Description
Designed for riders who want fast, efficient foiling with a clean and predictable feel, this front wing delivers smooth lift, confident speed build, and impressive range for everything from freeride cruising to longer linking runs. The high aspect outline helps minimise drag while keeping handling calm and controllable when conditions get bumpy.
On the Water
- Smooth lift and takeoff: rises cleanly and stays composed through speed changes and surface disturbance.
- Efficient glide: maintains momentum well, helping you connect sections and ride further with less effort.
- Stable at pace: keeps the ride planted when speed builds, giving confidence for longer reaches.
- Controlled turning: delivers a consistent carve feel that does not feel twitchy or locked in.
Design and Construction Highlights
- High aspect geometry: optimised to reduce resistance and extend glide and cruising speed.
- Refined foil profile: supports a predictable lift curve and smooth acceleration.
- Carbon construction: lightweight and responsive for crisp feedback and efficient energy transfer.
- Wingtip shaping: tuned to reduce drag and maintain consistent handling through chop.

FAQ – NeilPryde Glide Swift HA Carbon 2026 Front Wing
Quick answers to help you choose the right size and setup.
What riding styles does this front wing suit?
It suits wing foiling, kite foiling, and surf foiling, especially when you want efficient speed, stable flight, and glide that helps link longer runs.
How do I choose between 750, 1000, and 1250?
The 750 favours speed and agility, the 1000 is the most versatile option, and the 1250 supports earlier lift and easier cruising, especially in lighter conditions.
Is this front wing beginner friendly?
It can work for progressing riders, but complete beginners often learn faster on larger, lower aspect options. If you are already comfortable foiling and want more range and speed, it is an excellent upgrade path.
Will it work with my existing NeilPryde foil parts?
It is intended for the Glide Swift Carbon modular ecosystem. Compatibility depends on your fuselage and connection standard, so match it with the correct Swift components for best fit and performance.
How should I care for a carbon front wing?
Rinse with fresh water after use, avoid resting it on hard surfaces, and store it dry. Check bolts regularly and apply appropriate corrosion protection to fasteners if riding in salt water.
