Hi!
I've been windsurfing for many years and like the idea of hard handles and the reduced wingspan. Been thinking about a 6m together with axis png 1150 for light days. for you who have used this wing, how do you like it?

Thanks

Been riding the Nova V1 for a year which is a great wing and built with super quality. We go 3-4x/week, so our wings get a lot of use. The North still looks new and nothing has broken, except the hole my HA wing put through the 3.5.

Got to test the V2 Nova for 3 weeks. WOW! so much better! The handles are very comfortable and great for transitions, can one hand the wing by holding lower on the first handle. Handles are oval so fits the hand really well. Two handles > bunch of loops. Can easily move hands around to better control the power.

The new shape makes the 5M about the same width as my v1 4.2m. New shape also goes upwind so much better. I rode the 3.5 v1 and v2 back to back. With the v2, I got so much more upwind than the v1 which was already very good. More power overall. I was able to ride a size down. In conditions where I would be using the 4.2m I was riding the 3.5m. So you might want to check out the 5m.

Would totally recommend the V2, I got a new quiver lined up, as soon as I can sell of my v1's.

yep, +1 for Nova 2. Im very happy with the performance of the 5M. I think the air frame is pretty stiff and I like the handles. I think the handles could be a lot shorter, but then you would lose the ability to fly it one handed. Im excited to see the new racier version they have been testing. I ride on a gusty lake. Bias towards North because of sailing experience.

Hows the weight on the v2? The v1 was pretty stout from what I understand.
