Nova PRO
---------------------
Features a hybrid airframe with N-Weave45 and Dacron materials, allowing the wing to "dump power" in overpowered conditions.
Designed for lighter riders (under 80 kg), as it flexes more and reduces arm fatigue.
Provides a more forgiving and efficient experience, particularly for freeriding and surfing.
Its canopy design offers weight savings and maintains shape over time.

Mode Pro:
---------------------
Utilizes a full N-Weave45 in the airframe and strut, making it stiffer and ideal for heavier riders (85 kg and above).
Can handle more force and provides better power transmission, with an exceptionally wide wind range.
Has a flatter profile for better top-end performance.
Heavier overall but built for durability and power.

TAKEAWAYS
- The two wings cater to different rider preferences and weight classes. Moore emphasizes that the different wing models are designed for specific use cases, and buyers should choose based on their riding style and weight.
- Both wing have a Carbon UDI tape inserted in the entire Leading-Edge span, from tip to tip, to further stiffen the wing’s airframe.
