FLY II PRO
...CAUSE FLYING WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN!
100% Aluula AerisTM and Aluula Aeris XTM in Leading Edge & Middle Strut
The 2024 FLY II PRO is an innovative advancement of the first FLY edition from 2023. The shape has undergone revisions similar to those of the FLY II, but it has also been enhanced with premium materials to deliver exceptional performance and user experience.
From the original FLY, our goal was to enhance stability and stiffness while also improving handling and control. The FLY II PRO introduces Aluula Aeris XTM, featuring a +/-45° X weave as opposed to regular Aluula, with lightweight Aluula AerisTM wingtips, resulting in significantly increased bias stiffness, precisely where it is needed.
The handle weight has been reduced, the FLY II PRO now features even lighter carbon handles in black EVA without texture, for a clean and technical look.
The sizes are carefully chosen - the half square metre increments of the Fly II Pro are optimum for the more 'pro‘ rider. From 3,5 to 6,5 - you can find your ideal premium NeilPryde wing.
HIGH END MATERIAL MIX
NeilPryde exclusively uses the new innovative ALUULA AerisTM and ALUULA Aeris XTM fabrics in the Fly II Pro Leading Edge and Strut – the new ALUULA materials allow for a thinner and stiffer Leading Edge and Middle Strut than ever before. Outstanding tear and abrasion resistance, excellent UV resistance, extremely low water absorption, and recyclability compared to conventional ALUULA GoldTM models!"
INCLUDED:
FLY II PRO Backpack, Pump Adapter, Bladder Repair Set

FLY II PRO
CARBON HANDLES
Even lighter carbon handles with black EVA without texture, for a clean and technical look.
HIGH QUALITY BLADDER WITH ANTI-TWIST SYSTEM
Fixing the bladder in different spots in the tube prevents it from twisting and therefore protects it from breaking when inflating. It also makes changing the bladder super easy and long lasting shape control.
Bladder made in Germany.
ALUULA AERIS X
In the front panels of Leading Edge and Middle Strut.
The new ALUULA materials enable a thinner and stiffer Leading Edge and Middle Strut than ever before.
ALUULA Aeris X offers additional reinforcement on the bias, resulting in even greater stiffness in the center of the leading edge and the front of the middle strut, where the majority of torsional forces are loaded.
Superior tear and abrasion resistance, excellent UV resistance, ultra low water absorption and recycle ready!
CANOPY MATERIAL
The trailing edge panels forward of the frame are made from Challenge Code 95 for exceptional stiffness and long lasting shape control.
Transverse paneling holds shape under load and reduces stretch over time.
ALUULA AERIS
Lightweight wingtips in Leading Edge and Middle Strut.
New ALUULA materials enable a thinner and stiffer Leading Edge and Middle Strut than ever before.
ALUULA Aeris offers unmatched strength to weight performance at an ultra-light weight.
Superior tear and abrasion resistance, excellent UV resistance, ultra low water absorption and recycle ready!
DEVELOPMENTS
Since the 1st generation of FLY
The Leading Edge (LE) diameter has been decreased 9-12% for the FLY II PRO (moreso in larger sizes) to reduce drag and allow higher inflation pressures.
The Leading Edge has been reduced by 3-6% for the FLY II (moreso in larger sizes) to reduce drag and allow higher inflation pressures.

Wingtip sweep has been increased to improve upwind stability and and for more control while holding the wing in a neutral position. The pointing ability is improved due to moved Center of Effort slightly to the leech. The use of Aluula Aeris material in the LE and wing tips allowed us to create a thinner, lighter and stiffer LE and wing tip than ever before.

The new wings have much more precise shaping built in, while retaining the transverse paneling that holds it‘s shape under load and stretches much less over time.

EVOLUTION
A year after introducing the FLY, we have achieved additional development milestones and are proud to unveil the enhanced and refined models: FLY II PRO and FLY II. The development of the FLY concept has been based on using the most proven materials, examining the technical development of wingfoiling down to the smallest detail and adjusting all the set screws.
SHAPE DIFFERENCES
The Fly II and Fly II PRO are very close. The major shape differences are the LE diameter (PRO is much smaller) and that - because it has a flatter entry angle to leverage the leading edge (LE) stiffness of the Aluula and reduce drag - the Fly PRO canopy appears slightly smaller when shown as flat pieces.
Transverse Canopy Paneling
The new wings have much more precise shaping built in, while retaining the transverse paneling that holds it‘s shape under load and stretches much less over time. There are now 4 stitched transverse panels on each side of the wing compared to only 2 in the previous model, vastly increasing shape stability.
Integral Batten System
Sewn-in composite battens create a flat, fast trailing edge with minimum flutter.
Staggered material weights on LE
LE with ALUULA AERIS X materials for strength and durability and ALUULA AERIS for durable & ultralight wingtips.
Carbon Handles
Reduced weight and added stiffness further enhance our state of the art, proprietary handles in the FLY II Pro.
HIGH LIFT CONCEPT
Due to the highly refined LE geometry and entry shaping, each wing produces the maximum thrust (power and acceleration) for its size. This dramatically increases the range, allowing riders to use a smaller wing than is typical in each set of conditions. The result is easier handling and greater maneuverability.
HIGH TENSION CANOPY WITH STRUCTURED CAMBER LENS
The 3D shape of the canopy leading edge is defined by a series of transverse panels that converge at the wingtips. This leverages the LE Tube structure to maximize tension in the critical entry sections – the result is more lift and a higher stall angle for better acceleration in light winds, and the ability to fly efficiently at low angles of attack for better control and higher top speeds in strong winds.
VENTED STRUT
The large opening between the LE and the front of the fill panel (which connects the canopy to the strut) allows the pressure to equalize across the two sides of the wing. This improves overall performance and makes the wing even more stable.

MATERIAL HIGHLIGHTS
ALUULA COMPOSITES
ALUULA AERIS X™
Exceptionally strong, durable & balanced fabrics.
Using the same patented ALUULA Fuse™ process as the structural fabrics, ALUULA Aeris X™ fabrics feature additional reinforcement on the bias that delivers exceptionally balanced performance for applications such as kite and wing canopy, and sails.
Aeris X™ fabrics are typically 20-50% lighter than incumbent fabrics, yet are 3-4 times stronger and 6 times better in tear resistance. After 800 hours of simulated UV exposure, Aeris X™ is 6 times stronger and has a staggering 64 times higher tear strength than incumbent canopy/sail fabrics.
ALUULA AERIS™
Exceptionally durable & ultralight
Built using the same ALUULA Fuse™ process as the more structural fabrics, the ALUULA Aeris™ family combines the unmatched strength performance of the ALUULA Core™ along with the toughest and strongest ultralight films available.
This results in a softer hand feel but unrivaled strength, tear and abrasion characteristics.
