Discover Wing Alpha, the high-performance wing designed specifically for children and young teens. Lightweight, compact, and extremely resistant to wear and impacts, Wing Alpha is the perfect companion for young watergirls and waterboys eager to explore the exciting world of wing foiling.
With the new Reptile Alpha wing, we've developed a product exclusively for the new generation of watergirls and waterboys: Generation Alpha. This innovative wing is designed to make learning wing foiling a true game! One size, 2.0 square meters, with a compact wingspan for easy handling by even the youngest riders. Give your children, and yourself, the perfect summer gift for a wonderful time on the water with the Reptile Alpha!
The Wing Alpha has a reduced wingspan of only 180 cm, making it the most compact wing on the market. This feature ensures superior stability and prevents the tips from touching the water during takeoff.
The handles are designed for young wingers' grip. They are flat, semi-rigid, and covered with a non-slip fabric.
The Alpha wing is equipped with all the necessary features to make it perfect in every detail and durable over time.
The Alpha wing is equipped with two inflation valves. Inflate the STRUT (the short tube with handles) first, and then the leading edge (the larger curved tube).
All exposed seams and terminals are protected by a resistant anti-abrasive Kevlar fabric, which will protect your wing from accidental impacts.
Two mini battens on each side of the wing to eliminate the "flapping" effect and to guarantee optimal performance in Up wind.
The new generation is the future of our sport. Providing them with an easy and fun way to learn is one of the key points of our research and development plan.
Each wing is equipped with a comfortable and functional backpack, with a breathable side to avoid humidity. Inside the backpack there is also the repair kit.
Each Alpha wing comes with a comfortable and durable leash, suitable for all wrists.
What size Wing to choose?
Leaving aside all the beach talk, there are three elements to consider when choosing the correct size of your wing: your weight, the intensity of the wind and your technical level.
Rigid handles or soft (semi-rigid) handles?
With the Bora V2 wing and the Bora V2 RH wing we give the possibility to choose whether to purchase a wing with three soft (semi-rigid) handles or with long rigid handles.
The three soft handles cover almost the entire strut and allow you to grip the wing in any position, navigate with one hand and perform multiple freestyle evolutions. Being soft they do not damage the board in the event of an impact. The wing is lighter. They are suitable for everyone, from the beginner who needs to grab the wing everywhere to the freestyler who needs to perform the most radical rotation.
The two long rigid handles on the other hand give the wing a further step of rigidity, control and precision in transitions. They are long, the longest on the market, and positioned with minimal space between them so as to be considered almost a boom. The feeling is incredible, a sensation of direct control of the wing and an ability to perform even more precise wing passages in the wind. The wing preferred by those who love to do long edges, by those who do slalom. Also perfect for wave and freestyle.
Wing with window or without window?
For the Bora V2 wing we chose a windowless construction, which gives the wing a lighter weight and better performance. Flying with the wing offers the rider a very broad view of what surrounds him given the position of the wing during cross-wind and upwind flight. In the waves then the windows are not necessary, since you surf keeping the wing behind you or next to you. The general duration of the wing is also higher.
How much to inflate the wing?
Do not inflate the wing beyond the recommended pressure. Too high a pressure won't make you go faster, on the contrary. Have you ever tried to inflate your car tires to too high a pressure? wear out your tires and don't hold the road. Have you ever windsurfed with an extra stiff mast, or rigged the sail beyond the limit? the result is always the same, loss of performance. The wing has been designed to remain rigid in some points and flex in others. Don't pay too much attention to beach chatter, otherwise, when the wing breaks out, you'll send the bill to the homes of professors in flip-flops.
What damages does the warranty cover?
Every Reptile Sports product is subjected to rigorous quality controls during every single production phase. Each product is carefully checked to ensure that the technical characteristics comply with specifications. Non-compliant products are NOT placed on the market but destroyed.
The warranty covers production defects and/or material defects with a duration of twenty-four months (24) from the date of purchase, in the case of sale to the direct user.
This date must be proven by a delivery document issued by the seller (e.g. receipt), which contains: the delivery date, the name of the seller, the identification details of the same (type, model).
Major defects in materials and workmanship
Defects in materials, and in particular in carbon composites, are normally highlighted in the initial use phase. If a product is defective (and this can happen), it breaks after a few outings. Breakages that occur after months of use are unlikely to be attributable to material or production defects, but rather to impacts or stress following poorly executed maneuvers, impact with the seabed, or shakes in the waves. This does not mean that the guarantee is not recognized, but that it may be necessary for us to carry out a greater analysis of the damaged parts to understand whether the nature of the breakage occurred due to defect or incompetence.
