Naish Wing Surfer ADX Review

In this episode of MACkiteboarding Wing Wednesdays, Tucker dives into the exciting new Naish ADX Wing for 2023. This Wing introduces a fresh design and innovative features that set it apart from previous Naish models. Tucker provides an in-depth review based on his experience riding the ADX Wing, highlighting its unique characteristics and performance.
The ADX Wing showcases multiple layers of Dacron fabric, strategically staggered for increased stiffness while maintaining a lightweight profile. Tucker discusses the benefits of this design and how it contributes to the overall performance of the Wing.
One of the notable changes in the ADX Wing is the introduction of new handles. Tucker examines these handles, emphasizing their stiffness, directness, and comfortable grip. He also shares his personal experience with the handle size, mentioning that individuals with larger hands or thicker gloves might find it a bit tight.
Moving on to other features, Tucker explores the wrist leash, hard handles, pump system, and canopy design of the ADX Wing. He highlights the strengths of each component and provides insights into their functionality and durability.
Throughout the review, Tucker expresses his enthusiasm for the ADX Wing, stating that it is his favorite Naish Wing to date. While acknowledging the exceptional performance of the Matador and Matador LT models, he believes that the ADX unlocks more freeride potential and offers greater user-friendliness. Tucker mentions its improved behavior and predictability in challenging and gusty high-wind conditions, making it suitable for a wider range of riding styles.
However, he also notes that the ADX Wing can be a bit finicky with regard to sail angle. It requires finding the optimal position to maximize its potential and avoid overheating. Tucker shares tips on adapting to the sail angle and emphasizes the importance of maintaining it for optimal performance.
In terms of design and features, Tucker expresses his preference for isolated bladders for inflation, although the ADX Wing does not offer this feature. He also provides feedback on the handles, praising their grip and comfort while suggesting room for improvement in terms of shape and ergonomics.
Overall, Tucker concludes that the ADX Wing is a significant step forward for Naish, delivering a rigid, stable, and versatile Wing suitable for various riding styles. He highlights the wing's direct and predictable feel, thanks to the new Dacron layout and stiff design, which transfers well through the handles. Tucker notes that while it may not be as well-balanced as the Matador, the ADX Wing still performs admirably in the waves.
