ENSIS SCORE 5.2 2023 TEST REVIEW

The Verdict

The ENSIS SCORE is a powerhouse performer that checks all the right boxes: balance, stability, acceleration, and adaptability. It’s a winning score, no matter how you look at it.

The Lowdown

Prepare to be enchanted by the unique charm of the ENSIS SCORE, a sublime blend of strength and dynamism. Available with both soft and rigid handles, on test here we have the rigid handle version. The wing’s leading edge is fortified against abrasion at each segment’s connection, using heavy-duty material in the wing tip area for enhanced durability. The trailing edge features a sturdy Dyneema, further boosting its longevity and significantly reducing flutter.

The SCORE’s canopy is characterised by a top-of-the-line triple ripstop fabric, guaranteeing the best stiffness-to-weight ratio. It’s light, firm, and designed for superior performance without the burden of unnecessary weight. The wing also incorporates a cleverly placed strut bladder, which is locked in front to avoid any unwanted movement when the wing is deflated. Impressive windows, made of tempered film, ensure lasting durability and superior visibility in varying weather conditions. The wing’s quick inflation and deflation are facilitated by a dual-valve system with a broad 9 mm hose diameter. Lastly, the ENSIS SCORE features impeccably crafted seams. The leading edge and strut closing seams come with an added insignia reinforcement layer stitched with the most durable threads. This provides the ENSIS wings with the most rigid frame possible.

Brand Claim

“The SCORE is for everyone who wants to feel pure passion on the water – from discoverers to the pro. The ENSIS wings are well-known for their high performance and the SCORE will amaze you with its power and stability.”

Performance

From the outset, the ENSIS SCORE has set itself apart in the world of wing foiling. With its refined profile, it’s a wing that tacks impressively well. Imagine slicing through the water with ease, the wind in your sail, every turn a seamless dance between you, your board, and the wind.

The true beauty of the SCORE, however, lies in its exceptional stability. Its power source remains unwavering on all points of sail, serving as a steady companion whether you’re cutting through chop or gliding over glassy waters. This makes the SCORE not just a joy to ride, but also a trustworthy ally when the conditions get tricky. Now, let’s talk about acceleration. The SCORE truly shines when it comes to its pumping abilities. The pump action is not just a basic up-and-down motion – it pulls you forward and truly assists in propelling the board. This feature is particularly advantageous for high-aspect foils, amplifying their efficiency and taking your foiling experience to another level.

The ENSIS SCORE boasts ergonomically designed handles that blend comfort and control, enhancing your grip and manoeuvrability. This feature enhances your wing foiling experience, making long sessions less tiring and more exhilarating.

But perhaps the most standout feature of the ENSIS SCORE is its exceptional balance and impressive wind range. Regardless of whether the breeze is a gentle whisper or a forceful gust, the ENSIS SCORE adjusts and delivers. In other words, this wing is adaptable, capable, and ready to match your ambition.
