The PPC M1 is the ultimate choice for experienced riders seeking uncompromising performance.
The M1 utilizes the remarkable stiffness of Dyneema Cuben fiber, a high-end material commonly used in racing sailboats. It sets new standards in strength and durability and allows for the use of smaller diameters for the leading edge and strut, combined with high air pressure. The fabric used is a new, non-stretch, waxed MK cloth, previously found only in the sails of America's Cup yachts. At 12 PSI of pressure, coupled with a complex panel layout, the M1 exhibits a very stiff profile, low near the center strut, rapidly flattening out toward the wing tips.
The new double carbon grips offer the flexibility and direct response that many have been requesting.
On the water, the M1 proves to be a true performance machine – high acceleration and speed, great handling, and enormous lift when jumping.
Please note that this wing is intended for the experienced rider seeking performance at all levels - it is not suitable for the beginner.
