FLUID, the freeride wing

The FLUID 2012 goes further in the Freeride spirit. It offers an extremely wide glide ratio range, from the steepest to the flatest.

Sizes: 8 - 9.5 - 11
> The 11 m2 is for heavy weight experienced and expert pilots.
> The 9.5 m2 is for expert pilots only, the perfect tool for freeriders.
> The 8 m2 is for extreme experts only, focused on speed oriented use such as slalom runs or derby runs

The expert wing, the FLUID 2012 is the glider for experienced and expert riders. Its precision, wide speed range and wide glide angle range will greatly expand your concept of speedriding. Feel the ultimate speedride between air and snow with your FLUID, the champions' tool!

Since the beginning, GIN speedriding philosophy has been to focus on ease of use, safety, and fun. These values are reflected in the Nano and also in the Fluid. We love Speedriding, and even for an ultimate expert glider like the Fluid, we love it safe. With a reasonable level of accessibility, the FLUID always allows you a safety margin. Its astonishing energy retention allows you to take you off whenever needed.

The FLUID is precise, reactive and fast. It is just as able to contour the ground on gentle slopes as on very steep ones. The 3 riser system, constantly improved by the GIN Team during winters, will allow you to trim the glide angle without losing stability and profile qualities. With these improvements, the FLUID has won all 2011 national and international competitions !!


* Choose your size according to your weight and - more importantly - experience.
