Catch and stash
Speed up your ride upwind, spend more time downwinding and reach higher top speeds with
the new FRIGATE. Whether you're heading upwind to start a long run or exploring different
coastlines, the FRIGATE takes you further with even greater ease and efficiency.
Building on the original design, this second version features a wider wind range, increased
stability in stronger winds, improved pumping efficiency in the low end and greater
responsiveness, all while remaining intuitive to use and even easier to stash.
• Wider wind range: Increased efficiency throughout the entire wind range and
enhanced stability in the high end.
• Outstanding speed and upwind performance: Higher aspect ratio and an
optimized profile with a greater number of ribs for sharper accelerations, better
upwind ability in both low and high end, and increased top speed.
• Increased responsiveness: Additional ribs for greater tautness and improved
pumping efficiency.
• Easier handling and packing: New Double Dynamic Bridle System, shorter bridles
and Pack Assist for improved maneuverability, quicker deployment and stashing, and
fewer tangles.
• Increased depower: Greater depower for more comfortable riding in the high end
and the ability to ride with smaller foils and boards.
• Optimized construction: New fabrics and Ultra Light Ribs construction for reduced
weight and greater responsiveness.
• New vertical bar: A more ergonomic design for better grip, increased comfort and
maximum depower.
This new FRIGATE boasts a refined profile featuring a higher aspect ratio, delivering better
efficiency upwind and faster accelerations. Combined with additional ribs, the FRIGATE is
more reactive and benefits from improved pumping capabilities, particularly in the low end.
Overall, the wind range of this FRIGATE is wider, making this parawing incredibly versatile
and delivering consistent performance from the low end to the high end alike. It generates
smooth, efficient power in lighter winds while remaining stable and predictable when the
breeze builds.
The new Double Dynamic Bridle System, with fewer connection points, makes the parawing
feel more direct while reducing the risk of tangles. Combined with shorter bridles and the new
Pack Assist system, the FRIGATE is quicker to deploy, easier to stash and more intuitive to
handle before, during and after every run. The new vertical carbon bar further enhances
comfort with improved ergonomics and maximum depower when needed.
Every size has been optimized to achieve the same performance and intuitive handling while
reducing overall weight. All sizes benefit from the new Ultra Light Ribs Technology, reducing
weight without compromising stiffness, as well as from a new, softer fabric that packs down
smaller
