The Naish Kite Foil Front Wing 980’s planform, traced from Naish’s own plan-view photograph.
The Kite Foil Front Wing runs 3 sizes, 650–980 cm², and changes proportion as it grows: aspect ratio runs 4.2 at one end of the range to 6.3 at the other, so its sizes differ in shape as well as in area.
Its 640 mm span is 33% narrower than typical for the area — the median across the 133 current wings within 10% of its size is 950 mm.
Closest wings from other brands
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.
