ADX vs Neutron: Find Your Flow

Words by Peri Roberts

Progress means something different to everyone. Some riders want to go faster and push harder; others want to feel more connected and flow with the ocean. The ADX and Neutron sit at two ends of that spectrum, both built for performance, but for very different styles. The ADX is your go-to for progression, learning and power. The Neutron is your wing for control, smooth handling and effortless wave riding.

So which one fits your ride?

Let’s break it down – power versus precision, speed versus control. Two wings, one brand, and one mission: to make every session count.

ADX

The ADX is your all-round progression wing – designed for riders who want to develop their skills, go faster and unlock new performance levels. It’s powerful, stable and intuitive to fly, making it ideal for beginners learning the ropes and intermediates chasing speed.

Built with a Refined Aerodynamic Shape and Improved Draft Stability, the ADX delivers clean, predictable power and remains stable in gusty conditions. The Radial Panel Layout with Dual Luff Panels strengthens the canopy, keeping it responsive and tensioned for long-term performance.

Whether you’re cruising across flatwater, throwing your first jumps, or pushing into high wind, the ADX delivers smooth, controlled acceleration and consistent pull. The Removable Handle System lets you customize your setup – short or long handles, or a carbon boom for the way you like to ride.

Easy to trust, fun to fly: the ADX is the wing that keeps you moving forward.

Neutron

The Neutron is designed for riders who want control and freedom on the wave. Compact, balanced and incredibly light in hand, it delivers big performance from smaller sizes so you can downsize your wing without giving up power.

Its Deep Draft and Low Dihedral Design gives the Neutron great low-end drive and upwind ability, while the Removable Carbon Boom System ensures consistent handling across the range. The Radial Panel Layout connects every seam for a smooth, unified feel, and the Dual Valve System adds rigidity and structure when powered.

In the surf, it flags out effortlessly – stable, neutral and ready to disappear when you need to focus on your line. Beginners will love how easy it is to lift and control, while experienced riders will appreciate how naturally it drifts in waves and wind swell.

If you want a wing that blends power with freedom, the Neutron delivers.

ADX vs Neutron

While the ADX is built for speed, progression and confidence in powered conditions, the Neutron focuses on smooth handling, flagging and wave control. The ADX helps you progress and push your limits; the Neutron helps you connect and refine your style.

– ADX: Early lift, stable power and confidence for all-level riders.
– Neutron: Compact design with smooth flagging for wave-focused riders.
– ADX: Ideal for progression, speed and stability in strong winds.
– Neutron: Ideal for freedom, control and smooth flow in waves.
– ADX: Best for beginners through advanced riders chasing lift and drive.
– Neutron: Best for riders seeking lighter handling and wave versatility.

In short, the ADX is your progression wing, built for power and performance. The Neutron is your freedom wing, built for feel and flow.

No matter your style, both wings deliver the same Naish standard: innovation, performance and trust on the water. Whether you’re learning, improving or chasing the next level, there’s a wing that fits the way you ride.
