Well well well, this certainly is an interesting offering from PPC. Full double skin para with a trim/ brake line that gives it low end as good or better than a single skin. They are claiming crazy wind ranges 12-30+ knots for a 3.5m, 10-28 knots for a 4.5m !!! Also saying it should still pack away well. Sounds amazing! I don’t know if all these things are possible at the same time but it would be cool if they are.


Early on in winging PPC held back a bit then knocked it out of the park with their release of the Surge wing. The 3.8m v1 surge is still my most used and all time favourite wing. Although I never really invested in the much newer fancier wings because the Surge just kinda did what I needed it to do.


It looks like PPC are attempting to do the same thing with their release of the Orbit. They are later than most but have brought something totally different than what is currently available. It’s different enough that I personally would need to see a fair few independent reviews and rider feedback before I would invest in one. Prices are already up on OTB Marine and they are a couple hundred more than an ozone so definitely not cheap!


I certainly hope this wing can live up to the claims they are making because if it does it will really ( ok I’m gonna say it) Change the Game!!

Interesting concept but agree and will wait this one out a bit. Simon down here is a PPC dealer so may get a demo when they finally roll up.

I understand the advantages of a double skin but due to the fact I fall off in waves a bit the relaunch does worry me.

Yeah sheps gave me a go on his 777 hybrid the other day and the performance was epic. I did crash once though and had a bit of trouble getting the water out and relaunching it. Not a problem for the bumps I’m in but could be very messy in real waves..

I could see myself having a quiver with double skin or hybrid for UWDW and a low aspect single skin for waves and downwinders.
