A Versatile Wing
What immediately stands out is its clear objective: The WFS-6 is a versatile wing. It builds on the WFS-5, an already popular model from last year, with several key improvements. Whether you're into freeride, downwind, or freefly, this wing will perfectly suit your needs.
Positioning in the Eleveight Range
Eleveight offers a comprehensive range of wings. Several models cater to a wide spectrum of riders.
The WFS-6 is an allround model. It targets the general public. It is also an affordable wing.
The WFS Pro is a high-end version featuring Aluula construction. This provides enhanced stiffness and lightness. It also offers high performance.
The GT3+ offers excellent neutrality on waves. This is an optimized version of the WFS with XTC TEC 2.0. It is a Front Wing primarily focused on freeride and high performance in waves.
Compared to the rest of the range, the WFS-6 stands out for its versatility without compromising on performance.
Sizes, Colors, and Packaging
The wing is available from 2m² to 6.5m², making it adaptable for all rider body sizes.
In addition to its many size options, the wing comes in three colors: Purple/White, Green/Grey and Blue/Grey.
The wing also comes with a complete package, including an integrated carbon boom, a robust transport bag, a repair kit, and a leash with a swivel to prevent tangles.
Technical Design and Materials
Eleveight has heavily focused on the wing's durability, with a Dacron Leading Edge, a quadruple ripstop canopy, and ripstop X6 reinforcements on high-stress areas like the Trailing Edge.
Thanks to its design, the WFS V6 is a stiff, stable, and durable wing, capable of maintaining its shape over time.
Lightweight and Simple
The WFS V6 features a universal SUP valve and a One Pump system. Inflation is quick and effortless.
This wing is one of the lightest in its class, with the 4 m² weighing in at just 1.95 kg, boom included.
Masterful Ergonomics
The included boom is a standout feature, designed with a slightly oval shape for excellent grip. The comfortable grip and well-thought-out diameter enhance your ride. The boom is made from carbon, which ensures quality and lightness. This stiffness is a valuable asset for performance.
Eleveight also revised the boom connection. The handles are incredibly ergonomic, with rounded sections at the elbow. This provides a superior grip and a stiff connection with zero lateral play. The boom delivers excellent handling, letting you enjoy long sessions without hand fatigue.
The wing surface determines the three available sizes: 88, 95, and 105 cm.
The WFS V6 also includes a freefly handle, which is softer and larger than the V5 for enhanced comfort. This handle maintains enough stiffness to control the wing during freefly.
On-Water Behaviour
The WFS V6 truly shines on the water, offering excellent stability during launch. It's also incredibly compact; even the 4.5 m² wing never gets in your way.
It's easy to pump at the start, making it accessible and requiring minimal physical effort. It generates power exceptionally well in light wind, allowing for quick take-offs.
Finally, it doesn't pull excessively in gusts and remains predictable. This makes it a sound, intuitive, and efficient wing.
Wind Range
The wind range is impressive, with excellent high-end performance. The wing handles strong winds exceptionally well.
The wing performs well across its standard sizes. It offers a good low end, even if it's not the absolute best on the market.
However, its compactness and high-end hold allow you to easily overpower it, which can extend its low-end range.
Maneuvers & Ride Feel
The wing self-supports during jibes, making the WFS-6 feel incredibly light. Tacks are fluid, the wing pivots effortlessly, and the boom provides very intuitive handling.
This wing is a must-have for riders who love linking maneuvers. The wing pivots from one tack to the other on its own. It's an easy and ideal wing for those learning maneuvers, and also for more experienced riders looking to have a blast.
Value for money
Priced between €889 and €999, the WFS-6 includes everything you need to ride except the pump. It offers one of the best value-for-money options on the market, especially for in-store sales, which is rare for such a well-equipped wing.
Conclusion
The Eleveight WFS-6 suits both beginner and advanced riders, whether you have a smaller or larger body size. This wing stands out for its versatility, the quality of its construction, its accessibility, and most importantly, the pure enjoyment it delivers.
It's the perfect wing for those who want to do it all with a single wing, without compromising on quality or budget.
