S-family status: why the specs are still blank

Prototype REVSTAR-S speed front wing on the bench with no final markings

The dash is deliberate

Look at the S family on the wings page and you will see a dash where span and aspect ratio should be. That is not a missing field. Those wings are in active iteration, and publishing a number today that changes next month helps nobody — least of all the rider who buys a mast length around it.

Speed gear punishes premature certainty

On an allround wing, a 10 mm change in span is a tuning detail. On a speed wing it is the difference between a planform that holds at 30 knots and one that ventilates. The S family lives in a narrow window, and the only honest spec is the one that survives a full test season in the Gorge.

So when the numbers lock, they lock for the production run, not for a press release.

What we will say

  • Family intent: maximum top-end speed, smallest footprint in the range.
  • Three sizes: 390, 450, 550 — the number is nominal area in cm².
  • Connection: to be confirmed with the final geometry.
  • Construction: TRON-X, like the rest of the range.

What we will not say

Layup schedules, resin systems, fibre orientation, factory identity. Not now, not at launch. Those are how the wing is built; what you are buying is how it rides.

In the meantime

If speed is the goal today, the REVSTAR-R 600s is the smallest, fastest profile currently shipping. It is the wing most of our test riders are on while the S family finishes.

Questions

When will the REVSTAR-S speed wings be available?

When the production geometry locks. The 390 is in tow-testing, the 450 is on revision 3, and the 550 is entering layup. No date is published until all three are final.

What is the REVSTAR-S Speed Halo?

Speed Halo is OXZA's top-end speed family — the smallest, fastest front wings in the REVSTAR range, intended for high-wind wingfoil, windsurf-foil and kitefoil speed riding.
