NKB the world biggest Kite brand and NorthSails market leader in Windsurfing rigs have joined forces to create the most innovative rig ever made. The outcome is what we call best of both worlds: incredible low weight and packing dimensions achieved through inflatable Kite-technology combined with the appeal and safety of a Windsurf rig.
It is an unbeatable package making it the ideal addition to your SUP as an entry into the fascination of wind-powered sports.
On top the iRIG will revolutionize the Windsurfing Entry and Schooling as it’s 50% lighter than any conventional Windsurfing rig. Combined with the inflatable “mast” and “boom” parts the rig always floats on the water making starting and learning a piece of cake.

what an incredible rig, looks very firm but compact and well presented, probably super slippery when wet which is fine, really good looking rig, I'd love to get into this and ride it all day, or kneel down and get blown for hours.. Also the inflatable windsurfing thing is cool.

Ive tried the inflatable boards and they work fairly well in light to medium winds. Also nice is the transportabiility. the rig is a joke though. Better to use a normal rig with the inflatable board.

I wonder if that sail would work for a canoe? I think I'm going to experiment with this concept and use one of my old inflatable beds, modify it, and try to use it as a inflatable wing sail on my canoe. Lol

Great rig! But a little surprised NKB and NorthSails was involved, when it could easily be redesigned to deliver more power.

How does the sail perform in very lightwind conditions, like around 5 to 6 knots? Cheers

Looks fun for first timers and kids but honestly cant see it worth being used for over the first 5-6 sessions max... certainly no good as a serious water toy ;)
