ULLMAN SAILS WINGS
The design of our Wings has been a new and exciting development. Inspired by the elements, our wings are designed for fun on water or land with minimum fuss. The revised 2021 Falcon and Osprey wing has been launched!
The OSPREY & FALCON offer intuitive power control. Simply said, the wings are fun whether you Skateboard, Ski, Snowboard, SUP, Windsurf or Foil board.

Our key focus with the Osprey was to design a Wing that is easy to handle. With this in mind, we wanted to excel on downwinders and waves riding. A stiff frame provides a stable platform, giving excellent power delivery when pumping. The rapid lift and acceleration lifts you up and onto the foil sooner. This has been achieved by finely tuning the leading edge diameter specifically
for each size. The medium aspect ratio and rounded wingtips keep the wing out the water and in the air, while giving a light flying sensation. Multiple handles offer intuitive hand placement on any tack. We’ve spent a lot of time getting the handles positioned perfectly. The handles themselves are constructed out of a UHMWPE cover with soft internal cushioning. The Handles are carefully placed and sized to allow for easy transitions. The front handle is spaced and sized to prevent overflying when transitioning, resulting in perfect control of the wing. We have incorporated harness loops on the handles for those wishing to use a harness. A handle on the leading edge offers easy handling if the wing becomes inverted, or for holding the wing in a wind neutral position. The small Y handles are placed to control the Yaw when jumping or when lifting up the wing from the water when launching. The Dihedral angle has been further refined to give and better airflow and canopy tension. This results in a much tighter canopy profile. We have improved the wind range dramatically of the wing.
We reduced the V-shape in the first two segments gives better tension. which then gets smoothed out to the sides, making the wing agile and stable. This stability comes to the forefront when flagging the wing and is a crucial control factor.
We also adjusted the leading edge diameter per segment and per size to a specific diameter. Then we developed and new split strut construction. The seam is placed on the apex of the leading edge fairing out towards the tips. The inside of the seam is reinforced a UHMWPE yarn. This increased the durability and supports the geometry of the wing.
We also introduced and specific leading-edge construction which takes the specific textile expansion and stresses of a wing into consideration. This reduces the chance of a leading-edge blow out as the seams are supported with enough material not to damage the textile. We recommend that you inflate all our wings to 8 PSI. This pressure reduces the negative flex of the wing which reduces panel to collapse. The direct result is a crisp and fast power delivery when pumping and maintaining control when over powered.
The handle is really the cockpit from where your input directly affects the wing flight.
Our brief was to make this as comfortable and user friendly as possible. To keep you in flight-mode as long and as comfortable as possible by reducing hand and arm fatigue over time. There is a lot of energy transfer happening here so we wanted to cushion your hands and wrists.
Large Windows provide an optimal view of your surrounding. The Windows are cut into the profile and improve the safety while on the water.
FALCON
Our Falcon wing gets its name from one of the most graceful birds of prey. Known for their high speeds and their ability to rapidly change of direction, we’ve designed our wing to mimic these characteristics.
The Falcon offers a stable draft in strong winds and a well balanced profile when transitioning. Our bar offers intuitive hand control and trim. The trim can be done by setting a deeper draft for light winds and a flatter profile for high wind speeds.
The leading edge is specifically designed for each size, offering a stable wing which offers maximum support when loading for a jump. We have managed to achieve a stable and stiff profile without the burden of battens by installing the in-fill profile support system.
HAWK
Our key focus with the Hawk was to design a Wing that is easy to handle for lighter and shorter people. An oversized frame creates a stable platform, giving good stability is gusts.
The low aspect ratio and rounded wingtip keep the wing out the water and in the air. Our re-enforced scuff patches keep the wing protected from your board or occasional ground strikes.
Multiple handles offer intuitive hand placement on any tack. We have covered our handles with neoprene cushioning which offer a comfortable grip even on extended sessions. We have incorporated harness loops on the handles for those wishing to use a harness. A handle on the leading edge offers easy handling if the wing becomes inverted, or for holding the wing in a wind neutral position. The Y-handles offer easy hand placement during transitions.
The Dihedral angle makes the wing stable in light and strong winds alike. Our leading-edge and strut geometry make it well suited for SUP riding as well as lower volume hydro-foiling boards.
