Surfladle

The ENSIS Wings from Switzerland. Their last two Wings have been very successful due to their incredible low end power and overall power range. The current Freeride/style/wave wing is the Score which improved greatly over its predecessor by gaining 4 window panels, which are very useful when you are riding 'out of control' as a Newcomer (the Spin only carries two window panels)! The Score has a great wind range. Its Low end power is immense but feeds in gradually and its stability does not 'lack' even when severely overpowered (and it does not fold!). So do you buy a Score or a Spin? If you come from a windsurfing background think of it as the Score is a 5 batten sail and the Spin a 4 batten. You could also compare them by saying that the Score is a High Aspect Wing (reasonably quick to lift but has a good top speed once going) whereas the Spin is more of a low aspect Delta Wing (really fast to lift but does not like gaining too much speed).

This is the Score description by Ensis..

 

The SCORE is for everyone who wants to feel pure passion on the water – from discoverers to the pro. The ENSIS wings are well-known for their high performance and the SCORE will amaze you with its power and stability. It will get you foiling in barely any wind while staying extremely stable and controllable even in the stormiest conditions. The aspect ratio of each size has been specifically designed to provide both great power, for starts and upwind performance, and uncompromised manoeuvrability. 

 

So why buy a Spin when the Score does it all? The Spin is specifically designed to be used for free styling and for waves where you want the wing to go very neutral when flagging (letting it fly above or beside you using one hand)  and you need a more compact wing tip shape to limit catching and drag. This is the Spin description by Ensis... 

 

The SPIN is a high performance wing for all present and future wing enthusiasts longing to do unlimited tricks and ride waves. The compact wing concept of the SPIN with the short wing span and the wide wing tips provides easy handling from the flight take off to the wildest flip rotations. The connected strut design results in an amazingly direct response making your moves more efficient, leaving you with more power for more actions. While starting, the wing feels very light in your hands. Once flying, the SPIN develops an immediate power for any trick you’re learning and any wave you’re riding. Experts love the SPIN, as well as ambitious discoverers learning their first flights and gybes.

 

So the Spin will suit riders ready to deal with 'instant' power for aerial tricks or to catch the small wave that is just in front of you.. it may also suit shorter riders who have problems with the higher aspect ratio wings, as per the Score, catching their wing tips on the water.
