The Zephyr Wing V2 - CZ Edition -
After the great success of the first Zephyr and the very positive feedback, we multiplied the prototypes and worked hard on the development to release an extraordinary V2. Being very close to our users we were able to collect all the feedback from our customers and riders in order to release a sail that is close to perfection.
The Zephyr Wing V2 - CZ Edition is the combination of the best materials available on the market. This gives it a stunning lightness while keeping the key word of Zephyr designs: robustness and durability.
With a weight ranging from 2.45 kg* for the 6m to 1.76 kg* for the 3.5m, the CZ Edition was developed to seek maximum lightness while keeping a robust and durable material over time. The 30% Dyneema / 70% CZ structure and canopy provides rigidity for a direct feeling that is very appreciable in surfing, freestyle and racing.
Its interchangeable handles allow you to choose between soft, semi-rigid, 100% rigid handles or even the carbon wishbone.
Welcome to the era of next-generation wings !
What's new on the La Zephyr V2 ?
The V2 version of our all-purpose wing The Zephyr features several improvements such as:
-
reduced leading edge and central strut diameters to save weight but also aerodynamic flow,
-
slight increase in the dihedral in order to gain in low range,
-
SUP type valves,
-
modifying the tensions in the canopy in order to have better pumping in the start-up phases,
-
new extra-light bladder attachment system,
-
a dacron reinforcement system which stiffens the entire wing and better holds the profile,
-
weight of V2 reduced compared to V1,
-
2 possible Dyneema colors (white or black),
-
2 possible canopy colors (white or black-coming soon).
Program of the Zephyr V2 - CZ Edition ?
The CZ Edition is a version of the Zephyr with a canopy made of 30% 34 gr Dyneema and 70% 72 gr CZ from Dimension Polyant. The shape and design of the wing are exactly the same for all 3 versions (Full Dyneema / CZ Edition / ZL Edition).
The CZ Edition is the ultimate all-round wing. The CZ canopy provides ideal rigidity for jumps, freestyle, but also racing and speed. Despite the 72 gr/m2 of the CZ, the overall weight of the wing remains very competitive and allows for a very high-performance wing for surfing and freeflying. It's the ultimate versatile wing !
The CZ Edition program is therefore versatility. Whether you are a surfer, freestyler, slalomer and whatever your weight, the Zephyr V2 - CZ Edition is the ideal high-end wing.
The system for holding the leading edge bladder has also been modified. The zippers have been removed to save weight and the bladder is held by a mini-leash on either side of the wing. The system is ultra-light and further reduces the weight of the Zephyr.
The Zephyr Wing V2 is available with a choice of white or black Dyneema leading edge and central strut. The canopy is only available in black.
Due to its exceptional mechanical properties, Dyneema deforms very little. It follows that an inflation pressure of 7 PSI is sufficient to obtain a very rigid wing. The mechanical properties of Dyneema are exactly the same and do not differ depending on the color.
Possible handle options:
It is possible to order your Zephyr Wing with:
- soft handles,
- semi-rigid handles,
- 100% rigid handles,
- the carbon wishbone but without inserts in the middle. You can no longer put handles but the wing is also lighter because there are no 2 inserts in the middle and the corresponding internal reinforcements.
- The carbon wishbone but with the 2 inserts in the middle. This option allows you to navigate with the wishbone but also to put soft, semi-rigid or 100% rigid handles. When mounting the wishbone, the 2 inserts in the center are hidden with dedicated covers.
- Deflate Wing paddle attachments for those who want to Deflate with their Zephyr Wing.
Versatile.
By definition, winging is a cool sport with flawless simplicity. That's why we worked to release a model that is good in all conditions and disciplines.
​
After testing dozens of prototypes of different shapes , we converged on a curvature, a dihedral and a profile that allows us to satisfy a maximum number of riders whatever the conditions.
​
An excellent low range but without being untenable in strong winds, a thinner leading edge but not too thin either so as not to reach excessive inflation pressures, light but robust at the same time... in short, you will have understood, we are convinced that a good wing is a wing that can do everything and which can cover a maximum of conditions.
High-end materials.
