ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
INFLATING THE WING
A) Lay the wing at on the ground (upside down) with the strut facing up. Make sure the leading edge
is facing toward the wind.
B) Attach the pump leash to the leash connection point on the leading edge.
C) Push button in and turn approximately 90 degrees until it springs out.
D) Insert the pump hose end piece and inate until you reach the required pressure. If the wing has
been stored upright, you will want to grab the second handle at the strut after inating the leading
edge and shake slightly, allowing the strut bladder to fall back in place toward the leading edge.
E) Using a Naish pump with gauge, inate the wing to the recommended psi:
sizes: 2.2/2.8/3.6: 8-10 psi, sizes: 4.6/5.3: 7-9 psi, sizes: 6.0/6.8 : 6-8 psi
F) Remove pump nozzle from SureLock Valve and tighten the cap by turning it clockwise to the
closed position.
G) Close the velcro cover over the SureLock Valve.

DEFLATING THE WING
A) Loosen the SureLock Valve by turning cap counter clockwise to the open position.
B) To release air from the leading edge and struts, push button in and turn approximately 90 degrees
so it is in the “IN” position.
USING THE PADDLE HOLDER
It is possible to take a paddle with you when going wingsurng in order to be able to come back to
shore if the wind dies. To do so, lay your paddle onto the center strut and connect it to the handles
using the three Velcro straps attached to the handles.

LEADING EDGE BLADDER REPLACEMENT
LEADING EDGE BLADDER REPLACEMENT
A) Slide the black locking collar away from the ination/deation valve and up the orange hose.
B) Pull the orange hose off of the valve. This may take a bit of force, but is necessary to eliminate risk
of unwanted detachment.
C) Push the valve down into the Leading Edge. This may take some effort - start in one corner and
work your way around the entire valve.
D) Use the wrench provided (in the spare parts kit located in the Naish Wing-Surfer bag) to loosen
and remove the cap off of the ination/deation valve.
E) Unzip the zipper to access the bladder, reach your hand inside the Leading Edge and pull the
bottom part of the inate/deate valve off of the velcro ring.
F) Open up the bladder lock ends on wing tips and attach a line to both ends of the bladder.
G) Pull the bladder out through the zipper.
H) Lay the new bladder out cleanly, making sure there are no folds or twists in the bladder.
I) Feed the bladder through the zipper with the valves orientated in the right way. Using baby powder
can help the bladder slide in easily.
J) Pull the line from the wing tips to get the bladder back in the wing.
K) Pull the valve up through the valve hole. This may take some strong pulling to ensure it is
seated correctly.
L) Put your hand inside of the Leading Edge, through the zipper and re-attach the velcro to the bottom
part of the ination/deation valve.
M) Using the wrench on the outside of the Leading Edge, tighten the cap of the ination/deation
valve back to its original position.
N) Close the zipper.
O) Close the bladder locks on the wing tips.
P) Slide the orange hose back on to the valve. Wetting the hose with water can help it slide on easily.
Q) Slide the black locking collar back over the orange hose and valve, making sure it is securely
attached with no spaces between the valve and locking collar.

SIZE SELECTOR
The Wing-Surfer is an amazingly simple and versatile device. The original Wing-Surfer only came in
one size, a “one size does it all” concept. As the sport is rapidly progressing, riders want to explore
lighter winds, stronger winds, and varying levels of performance in all wind conditions. Thus the
introduction of the Wing-Surfer MK3 which now comes in seven different sizes ranging from 2.2
square meters up to 6.8 square meters. The wind range of the smaller sizes is nearly endless, while
the larger the wing gets, the more power it makes…and thus the larger sizes will certainly have a limit
to how much wind one can reasonably and safely ride in. In general, skill level being equal, a smaller
and lighter rider in fteen knots of wind will require a smaller wing than a 200 lb rider in the same wind
conditions. We recommend beginners of any weight to learn on a wing of 4.6 meters or smaller before
potentially moving up to a larger size wing.
The larger the wing, the more skill will be required to ride it, regardless of wind strength. For most
people in most places, the 4.6 will be the “go-to size” for a one-wing-does-it-all solution.
Max wind speed
2.2 - 5 to 30+ knots
2.8 - 5 to 30 knots
3.6 - 5 to 25 knots
4.6 - 5 to 22 knots
5.3 - 5 to 20 knots
6.0 - 5 to 15 knots
6.8 - 5 to 12 knots

WING CARE
Do not leave your wing in direct sunlight or uttering in the wind for long periods of time when not in
use. Doing so may damage the canopy material.
Do not leave your wing inated on hot surfaces such as asphalt or sand for long periods of time. Doing
so may damage the bladders.
Avoid contact with sharp objects such as hydrofoil wings, rocks, coral, sticks and other debris which
can puncture the wing.
Do not leave your wing near shore break waves. Shore break waves can cause serious damage to
your wing.
Do not allow the leading edge to bend backwards.
Do not allow sand and/or water to get in your bladders. If you have to deate the wing on the water,
close the valve immediately afterwards to prevent water from entering the bladders.
Never store your wing wet. Doing so may cause the canopy colors to bleed. Mildew may also occur.
Only pack your wing away after it is completely dry.
Never store your wing in hot temperatures (over 40ºC or 104ºF) for example in a hot car. Doing so may
severely damage your bladders.
This is an inatable object and must be handled with care.
When you fall, avoid falling on the wing and make sure that you let go of the handles to avoid
damaging your wing.
To avoid over stressing the wing, do not ride overpowered.
When drying the wing, ensure that the strut bladder cannot fall back toward the trailing edge of the
wing. Lay your wing at to dry to avoid shifting of the strut bladder.
