My 5m Smik is also 2.24kg.
So far the only 5m that felt lighter (didnt weight it) is the Slingshot V3

Have you tried the BRM Clouds, they are super light like their kites.
But if any breeze holding them up does it matter to most of us?

I certainly notice the weight of a wing when riding downwind on swell. Light is right in that situation. When a wave breaks on you it can have disadvantages. Fine line

anyone got a new unit yet care to feedback.. is it all about the new handles?

Sorry missed your post Warwick.No I haven,t tried them. I live in Europe and unfortunately BRM doesn't ship our way. Pitty because I would love to try one.Personally I think profile is way more important as weight and from helping testing windsurf sails in the past I know you can make a proper "heavy" design feel light and or a light design feel heavy when done wrong, but when you are flagging the wing a heavier wing will drop quicker at slower gliding speed.

@Relapse: it might be possible but you need reinforce the strut to fix them on. Would be a fun project with an older wing and a couple of toilet/bath room wall grips :)

here are some weights of common wings.

they used a calibrated weight.

in germany the first batch of Unit 2022 arrived

im about to pull the trigger on a new board and new wings...my "local" shop has a a few new Units coming in next week that i could buy this week along with the new board and hopefully get a discount....Or alternatively i await new stock a CWC 6/7 and a new v2 Strike 4 or 5....but that wont be for 6-8 weeks maybe...by which time the units will have gone.
