The PPC Blend Wing - the second wing developed by Sam Loader and his team in New Zealand, is no surprise!
Accompanying its established, high performance brother Surge, the new Blend also shows a full load of power and balance. Being even lighter than the Surge, the Blend displays a softer and less aggressiv feeling. Its power development shows to be smoother with a more 'pull along' drive.
With its reduced weight and a smaller wing span the well balanced Blend Wing will also suit the lighter and less powerful rider. While a great free rider, it excels in downwind and wave conditions.
The center tube still shows a little drop down to give us the well balanced and neutral flight characteristics we have gotten used to with the Surge. Luffing the light weight Blend during maneuvers or in the waves is a breeze.
Handle placement again was given quite some focus, to ensure the easy and natural handling we have gotten used to with the Surge - with the added pig tails harness lines also can be attached to the center strut.
The Blend shares the same, proven high quality construction with Japanese Teijin cloth and German Polyant Dacron with the Surge - say no to absorbing water and increasing weight when you get out on the water.
