Kitewings
Kitewing TW Series
Skate Sails
The Kitewing is a hand held wingsail designed for sailing on low friction surfaces. Sail over ice and snow with skates and skis, pavement with skateboards or rollerblades, mountainboards on beach or desert – it is all Kitewing terrain.
Kitewings
The Kitewing is the root and basis of all our wings. The standard Kitewing is easy to setup and sail. Its basic design allows beginners and advanced sailors the enjoyment of learning wing sailing. With good ice and a bit of wind, most people are sailing in minutes. The full line of sizes cover all conditions making everyday a good day to sail.
Kitewing TW Series
The new Kitewing TW Series was developed to be a lighter more versatile wing for both ice skating and snow sailing. The new design, carbon V tube front tube can be rigged with either straight boom or curve boom with Y-tubes like traditional Kitewings. This new frame can be used with all 3 new TW series wings. One wing can be purchased then additional TW sail kits can be added to change to different size wing.
All sails are made from 1.4 oz Dyneema which makes them incredibly light combined with carbon fiber frames.
Tuning ability on the TW series is a vast improvement and caters to the sailor who is mindful of wind conditions. With adjustable tack and outhaul tensioner, Batten tensioners, Camber inducer for center batten precise tuning, 4:1 tip tensioners, makes these wings…well, perfection.
Skate Sails
Skate sails are a division of Kitewing. They are smaller, lighter and very efficient sails primarily for ice but can be used on hard snow as well. The SK8 has been in our line for the last several years and has been a great tool in learning the skills for skate sailing. The sport has grown and the need for bigger lighter more efficient sails was desired.
2022 brought new and exciting skate sails.
First was an upgraded version of the SK8. The SK821, basically the same as the SK8 but now includes 3 batten pockets. Also added tack tensioner, batten tensioners and camber inducer.
Second is the all new Skimbat. Designed with nordic skaters in mind. Skimbat sails in the lightest breezes with quick precise handling. Folks seeking a performance skate sail need search no further. Skimbat takes down quickly to a 60 inch roll which can be strapped to a pack or simply carried. Standard sail is Dacron. Skimbat has all the same tuning abilities as SK821.
