Nice video DW. I can see why you like the Ensis wing so much -- looks stable and good upwind. What was the wind strength? To me it looked like 10 to 15 knots (in the gusts).

Balz Mueller said windows are coming to Ensis in next version.
I think it is possible to position the windows in the wing so that they are effective. I found a video, which is attached below, that has a rider with a head (helmet) mounted camera and it appears that the windows in his wing are effective and what's downwind can be clearly seen by the winger. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myYqEyBepxc

Sorry for the dumb question, but what exactly is "back winding"?
Back winding and draft movement both look the same, but are caused by different things.
Back winding is when the canopy starts to collapse at the leading edge, and the collapse continues moving back if not corrected, by changing course and sailing less upwind. This is caused by sailing too high into the wind for the performance limit of your wing. The apparent wind you make going fast, contributes to this, by changing the angle of the wind your wing sees. Draft stability/movement is when the same happens, simply from too much wind power for the performance limit of your wing. This causes an increase in back hand pressure to maintain control.
I know someone that has used the Cabrinha V2 on both water and snow. He says it's his favourite wing on snow and least favourite on water (he tests wings). On water he really dislikes the backwinding. Totally different feel on snow.

Re: Potentially $2,000/wing, is that a stiffy? No!

Here's a review of the F-One Strike -- apparently it goes upwind really well (best wing upwind that's he's tested)! This is Tucker's favourite wing he usually doesn't say things like this since his shop sells so many different brands). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GMvszYZIq4

Here's a new promotional video of the Duotone Slick: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rrd9lCQwDpYFrom a marketing point-of-view I think most wing companies will at some point in time be offering both a traditional handle wing and a "boom" wing.

The V1 for Ensis had windows and they got rid of the windows for V2 saying that windows were too: (1) heavy; (2) stretchy and (3) hard to pack. It will be interesting to hear how Ensis rationalizes putting the windows back into their wings. Personally, I don't have a problem with windows but it seems most have strong views one way or the other.

In one of those images DW posted (6th image) is the new Airush wing with two long handles or mini booms that was noted in one of the Wings with Booms threads!
Not all have windows -- no windows for F-One Strike, RRD or Ensis wings.
