You can say that again !

Absolutely!
There are plenty good wings out there but the differences between them in feel and performance are imo also pretty big and the landscape is changed a lot since your last 5m test.
All wings has become more powerfull, stiffer/more tensioned and more high lift.

Hey Jeroen , Thanks for noting down your feedback of the ADX and other wings. Really very interesting.
TBH we wanted to have this wing for longer to put it more head to head against other wings. But I do hear and agree with many of your comments.
And also interesting to get your surf performance of the ADX.

Maybe its time we do another 5m wing test!?

Thanks again, Reuben

I demo-ed the ADX in 5.5 two times.
I,m 97kg using it on a 90l AK Phazer and with my KT4.5x56l with a Cabrinha H1000 foil.
I ride strapless so I don,t jump (on purpose) but do waveride, tack etc.

The profile is even stiffer as the aluula Unit Dlab 5.5 I own and the Vayuu I tried, but it is imo a rather heavy wing in weight AND feel. the 5.5 feels and handles more like a 6+ as a 5.5. For a Naish it points well upwind, but most wings I tried point imo higher. When I switched on the water to my buddy,s Duotone Slick SLS 5m for example, I needed to wait for a gust to get on the foil where the Naish pulls you straight out the water, but the SLS points way higher (and so do the Unit Dlab, Ozone Fly V1, North Nova and Mode).
When flying both my buddy and I noticed that it has a lot of front foot pressure, more as with any other wing I tried so far.

Surfing: it flags and behaves okay, but it has the tendency to be a bit more tail heavy in lighter wind, but it does follow nice and doesnt flip. …but the SLS is way more neutral and lighter on a wave.
Tacks: yes that is good, but try a Neilpryde Fly, Unit V2/V3,Slick SLS, North Nova 2023 and they have all this uplifty feel making tacking and flagging easier.

On the positive side: it is the best Naish wing I tried so far.

On the downside, I,m not anti Naish, I kinda like there heritage but they are performance wise imo still 1-2year behind most of the competition.
I would say it is just slightly better as the first Duotone Slick of 2021, but the SLS 2022 and new Slick 2023 outperforms it and so do the Nova3, Neilpryde Fly, Cabrinha Mantis V3 and a several more.

See for yourself if it is appropriate to post this.
