S26 Naish Wing Surfer
The Naish Wing Surfer took the world by storm with its introduction in 2019 and launched the sport of Wingsurfing into what is now the fastest growing water sport in the world. The S25 Wing-Surfer took that basic concept to the next level by adding more sizes, better visibility and improved performance. The all-new Wing- Surfer Mk3 is packed with design features that will carry this rapidly evolving sport well into the future.
We started with the basic outline, refining the leading edge curve of each size wing to maximize drive, balance and stability in its given wind range. Panel count has been reduced for lighter weight, yet not overly simplified so that optimum foil shape is retained. Leading edge diameters have been increased in the center of the wing to provide a substantially more rigid airframe, yet are not “cartoonishly” large as seen on some other wings. In this case, “bigger is better” has limits and a balance between diameter sizes versus drag, speed potential, weight of leading edge material and internal bladder, etc. must all be taken into consideration. The Mk3 leading edges taper to the wing tips for a perfect balance of power delivery, stability, twist and speed. The center strut diameter has also been increased for stiffness and better control in higher winds and jumping.
Draft depth has increased substantially and is further forward, providing more “locked-in” power and increased stability. Everyone, especially heavier riders, will especially appreciate the immediate “sheet in and go” feel of the Mk3, which provides improved low end and upwind performance as well as strong wind stability and control. Some riders may find that they will now be able to use one size smaller wing in the same wind conditions than they would have previously.
Handle count has been reduced, with repositioned handles in just the right locations for maximum performance and comfort. New removable and adjustable “Y-handles” between the leading edge and strut provide added tune-ability to the wing. A neoprene pad under the front handle provides extra comfort when handling your wing or luffing while riding swells or waves.

The windows on the S26 Naish Wing Surfer Mk3 have been redesigned and repositioned to maximize functionality and safety while reducing their overall size. Narrower width and placed further forward toward the leading edge of the wing and closer to the center strut all but eliminates blind spots. The result is perfect visibility, reduced weight and a smaller package when storing or transporting your wing. A new
coil leash design with a smaller, lighter and easier to secure wrist attachment is standard as is a new and improved carry bag and pump.
Finally, new internal reinforcements and advancements in seam construction, especially in high load areas such as strut to leading edge connection and strut to canopy stress points, all contribute to a stronger and longer lasting wing. Weight reduction was a factor in the design of the Wing-Surfer Mk3, but there must be
a balance between weight savings, functionality and durability.
The S26 Naish Wing Surfer Mk3 meets this challenge without compromise; perfectly providing a dynamic, responsive, powerful, yet long lasting wing that will suit first timers equally as well as it will suit the aspiring professional... Session after session.
