🪽 The Wing – Interest Check
A 60% EC/MX gasket-mount board inspired by the Ferrari F40’s iconic rear wing.
Overview Clever here with another design that’s been in the works for almost two years. The Wing is bold, unapologetic, and tuned to resonate — a desk-sized nod to the Ferrari F40. With multiple prototypes and refinements, it’s nearly ready for production, and I want your feedback to help shape the final group buy.
The Vibe Not every board is made to whisper. The Wing was built to
resonate and roar, with punchy feedback and vibration you can feel.
- Want it loud and wild? Choose polycarbonate.
- Want it refined with a bit less resonance? Stick with aluminum.
- Want your board to swallow the reverb and become a heavy beast? Go all the way with stainless steel or brass.
If Enso was designed for calm and dampening, The Wing is all about
vroom vroom energy.
