For beginners and committed wing devotees, the Wingnut is an easy and versatile wing package to cover all conditions. Light and stable, the Wingnut generates smooth power during takeoff even in strong and gusty winds but will flag-out and drift neutrally when surfing waves. The outline of the Wingnut gives it a moderate aspect ratio. Parallel tips help limit the wingspan in the bigger sizes resulting in better clearance over the surface of the water. A stiff leading edge supports a tight and clean canopy, and the inclusion of two generously sized windows aids visibility during flight or transitions. The Wingnut is easy to set up with its large air valves for quick inflation and deflation. When not in use, the Wingnut can be neatly packed into the bag and stored until your next adventure.
In the last weeks, our team put six bilge stringers to add strength and stiffness to the hull. For each one, we follow the same procedure: The first step is to create a template and transfer it to the carefully selected piece of oak, which we shape into form with circular saws, planers and sanders. Then our team uses a mix of linseed oil, tar and chalk to seal the gaps between the bilge stringer and frames. In the meantime, the piece of oak is being steamed and finally bent and bolted into its place. Video edit: Karoline Hill Music: Buckeye Bonzai by Vans in Japan
