The SUBWING board is built from two separate wings which are connected with a rotatable swivel. By holding on to the front edge of each wing with one hand, it can easily be controlled in all directions.
Steering is done by pulling or pushing the wings up or down. Push both wings downwards to dive, and pull both upwards to resurface. If you want to spin, simply pull one wing up and push the other one down. A single hand grip is mounted between the wings at the rear and is designed to be used when equalizing ear pressure and when one hand is needed.
Controlling the SUBWING board is very easy and fast to learn for everyone, most people dive and spin after just 5 to 10 minutes.

Towing speed

Since water is around 800 times denser than air, high speeds are not necessary to achieve a thrilling and fun experience under water. We start to pull you very slow, less than 2 knots in the beginning to allow you to get familiar with the board, after you give us a signal we will pull you a bit faster, maximum speed is 4 knots.  This speed is  plenty to perform impressive acrobatic maneuvers under water.
