WHO WE ARE:

For over 30 years, Wing Inflatables has built a reputation for delivering high-performance inflatable solutions to those who rely on safety and durability—rescue workers, Coast Guard teams, Navy SEALs, rafting guides, and kayakers. Our mission is to support professionals and adventurers alike with equipment that performs with lightweight speed, agility, and confidence on the water.
