Introducing the NeilPryde Firefly - an all new design optimized for freestyle and surf. The Firefly combines the NP high lift concept (introduced on the original Fly to deliver both take off early AND light responsive handling) with a host of new features developed over a year of close collaboration with our Freestyle and Wave test team - significantly reduced wingspan for rotational maneuvers and wave riding, the new NP Mono Handle that functions like a boom but adds the drop grip feature, and a simplified airframe with a stiffer feel for smoother drifting and tricks that require backwind riding.
This unique feature set also makes the Firefly arguably the best wing on the market for schools and beginners - riders can use a smaller size and still be confident in their take off, the Mono handle makes that first grab and maneuvers as easy as possible, and the shorter wing span makes it better suited for kids and smaller riders.
Drawing on the accumulated expertise of the NP design team, the all new Firefly is optimized for freestyle, surf and schools. The firefly is packed with innovations that that elevate your wing foiling experience, whether you are an experienced rider pushing into rotational moves / stepping up your game in surf, or a new rider fresh to wing foiling, looking for the earliest take-off and easiest handing.
Part of the FLY family: The new Firefly shares its DNA with the renowned FLY and freshly updated FLY Il This means you're getting a wing that's backed by the legacy of proven performance and relentless development that defines the NeilPryde brand.
INCLUDED
Tubular Firefly Backpack, Pump Adapter, Bladder Repair Set
KEY FEATURES -
> Shape differences - The Firefly has a greatly reduced wingspan for far lighter handling. Wing tips will will be less likely to touch in the water on rotations or side to side maneuvers on the waves. This reduced wingspan is also ideal for people who are learning to wing as this is the number 1 cause of falling when learning.
> Mono handle - Our new mono handle feels like a boom in your hands but adds the drop grip feature at the front for easy gybing / downwind flying. You'll love the way you can control the power in the wing with 1 hand while concentrating on chasing waves with the rest of your body.
> Integral batten system - Sewn-in composite battens create a flat, fast trailing edge with minimum flutter.
> Staggered material weights on LE - The use of an ultra-light, high-tenacity woven polyester at the wingtips and back of strut results in a very light ‘feel’ due to reduced swing weight.
> Mono handle design - The new NP Mono Handle functions like a boom but adds the drop grip feature or ease of handling, tricks and downwind flying.

Also ideal for schools, centers and kids as beginners/intermediate wingers will be able to use a smaller wing compared to traditional shapes and avoid touching the wing tips on the water while learning to get up on foil.
I have used this board on flat water in calm and very windy conditions. I really like this board it handles really well, is a pleasure to paddle and seems quite quick. one of the reasons for choosing this board was it is designed for lighter weight paddlers, it really does fit the bill in that respect. All in all a brilliant board. In addition the service I received from Poole Harbour Watersports was excellent.
Unfortunately I ordered the wrong size and had to return for an exchange, couldn’t speak highly enough of the service I received being kept updated along the way and the new coat being dispatched as soon as it was back in stock. Thank you
