Flysurfer TAO - 5.2m Rigid Handles - Ex Demo
This is an ex demo Flysurfer TAO 5.2m wing with Rigid Handles. It is in great condition and has barely been used. It is a really versatile wing with plenty of performance. Taken to the podium of the GWA tour it delivers in the waves and for freestyle.
The TAO is the second generation of wing from Flysurfer and a great step up. The wing is smooth and balanced and fun to ride. Originally only shipping in a soft handle set up, there is now a rigid handle version too!

The TAO is perfectly aligned with your body!
Features
Forward-Swept Outline
The swept-forward wing design improves maneuverability by facilitating control and increasing agility. It supports reactivity and improves roll and lateral stability. The more forward mass and lightweight wingtips increase acceleration and playfulness and improve top-end control.
Advanced Tip-Flex
Advanced tip-flex causes controlled flexibility or bending in the wingtips. This concept enhances performance and improves the wing’s efficiency, especially during high-speed runs and maneuvering. By allowing controlled flexibility, the wingtips can absorb and dampen some dynamic forces and gust loads encountered during the session.
TAO SH Non-Slip Handles
The curved strut allows for an ergonomic hold of the handles to position the wrist neutrally to the arm. The non-slip handles have deep ribs and are oval-shaped, providing a comfortable, secure grip. Preventing the wing from slipping out of the user’s hands improves control and enables precise steering. Both features help reduce fatigue, which increases water time, allowing users to enjoy extended sessions without discomfort.
TAO RH Carbon Handles
Gain ultimate control with the ergonomic Carbon Handles. Covered by a non-slip EVA grip and tailored to the hand’s natural curvature, they provide a secure and comfortable hold. Guide the wing with incredible precision and receive continuous feedback to utilize every gust efficiently. Available in four sizes and perfectly fitted to the respective wing shape, the length of the Carbon Handles ranges from 240 mm to 520 mm.
