Reedin SuperNatural SSD 2026 Wing | Light-Wind Wingfoiling Wing

The SuperNatural SSD is Reedin's answer to a genuinely hard engineering problem: how do you make a 7.2 or 8.2 m wing behave like something much smaller? The answer is Short Span Design — longer struts and additional side struts create a boxy, high-dihedral wingtip that keeps the tips out of the water and the leverage off your arms, even at massive wing areas. The result is your ticket to riding the days everyone else sits out. Available in Blue and Black; 7.2 m from £1,049, 8.2 m from £1,079.

Who It's For

Riders who want to fly in genuinely light wind — typically 8–14 knots — and anyone 85 kg+ who finds large standard wings unwieldy to handle. The SSD is also popular with riders who want to squeeze every possible session day out of marginal forecasts, and those learning in lighter UK coastal conditions where a 6.5 m isn't quite enough. It's not a beginner wing — you need to be water-starting reliably before stepping up to something this size. If you already fly a 5.5–6.0 SuperNatural and want to extend your bottom end, a 7.2 or 8.2 SSD completes the quiver perfectly.

Key Features

• Short Span Design (SSD) — longer strut plus side struts create a boxy, compact wingspan from massive area; makes an 8.2 m wing manageable and manoeuvrable
• Three-strut configuration — centre strut plus two side struts for rigidity and the distinctive boxed wingtip shape
• Increased dihedral — wingtips angle away from the water; prevents strikes even for shorter or lighter riders on large wings
• Aerolite Frame Technology — High Tenacity Polyester LE and struts; stiffer and lighter than standard Dacron
• Vectran UD stringers — elongation-resistant for long-term shape retention
• 100% vertical canopy seams — every seam is load-bearing and shape-stiffening
• 118 cm ErgoCarbon boom — 100% pre-preg carbon; new length for 2026 matched to the larger SSD sizes
• Up to 200 g lighter than 2025 — improved profile, outline and seam layout
• Controllable in rising wind — tuned canopy profile stays stable when the breeze fills in so you don't have to come in early

Real-World Feel

The SSD doesn't feel like an 8.2 m wing — that's the whole point. The shortened span means less leverage on your arms, and the high-dihedral tips sit comfortably clear of the chop. Power builds smoothly and progressively; none of the surge you might expect from a wing this size. In a typical West Kirby or Wallasey 10-knot session it generates clean, consistent power that keeps you on foil without constant re-pumping. When a gust arrives you depower with a wrist twist rather than a wrestling match. Session days that weren't possible on a 6.0 m suddenly are.

Setup and Fit

Push-and-click 118 cm ErgoCarbon boom — no tools. Three-strut design means three inflation points: LE first, then centre strut, then both side struts. Reedin recommends approximately 8 PSI. Size guide: 7.2 m is the versatile choice for most riders up to around 90 kg in light wind; 8.2 m suits heavier riders or those chasing the absolute lowest bottom end. Message us with your weight, foil and local spot for a specific recommendation.

Materials

• Leading edge & struts (×3): High Tenacity Polyester (Aerolite Frame Technology)
• Canopy: Polyester with load-bearing vertical seams
• Stringers: Vectran UD inside the leading edge
• Windows: Army-grade clear film, weight and stretch matched to canopy
• Boom: 100% pre-preg ErgoCarbon, 118 cm, with pistol grip

Size Guide

Wind ranges are indicative. The SSD is tuned to stay stable when the breeze fills in beyond these ranges — it won't overpower you instantly when a 15-knot gust arrives.

Why We Stock It

The north-west coast has plenty of 10-knot days where a standard wing quiver leaves you sitting on the beach watching the water. The SSD changed that for us and our customers. The Short Span Design is genuinely clever engineering, not a marketing concept — it's a real solution to the problem of making massive wing area manageable. We stock it because riders who buy it come back to tell us how much it changed their riding, and because we ride it ourselves on the light days at West Kirby when everything else stays in the bag. If you're serious about maximising your session days, you need something like this.
