With an influx of new wings entering the market and all claiming to be much better than older models, is it still worth considering buying a new A Wing?It made the buzz when released back in August but it seems no one is talking about them these days...

Looks similar to Ozone Wasp V2. Still a good wing, try to demo if you can.

I have 3.5 & 4.5 they're great wings for more advanced riders in my opinion. They don't have harness line attachments which I'd like to have. Like you said so many new choices I'd probably go with something new. Like Hilly said the new Ozone looks like a new and improved A-Wing.

I had a 5.5m A Wing.
Loved it!
Super powerful, well built etc.

But...it's heavy & it is prone to Back winding when over powered.

I transitioned to the F one Strike...wow.
I love how light it is.
And it never, ever not once back winds.

Disclaimer : I dig Armstrong gear, I have a full foil setup of 5 Armstrong foils...but have to admit, IMHO, that the Strike is better / for me...

The Wasp is designed by Rob Whittall (Part owner of Ozone). He is also a part owner of Armstrong. So both the Wasp and A-wing should be similar.
