That might be the most dihedral I've ever seen. Look forward to the reviews.

I saw a guy on a 6m Aluula, it was 15 to maybe 20kn and very gusty and he looked very much in control.
I had a hold of it on land and it felt very light and rigid, possibly a bit smaller than other 6ms. The strut at a very exagerated angle compared with my Duotone dlab.

The ad mentions that the dihedral has been 'reduced' on the new 2025 ADX.

Have they changed the handles over the previous ADX?

The 2025 front handle is longer than the 2024. It can be used as you would a boom.

Thanks Do you know if the handles are more spaced out from the strut. The old ADX handles were quite close to the strut compared to most hard handle wings and I was hoping they might have increased the gap this year?

I have a 2024 ADX N-Vision,in which I was pretty excited to try.
i have currently used it 3 times in various conditions from flat water to waves and wind varying 10 -15 Knots.
yes it is light ,Yes it is quite ridged and yes it does luff out quite well as it should.
However i find it extremely tiring to use on both arms having to sheat in so heavily and consistently.
what i find is that my hand position on the handles is near the back ,un like my other wings.
Up wind i find it struggles and once again Very exhausting .
I understand that they are built more so for waves .
However the exaggerated Dihedral and does not helped the over all performance.
I'm glad that they have changed the 2025 model a little ,but for the cost of the N-vision not for me.
unfortunatley not a fan if i compare it to other brands in the same class.
On A good note ,unlike a lot of people I really like there Ha2 Foils.

Hey Willp,

Thanks for sharing your experiences. I 100% agree with the weight, frame rigidity, and awesome flagging. But must say I am surprised with your upwind and loading experience. Like most things in design, one aspect to advance a characteristic usually does affect another in some way, and whilst the wing definitely has a positive feel, I find it incredibly fast and easy to go upwind. I also am thinking about your hand positions, and must say I rarely have my rear hand all the way unless going for hangtime in jumps. The ADX wings love to breathe, it is easy to over sheet them accidentally and thus increase pressure but reduce performance (particularly upwind). I generally have my hands about one hand space back from the front of the handles (i.e. about 10cm), then I make slight adjustments mainly with my back hand depending on angle and pressure, often bringing it forwards, but also back a little (never really all the way back for riding).
Moving swiftly and letting the wing breathe is important, also adjusting the power angle to foil can greatly help upwind performance (bring the wing aft/back like your windsurfing). Twist your hips and open up your shoulders.
I hope time on your new NVision becomes second nature soon with a few more sessions. It is an awesome wing for sure

Ride safe,

JB

I had my first session on the 6m NVision yesterday in marginal 8 to 10kn ( coming off the 6m Matador and 4m ADX ), and using the HA1040 foil.
I grabbed the 6m NVision to fill the hole above the 4m ADX and cover up to my Wingsurfer MK IV 7.5m in light conditions.
Pumping action is different to the Matador, but once up and flying, the wing feels very good in hand and even in light conditions, flagged well and I had no backwind problems in transition. I think it's just a matter of adapting technique to the behaviour of the wing.

Originally I wasn't sold on the hard handles of the ADX, but now after getting used to them, they feel right.
