Shinn have just released the Supraglide. A true high-performance foil designed to have the most control possible. Find out all about it here.

Kudos have to go out to Shinn. Rather than rushing, and releasing a subpar product when full high aspect foils became popular. Shinn bided their time, and did two years of careful R & D, the result of that is the SUPRAGLIDE. A true high-performance foil designed to have the most control possible. Shinn has always been renowned for creating high-quality products, we’re sure that this is no exception.

The Foil

Extreme performance without the need for extreme skills – rather than rushing to market with the first HA foil we designed our R and D kept searching for the right combination of performance speed and glide, combined with the comfort and ease of use that enables you to unlock 100% of your performance. A true HA wing with an aspect ratio of 9.6 the Supraglide features our most hydrodynamically advanced under-cambered foil profile delivering impressive low-speed stall resistance and a high angle of attack drop-off.

Main Features

  • Supreme glide and efficiency
  • High aspect, reduced chord, low drag foil
  • High Modulus (HM) carbon front wing construction
  • New Fuser fuselage with adjustable mast position for ideal tuning
  • High efficiency, flat G10 stabilisers SF40 and SF47
  • Wide choice of full carbon or aluminium mast lengths
  • Wing and stabiliser supplied with covers

Sizes

  • 782 cm2 - High-performance speed and glide (Wing span - 856 mm, Fuser – 580 Fuselage, Stabiliser - G10 SF40)
  • 1066 cm2 - High-performance speed and glide (Wing span - 1000 mm, Fuser - 735 Fuselage, Stabiliser - G10 SF40)
  • 1350 cm2 - Light winds and pumping (Wing span - 1113 mm, Fuser - 735 Fuselage, Stabiliser - G10 SF47)

Details

The Fuser allows a choice of mast positions to tune your foil to your sport and style. The 580mm has 3 positions and the 735mm has two. Use the blanking plates supplied to fill the section of the mast pocket not used.

The winglet free stabilisers feature very fine profiling to balance lift and minimise drag. Constructed in G10 for maximum stiffness and durability. Available in 2 sizes SF40 and SF47 these stabs offer the highest performance and lowest drag possible.

The Supraglide foils are constructed with our double High Modulus Carbon technology. HM carbon has ideal properties for high-performance wings with thin foil sections and a reduced chord putting all the emphasis on ensuring the wing is stiff and strong enough to perform. Masts are available in both aluminium and carbon finish.

The 2022 Fuser features all-new shaping designed to reduce parasitic drag when gliding especially when pumping, integrated stabiliser new connection guarantees a stiff joint and a minimum of flow disruption. Stabilisers S20.1 and S20.2 are not compatible with the fuser fuselage.