The wing structure (leading edge and central strut) is entirely made of Dyneema CT5K.18 in 100 gr/m2. This noble material brings incredible rigidity to the wing structure because it does not stretch with the pressure of the bladder.
The CZ canopy is cut in a way to absorb the stresses applied on the wing. The polyester reinforcements greatly increase the durability of the canopy. In the event of foil crashes in the canopy, the tear does not propagate and remains contained between 2 polyester fibers.
Dacron reinforcement which stiffens the entire wing.
The Zephyr Wings V2 comes with a new stiffness increase system in the wing. We have placed 8 Oz Dacron strips along the leading edge as well as all along the central strut. This helps to strongly maintain the overall profile of the wing and the stiffness of the leading edge as well as the central strut is increased at equal inflation pressure.
New boom attachment system.
A new system consisting of a slide and an M6 torx screw allows the carbon wishbone to be disassembled and assembled in no time. It is therefore possible to assemble paddle attachments or rigid handles very quickly, or to disassemble its carbon boom to optimize transport.
​
This new slide system is not compatible with soft and semi-rigid handles.

Soft, semi-rigid, 100% rigid handles or boom... the choice is yours !
Our handle fixing system allows you to change the type of handle used very quickly. An 8 socket wrench or a torx wrench identical to the one used on your and you're done in 5 minutes! More freestyle or slalom ? Or even a former windsurfer ? Use the carbon wishbone on your Zephyr Wing. The comfort and ease of navigation provided for the boom is phenomenal ! Are you looking for the ideal wing for surfing? Opt for the soft or semi-rigid handles and lighten your wing for an even more sensational freefly !
The Zephyr Wing comes standard with rigid handles. It is possible to replace them with soft, semi-rigid handles or the wishbone. It is also possible to order the wing with wishbone only without the 2 middle inserts for handles.
100% Made In France.
By purchasing a Zephyr Wing you are supporting the local economy. In order of the manufacturing process, here is the French production chain:
-
the materials are laser cut by a partner in La Rochelle,
-
the fabrics are glued and sewn by 3 independent workshops in the south of France,
-
the bladders are made in Trappes by Michelin,
-
the insignia logos are made by a French company,
-
the bags are made in France by an independent workshop,
-
3D parts are made in France,
-
sewing machines are purchased in French stores,
-
All haberdashery (thread, double-sided rolls, insignia, needle) is purchased from a company based in France.
Undyed fabrics.
The fabrics on our wings are kept as they left the factory and are therefore not painted or dyed. All types of Dyneema® used retain their original appearance, highlighting their natural color.
​
The same eco-friendly approach is used for the ZL02 Aramid Black, where no logo is painted.
​
This strategic choice is in line with our values and allows us to drastically reduce the consumption of water, energy and CO2 emissions.
A sustainable wing.
At Zephyr Wing, we are aware of the environmental impact that our sport and our passion have. This is why we manufacture our sails in France as close as possible to the user and we source as much as possible with materials manufactured in Europe. The CO2 footprint of our wings is thus significantly lower compared to another wing on the market.
We are proud to be the only brand to master the wing manufacturing in France.
Recycled plastic parts.
All 3D printed parts are manufactured in France by specialized French companies.
These pieces use 100% post-industrial recycled materials incorporated. This initiative not only helps reduce plastic waste, but also supports the circular economy by reusing existing materials.
Bio-based Dyneema®.
Dyneema® is bio-based, which means that part of its composition comes from natural material. By recovering waste from the wood and pulp industries, these bio-based raw materials are mixed with fossil raw materials in the manufacturing process to produce ethylene.
​
Bio-based Dyneema® has the lowest carbon footprint per unit of strength compared to other synthetic fibers.
A sustainable product.
With the choice of using Dyneema® "The Zephyr Wing" we seek to develop a standard of durability on our products. Indeed with these noble materials, the structure of the wing deforms much less over time and it is therefore possible to keep it much longer than a classic wing. In addition, the design of the Zephyr sails is made to use an inflation pressure of around 7 PSI which is not excessive and also contributes to the longevity of the product.
We are therefore pushing for a responsible consumption model where the user keeps their sail for a long time and does not replace it every season.
