SMIK Parawing

It may seem obvious but you need to know which way is the right way when launching. Color-coded bridles, leading edge and custom carbon bar all help achieve this, making it easier to not get tangled.

Due to a parawing's relative inefficiency in powering you up onto your foil compared to the 'traditional' inflatable wing ding, the parawing has to be stable in flight and pull from a controlled point in order to generate speed, power and lift. Four sets of bridles, including
an adjustable second set at the bar, help in achieving this stability, but also allow you to tweak the wing for light or strong winds.

Compared to the inflatable wing ding, a parawing's wind range is very small, which is why we've aimed to get as much low end power as possible, whilst being able to de-power when overpowered. This is possible thanks to a fine balance in tuning, getting the angle of attack on the leading edge right, combined with the exhaust out the trailing edge, whilst not having the wing fold in half when under pressure.

The leading edge needs to be able to sustain itself in low winds, whilst ensuring the wing tips don't collapse when overpowered.

Not only does the material need to be lightweight in order to compress easily and small enough to be stashed away for downwinding, but the lightweight material actually enhances stability and improves handling through the jibes.

The result is an exceptionally stable all-round parawing, with a smooth, predictable pull and a wide wind range that you can use for downwinders, but also free-fly and surf sessions.
