Family Instinct Brand’s category Entry Disciplines wing, sup, wake standard-modulus carbon plus · 2025-2026
The Instinct runs 6 sizes, 720–2,200 cm², and changes proportion as it grows: aspect ratio runs 5.0 at one end of the range to 8.4 at the other, so its sizes differ in shape as well as in area.
Its 960 mm span is 14% narrower than typical for the area — the median across the 76 current wings within 10% of its size is 1,112 mm.
Projected and flat area run 3–8% apart. A marked area is one whose brand does not state which it publishes, so a comparison inside the area tolerance may be comparing unlike figures.
