I've been using the ADX 6M quite a bit lately. It's really a great wing. I was surprised how good it's been in the surf, a lot of it is probably due to the great front handle which is comfy but super stiff. Great upwind, lots of power, and fairly light, which surprised me. On the scales, it was right in the middle of my North Nova 3 and North Mode. Knit picking, I'd like the handles just a tad larger in diameter but then again, I don't wear gloves but 2-3X's a year. It'll be cool when they come out w carbon handles. Also, I'm not a fan of windows on almost all the brands I've tried. Almost...useless, I always lift and look first. Might as well save the weight. I know..its a personal thang!
Great wing, well priced. It's a keeper. I almost forgot, this is one of the best tacking and jibing wings I've ever been on. It's crazy how it almost completes the tack for you. Wing just flips to the other side.

PS. I forgot to add, it has a super tight canopy and lots of dihedral. Pluses are that hitting wingtips doesn't happen much and it's response to your input is immediate. Some of the secret to the tacks being crazy easy. Because it's crisp and tight, it likes a racing pump and not a soft canopy passive pump to come up on foil. So it wouldn't be my first choice for a beginner. Also w the dihedral, like many of the wings out there, it'll flip pretty easy on the water if unattended. So not ideal for a complete beginner. However, I think it's the dihedral, shaping and tight canopy that make the jibes and tacks so easy.

Hey, DJ,
Any idea when does the ADX come out in Aus?
Pretty sure they are available..
I think most of the first shipment has been sold but I've heard a new shipment is due soon.. JB will know.
DJ is correct, the first shipment has arrive and been sent out to the awesome dealer network. A lot have sold immediately, but if you get in touch with your dealer, there is the odd one on the shelf (if you're lucky).
Next batch we are hoping to have here soon!!
Foils are in stock now, as are the new Hover Ascend Wing boards.
You can check out more deets on naish.com or we are constantly updating our website windgenuity.com.au
Plenty of amazing deals to be had on S26 and S27 gear also!!!
Ride safe,
JB

JB....re: the new foils. The dilemma I have, and possibly others, is where the new HA fits into the existing HA line up.
I need to decide whether to go with the 840, 1040 or 1240.
Assuming you've ridden a few of the new foils, any points that would make that decision easier or one foil 'better' than the other. I'll be riding with the wing in the usual NSW south coast bumps and swells.
