Interviewee: Joshua Pretorius, Marketing
How was the 2025 market?
The market was strong, with noticeably higher demand for wings that offer better performance. Riders are looking for products that are lighter, more responsive, and easy to handle in a variety of conditions.
What are the main trends in wing construction, materials, and design?
The main trends are focused on high-performance materials and overall lighter construction. Riders want wings that feel easy to handle without sacrificing power or durability.
What customer profile is driving the most product demand at the moment?
Intermediate and progressing riders are currently driving demand. The overall skill level of the market is rising quickly, and riders are looking for equipment that supports their progression.
Which of your 2025 wings have sold best and why?
The SCORE 3 has been our top-selling wing. It’s highly accessible, features rigid handles for better control, and is extremely light while delivering excellent performance. Riders appreciate how easy it is to fly, whether cruising or pushing their limits.
How many wing designs will you offer in S/S 2026, and which do you expect to grow the most?
For 2026, our lineup includes the TOPSPIN and TOPSPIN ACE, which join the SCORE 3, SCORE 3 Limited Edition, and our lightwind wing, the DRIVE. We expect the TOPSPIN models to see strong growth, as the demand for boom wings is rapidly growing.
What materials and construction techniques are you using for your S/S 2026 range?
The SCORE and TOPSPIN wings use lightweight DACRON, providing a solid balance of weight, feel, and durability. Our ALUULA-based wings, the SCORE Limited Edition and DRIVE, use a hybrid ALUULA and ALUULA AERIS layup, making them extremely light while maintaining stiffness. The TOPSPIN ACE introduces DYNEEMA, which has amazing rigidity and performance properties while being lightweight.
Any noteworthy efforts towards sustainability?
We are reducing plastic wherever possible. For example, our boards now ship in cardboard packaging instead of plastic, helping to minimize waste.
How will you support retailers to sell your S/S 2026 wings?
We focus on driving demand through marketing and visibility, ensuring products are attractive and easy to sell. We also offer direct-from-production fulfillment and stock availability from our European warehouses, making it simple for retailers to access our equipment.

ENSIS JIVE:
The JIVE midlength board is one of the most versatile shapes in our range. It lifts onto the foil with minimal effort, giving riders early starts even in light wind. Thanks to the forward foil box and standing position, it rides with the agility of a much smaller board. Accessible, well-balanced, and extremely popular,, the JIVE is highly recommended.
