND RANGE 15 - 30 knots SIZE 5.0m WEIGHT 3.65 LBS WEIGHT 1.65 KG WIND RANGE 12 - 25 knots SIZE 6.0m WEIGHT 4.35 LBS WEIGHT 1.97 KG WIND RANGE 10 - 20 knots SIZE 7.0m WEIGHT 4.6 LBS WEIGHT 2.1 KG WIND RANGE 6 - 15 knots IMPORTANT NOTICE!  * Weights calculated without handles. **This wind range chart is for reference only, calculated for a 75kg/165lb rider. Board size, foil size, rider weight, rider skill level and wind / weather / water conditions all must be taken into consideration when selecting a wing size. FULL ALUULA AIRFRAME The inflatable airframe features ultra light and stiff Aeris X 86 gsm in the center section, with Aeris 74 gsm in the wing tips. Experience a stiffer centre section combined with enhanced flex on the wing tips, delivering unrivaled control, smooth handling, and balanced weight distribution. ALUULA AERIS X CANOPY Tensile Strength  Warp / Weft (Lbs of force) Tensile strength is a measurement of the force required to pull something such as rope, wire, or a structural beam to the point where it breaks.  The lengthwise or longitudinal warp yarns are held stationary in tension on a frame or loom while the transverse weft (sometimes woof) is drawn through and inserted over-and-under the warp. Modulus (N/mm2) Modulus of elasticity measures a material’s resistance to being deformed elastically (not permanently) when stress is applied. Tear Strength (Lbs of force) Tear resistance (or tear strength) is a measure of how well a material can withstand the effects of tearing. Dynamic Shape Retention Experience the power of Dynamic Shape Retention. Our advanced pre-stressing technique applied to the canopy ensures the airfoil retains its original designed shape for the life of your wing.  Reinforced Canopy The canopy's reinforcements, overlays and anti-flutter strips now benefit from ALUULA's remarkable strength to weight ratio and its superior abrasion resistance when compared to Dacron and other much heavier abrasion solutions. Radial Cut Canopy The Radial cut canopy design distributes the load more evenly along the fibers of the Aeris X composite. This results in a canopy that holds its shape better, even under heavy loads and varying wind conditions.  The panels of the canopy align with the principal stresses, allowing for a more efficient transfer of forces throughout the wing and more power delivery.

Dual Valve Inflation The airframe features individual inflate/deflate valves for both the leading edge and the strut, which allow for specific pressures to be set for each spar, and lock in the tension of the canopy, maintaining the designed airfoil shape.  All Ocean Rodeo wings feature an industry-first high pressure strut which is safe at 12psi. Each size of Glide-AA wing has a recommended psi for the leading edge. Knuckle Saver Neoprene Handle You know the conditions are good when you chafe your knuckles during long downwind drifts. The leading edge behind the handle is padded with neoprene for improved comfort while the handle itself is stiffened to provide additional control while one handed wave riding. Quad Lock Seams Used specifically on the shaping seams of struts, Quad Lock stitching delivers more than twice the strength of standard strut seam constructs, and was another innovation specifically tailored for the ALUULA airframe wings. ALUULA Aeris Wingtips 86gsm Aeris X delivers outstanding stiffness to the center of the leading edge and strut tubes, while 74gsm Aeris provides the desired wing tip reflex.

LEARN MORE MATRIX HANDLES SYSTEM PAT PENDING Soft Handle Set Ultra light and strong, the removable Soft Matrix Handle Set shines when wave riding or connecting chop on prolonged downwinders, keeping the trailing edge of the wing as light as possible for the ultimate in drifting performance. These handles are built tough with ergonomically shaped EVA sheathed by rugged nylon tube webbing, and are connected to the strut by velcro locking tabs which allow the rider to easily change handle styles and positions. Multiple harness line connection points are made possible via webbing loops located at each handle end.  The Soft Matrix Handles come standard with every Glide-AA. Carbon Handle Set Carbon handles are available in two lengths:  32 cm and the all-new 43 cm. Made with compression molded Carbon, these handles are both strong and lightweight. The slim 25 mm diameter of the bar combined with specialized non-slip finger ridges allow for extra control. Swapping a handle set between wing sizes is quick and easy with no screws, velcro, or other attachment devices required.  The Carbon Handle Set comes complete with a padded carrying bag. Adjustable Carbon Bar 110cm fits: 4m-7m on A-series Glide 4m-7m on AA-series Glide 94cm fits: 2.5m-5m on A-series 2.5m-4m on AA-series Glide Light and strong, made with 12 K twill weave Carbon, the Carbon Bar delivers additional stiffness to the inflatable strut. The ability to generate more power and better manage overpowered situations is enhanced. Riding with the Carbon Bar is the ultimate setup to get the most out of your Ocean Rodeo wing, allowing for aggressive riding and precision control. No more searching for grab handles during maneuvers! The generous oval tube diameter delivers exceptional torsional / lateral control during powered maneuvers, while the embossed grip provides a secure connection in all conditions and the adjustable back post makes swapping the bar between sizes quick and easy. The Carbon Bar comes complete with a padded bar bag that clips to the side of the wing bag. QUICK CLICK LEASH Introducing the Quick Click Leash! A self aligning connector pin makes clicking in and out a one-handed operation. Fitted with a stainless swivel, leash line twists are minimized, while sorting board and wing leash tangles has never been easier.  The leash cord is bungee loaded webbing covered for strength and low tangle potential. Comes with leash extension for waist harness use. During its development, the Quick Click connector proved its mettle in extreme wing foiling conditions, backed up by a punishing sequence of mechanized load tests.  GLIDE AA-SERIES
