New Wings: Ensis relaunches the Score series with three model variants

Ensis has restructured the Score series and is now offering the Wing in three different versions. The Score Handle comes with rigid grips, the Score Boom with a continuous boom and the Score Ace as a performance version with Aluula construction. All three models share the basic shape of the previous Score series, which, according to the manufacturer, has established itself through balanced power delivery and easy handling. The extension allows riders to choose between different grip systems, while the handling characteristics of the Wing remain largely identical. Ensis relies on a lightweight hybrid front tube construction for all three variants, which is designed to save weight and offer stiffness at the same time. The models are aimed at riders of different skill levels, from beginners to performance-orientated athletes.

Score handle for direct handling

The Score Handle is the basic version of the series and is based on ergonomically positioned rigid handles. According to the manufacturer, this configuration offers easy handling and comfortable handling during long sessions. The handles are firmly mounted and enable a direct connection to the wing. The design utilises the lightweight hybrid front tube, which is intended to reduce the weight in the hands. Ensis describes the power delivery as balanced and the upwind characteristics as efficient. The wing remains controllable when drifting in the waves or when riding downwind. The rigid handle configuration appeals to riders of all performance levels and offers stability in both light and strong winds. The Score Handle is equally suitable for freeride sessions, freestyle manoeuvres and wave riding.

Score Boom with free hand positioning

D Score Boom differs from the handle version in that it has a continuous boom. This enables unrestricted hand positioning along the entire length. Riders can adjust their grip position spontaneously during manoeuvres, transitions, jumps and freestyle tricks. The boom construction also utilises the series' lightweight hybrid front tube. According to Ensis, this keeps the wing light, balanced and stable across all disciplines. Handling is effortless and propulsion is efficient. When flagged out, the Wing exhibits neutral behaviour. The Score Boom is suitable as a versatile all-round wing for freeride, freestyle and wave sessions. The take-offs were smooth and without abrupt power peaks.

Score Ace as a performance variant

The Score Ace is the performance version of the series and was previously known as the Score Limited Edition. It is distinguished by an ultra-light hybrid front tube that combines Aluula Gold and Aluula Aeris. This combination of materials is said to deliver exceptional stiffness with reduced weight. The response behaviour is highly reactive and the manoeuvrability is pronounced. The Score Ace is aimed at demanding riders who prioritise performance. The wing enables radical sailing angles and efficient power transmission. The feeling on the water remains balanced despite the focus on performance. The feather-light construction improves control during freestyle manoeuvres, wave riding and high-speed sessions. At the same time, the wing retains the smooth and intuitive handling of the Score series. The Aluula construction significantly increases the weight compared to the other variants.

Common platform with different focal points

All three Score models are based on the same aerodynamic platform and share the same basic flying characteristics. The differences lie primarily in the handle configuration and, in the case of the Ace version, in the choice of materials. Ensis describes the concept as "One Score Feeling - Three Ways to Ride". The Score Handle offers direct and intuitive handling, the Score Boom unrestricted freedom of movement and the Score Ace the lightest and performance-orientated riding characteristics of the series. Riders can choose depending on their riding style and their preference for the connection to the wing. The series covers a broad spectrum, from relaxed freeride sessions to freestyle progression and high-performance riding. Ensis positions the Score series as a proven option for different disciplines and conditions.
