PPC M1-X Wing 4.0

Description

Light as air, strong as steel.

If you loved the M1 but found it a bit heavy or grunty, you’ll LOVE the M1-X. Designed with the same dynamic and efficient characteristics as the M1, the M1-X features a lighter canopy material, which reduces the overall weight of the wing and adds an element of forgiveness, while using the ExoPE-85 fabric we are able to deliver lighter weight, unmatched strength, stability, and longevity.

The significant weight reduction allows the M1-X to flag out and park exactly where you want it while surfing the waves. The reduced canopy weight, combined with our ultra-rigid frame and new full-carbon ergo boom handles, makes the M1-X a true standout in our range for those seeking pure performance.

The latest production runs (from March 2025) are boom compatible (as printed on the strut) and booms can be purchased separately. NB. Booms can’t be retro-fit to batches made prior to this date.

Suited to:

This high-end, lightweight wing features a stiff frame, ideal for those seeking optimal performance in wave or freestyle use.

Features

New EXO-PE 85 fabric takes performance and reliability to the next level.

Lightweight Advantage

• EXO-PE 85 is lighter thanks to a unique laminate construction and woven characteristics, meaning less swing weight in your hands and more responsiveness on the water.

Durability That Lasts

• With enhanced woven strength and the ability to handle stitching, EXO-PE 85 provides greater seam integrity and long-term reliability—even under heavy loads.

UV Protection & Visual Appeal

• Each panel is induction treated, giving the fabric an outer UV shield that protects against sun damage while maintaining a clean, premium finish.

Superior Seams

• The switch to EXO-PE 85 has enabled PPC Foiling to produce more durable, thermo-bonded seams. This ensures our wings hold their shape session after session, without compromising on weight or strength.

Performance First

• The result is a fabric that’s lighter, stronger, and more reliable—delivering better handling, improved efficiency, and confidence in all conditions.

Canopy:

• Custom PPC canopy material features 20% less stretch than industry standard canopy material, which provides not only more direct power and rider response but also increased durability and longevity
• Loading-orientated radial panel layout

Handles:

• Sleek, single-molded full stiff yet lightweight carbon handles allow greater control and ease through maneuvers
• Ergonomic design – reduces forearm strain & allows you to foil for longer with improved comfort.
• The latest production runs (from March 2025) are boom compatible (as printed on the strut) and booms can be purchased separately. NB. Booms can’t be retro-fit to batches made prior to this date.

Valve:

• High pressure SUP valve with easy twist in/out universal valve

Leash:

• Dyneema shock cord with improved swivel, comfort neoprene and custom wrist strap.

These features combined with our slim design = a significant increase in balance, allowing you to progress faster, fly higher & go faster.
