What is a parawing?
The parawing is an innovative wing that combines elements of the wingfoil and the kitefoil .
Designed to harness the power of the wind, this lightweight and compact wing is made from high-performance materials, providing the perfect balance between durability and performance.
It stands out for its unique shape, similar to a small parachute or kite, and for its effectiveness in downwind foiling conditions .
Attached to a bar via lines, like in kitesurfing, the parawing offers a smooth and stable experience, while allowing riders to achieve exceptional performance with minimal effort.
In addition, it goes very well upwind and allows you to do downwind foiling in complete autonomy.
Why use a parawing for downwind foiling?
Downwind foiling consists of surfing on the waves or the chop generated by the wind, with a unique gliding sensation.
Parawing brings a real revolution in this practice thanks to its many advantages:
-
Power and wind efficiency : The parawing efficiently captures and channels the wind, allowing for smooth and rapid propulsion.
-
Easy storage : Unlike classic wingfoil wings, the parawing can be folded and stored leaving riders free to enjoy their descent without constraints.
-
Gain in autonomy : No need to set up carpools with several vehicles, you can ride alone, unlike downwind foiling with a paddle.
An ideal tool for explorers
With parawing , riders can reach remote spots by easily riding upwind, before stowing the wing and surfing waves for long distances.
This opens up new possibilities for lovers of adventure and freedom.
Parawing vs. classic wings: which one to choose?
If you are passionate about downwind foiling and are looking for dedicated equipment, the parawing for chaining runs in total freedom is an excellent investment.
However, for riders looking for more versatile equipment to also practice Wing, classic wings remain a better option.
Why is the parawing a major innovation?
The parawing redefines the limits of downwind foiling by combining performance, practicality and accessibility.
Thanks to its unique design and features, it allows riders to explore new areas, push their limits, and fully enjoy their sessions.
It simply allows you to do Downwind foiling alone, going upwind then letting yourself go down in the swells at full speed while enjoying the glide of your foil.
