Description
Little Cloud The Spiruline: The Iconic Mini-Wing
Pure Sensations. Maximum Versatility. The Original Mini-Wing Revolution.
Ten years after the first Spiruline changed the way we look at small wings, the legend is back with a completely new design. Built to offer maximum pleasure across all types of flying—from hike-and-fly and strong-wind soaring to thermalling and speedflying—the Spiruline remains the global reference for accessibility and fun. The latest evolution features a new profile, a refined cell count, and a 3-row line layout for easier handling and improved load distribution.
At Sky Riders, we love the Spiruline for its "go-anywhere" attitude. Its legendary pitch stability means it waits overhead during launch and remains rock-solid in turbulent air, making it the perfect second wing to complete your quiver.
Key Design Features:
- 3-Row Line Layout: Ensures easy, reassuring inflation in all conditions and reduces wing deformation.
- New Airfoil Profile: Features smaller, set-back air inlets for smooth filling and exceptional pitch stability.
- Precise Handling: Fine skin tension results in incredibly intuitive and straightforward piloting that puts a smile on every pilot's face.
- Wide Using Range: Optimized energy management allows one size to cover a massive range of conditions and pilot styles.
- Risers with Trimmers: Equipped with a 6cm trimmer range to adjust speed and penetration without a traditional speed bar system.

Choosing Your Size
The Spiruline’s behavior changes significantly based on wing loading:
- Wing Loading ~3 kg/m²: Versatile and accessible. Similar speeds to a paraglider; suitable for mountain flying, soaring, and learning.
- Wing Loading ~4.5 kg/m²: More dynamic and faster. Requires experience to maximize flight in varied aerological conditions.
- Wing Loading ~6+ kg/m²: Dedicated to speedflying and strong-wind soaring. Highly reactive and requires precise, experienced piloting.
