M1 RANGE RELEASE

PPC Foiling 2024

PPC Foiling has been working hard this 2024 season and the new M1 Wing Range is something to behold!

We’ve all heard something about the incredible performance characteristics of the original M1, now the range has been updated and extended from the M1 to include the M1-X and M1-L.

No other wing feels like the M1 Wing.

The standout feature of the M1 is the Dyneema Composite Fabric construction. This enables a reduction of the leading edge diameter by approximately 20% increasing efficiency by reducing drag. This also enables a 30% increase in strut pressure increasing rigidity and stiffness of feeling you get on the water. A bonus is improved stability.

“It’s apparent from the first moment you sheet in. The precise, responsive pump, the instant power delivery. On the foil before you know it and flying. But it’s not just the speed. It’s the feeling through your hands. Precise, smooth, like a refined blade.
You look up when a gust hits and the aerofoil remains perfect. No distortion, just a smooth even twist helping you convert the extra power into speed. Turning upwind is a genuine shock and awe moment. Height, speed and control like you’ve never experienced before.
First tack. Easy. Nicely gripped handle overhead. No flapping or fluttering, perfectly balanced. Sheet in on the other tack and you’ve barely slowed down, power on tap. Gybing is just as precise.
Downwind the M1 wing is weightless, yet you’re flying even at the lowest of angles. With the smooth power delivery somehow your foil feels more stable as you slice through the bumps. You feel confident to push harder than you ever have before.
Later you try a jump. Your new-found power translates into more lift, more elevation and yet a softer landing. Back at the beach. Exhilarated, you realise the M1 wing represents a monumental shift for wing foiling performance.” Sam Loader – PPC Foiling

Apart from a few tweaks in the canopy design and improvements in the blader retention in the strut, the big design change is the new reduced diameter full-carbon ergo handles, providing greater control and feel, especially for the smaller riders out there.

PPC Foiling M1-X Wing

Light as air, strong as steel.

If you have tried out the M1 but found it a bit heavy or grunty, you’ll LOVE the M1-X.  Designed with the same dynamic and efficient characteristics as the M1, the M1-X features a lighter canopy material, which reduces the overall weight of the wing and adds an element of forgiveness, while still retaining PPC’s signature stiff Dyneema frame.

The significant weight reduction allows the M1-X to flag out and park exactly where you want it while surfing the waves.  The reduced canopy weight, combined with PPC’s ultra-rigid frame and new full-carbon ergo boom handles, makes the M1-X a true standout in PPC’s range for those seeking pure performance.

Suited to:

This high-end, lightweight wing features a stiff frame, ideal for those seeking optimal performance in wave or freestyle use.

PPC Foiling M1-L Wing

A performance wing at a friendly price point.

PPC’s signature performance Dyneema material, used through the center of the leading edge (loading point), ensures rigidity is maintained, while the rest of the frame is constructed with Dacron to significantly reduce manufacturing costs. This approach allows PPC to offer a high-performing wing at a lower retail price.

If you’re looking for the best value without compromising on performance, the M1-L is for you. This model is also ideal for those new to wing foiling. The overall feel of this wing is slightly softer than the M1-X model, while still retaining the crisp, snappy, and super-tight canopy that PPC’s wings are renowned for. The M1-L is also equipped with our exclusive full carbon ergo-boom handles.

Suited to:

The M1-L is designed for those seeking high performance on a budget. It offers excellent value without sacrificing performance, making it ideal for newcomers to wing foiling as well as more experienced riders. This model will support your progression from beginner to expert.
