ENSIS DRIVE: don’t wait for stronger wind

When the wind is light, efficiency matters.

The new ENSIS DRIVE is a high-performance light wind wing developed for riders who want to maximize every session. Combining a lightweight hybrid Dacron construction, efficient 3-strut design and intuitive boom handling, the DRIVE delivers early take-offs, smooth power delivery and remarkable control even in marginal conditions.

Designed for intermediate to expert riders, the DRIVE helps you get on foil sooner, stay on the water longer and enjoy effortless riding when others are still waiting for wind.

Designed for light wind performance

The DRIVE has been developed specifically to perform in light wind conditions.

Its efficient 3-strut construction allows larger wing sizes while maintaining a compact wingspan and balanced handling. The result is a wing that generates powerful low-end performance in your hands.

The compact outline, combined with a high-lift profile, helps riders build speed efficiently and get onto the foil with minimal effort.

Key Features

• Optimized for light wind conditions

• Powerful low-end performance

• Compact design with shorter wingspan

• Easy and efficient take-offs

• Balanced handling across all sizes

Lightweight construction: less fatigue, more time on the water.

One of the defining characteristics of the DRIVE is how light it feels for its size.

The hybrid leading-edge construction combines stiff Dacron in the central sections with lighter Dacron in the wingtips. This significantly reduces swing weight while maintaining the rigidity needed for efficient power transfer.

The result is easier handling, less strain on the arms and a wing that feels surprisingly manageable even during long sessions.

As multiple-time world champion Antoine Albeau describes it:

The ENSIS DRIVE 8 m² is remarkably light for its size and delivers an outstanding power-to-weight ratio, getting you up and flying incredibly early in the lightest winds”.

Key Features

• Hybrid Dacron leading edge

• Reduced swing weight

• Remarkably lightweight handling

• Reduced arm fatigue

• Excellent power-to-weight ratio

Easy handling, even in larger sizes

Large wings often become challenging when manoeuvring close to the water.

The DRIVE addresses this through a carefully developed boxy outline and increased arc angle that help keep the wingtips clear of the water surface.

Combined with the boom design, riders benefit from intuitive hand placement, effortless transitions and confident one-handed riding.

The result is a light wind wing that remains easy and enjoyable to handle, even in larger sizes.

Key Features

• Boom design for intuitive control

• Seamless hand transitions

• Comfortable one-handed riding

• Boxy outline

• Increased arc angle for wingtip clearance

Smooth, consistent power in every condition

The DRIVE's 3-strut design helps maintain a clean and stable canopy profile across a broad wind range.

This creates smooth and efficient power delivery, making larger wing sizes feel controlled and predictable rather than overpowering.

Even when the wind increases, the additional side struts help stabilize the canopy and maintain its shape, giving riders confidence to stay on the water longer without changing equipment.

Key Features

• Smooth power delivery

• Stable canopy profile

• Efficient aerodynamic performance

• Excellent control in changing conditions

• Broad usable wind range

Why Choose the ENSIS DRIVE?

Light wind sessions often require larger wings, but larger wings should not feel heavy, difficult or tiring to ride.

The ENSIS DRIVE combines a lightweight hybrid Dacron construction, efficient 3-strut design and intuitive boom handling to create a wing that feels remarkably manageable while delivering impressive low-end power and early lift.

Whether you're looking to extend your season, maximize marginal conditions or simply spend more time foiling, the DRIVE is built to help you get flying sooner and stay out longer.
