Neilpryde Glide Swift Carbon Set

FAQ

Who is the Neilpryde Glide Swift Carbon Set suitable for?

According to the manufacturer, the Glide Swift Carbon Set is suitable for EVERYONE – from beginners to experts. The innovative Delta center section and high-aspect wings provide early and easy lift, making the foil easy to control even without perfect pumping technique. At the same time, it impresses at racing, wave, and freestyle events.

In which sizes is the Glide Swift Carbon Set available?

The set is available in several front wing sizes with 800, 1000, 1200, and 1450 cm² of surface area. This covers a wide range of applications – from agile wing foiling to early take-offs in light winds.

What is included in the delivery of the Glide Swift Carbon Set?

The set is delivered with a carbon front wing, matching back wing, carbon fuselage, and 85 cm long high-modulus carbon mast. The appropriate baseplate (DT, PB, or SP) must be ordered separately depending on the board.

How does the carbon fuselage differ from the aluminum version?

The carbon fuselage of the Glide Swift Carbon Set is designed for stiffness and maximum speed and does not fit on aluminum masts. Together with the carbon mast, it forms a particularly direct, stiff setup for high speeds and precise steering.

Is the Glide Swift Carbon system modular and compatible with other foils?

Yes, the entire Glide system is fully modular. Every front and back wing is compatible with all available fuselages, including legacy models. This allows the components to be combined or upgraded with other Neilpryde foil setups.

Which back wings are included with the Glide Swift Carbon Set?

Depending on the selected front wing size, different back wings are supplied: the new EF back wings (160 for size 8, 180 for sizes 10 and 12) with a slimmer profile for less drag and more speed, as well as the Swift back wing 270 for size 14.

For which applications is the Glide Swift Carbon Set recommended?

The set is designed for maximum versatility and is suitable for wing foiling, pump foiling, wave, and freestyle. The rounded wingtips reduce the risk of injury without compromising performance.

How do I properly care for and transport the Glide Swift Carbon foil?

Rinse the foil with fresh water after every session to remove salt and sand residue. Regularly check the screw connections on the mast, fuselage, and wings. For transport, a padded foil bag is recommended to protect the sensitive carbon parts from impacts.
