Wings & Parawings

Handheld wings and parawings have revolutionized modern watersports by providing an easy, accessible, and versatile power system for hydrofoiling. Because they are completely unattached to the board and feature fast-inflating frame technology, wings offer unmatched freedom, safety, and ease of handling on the water.

Choosing the Right Rig for Your Style:

• Inflatable Surf Wings: Designed with rigid inflatable leading edges and ergonomic handles or booms for instant power, sharp upwind tracking, and smooth depower. Once on a wave, simply flag the wing out behind you to glide on pure ocean energy.

• Parawings: Engineered for high-performance downwinding. These lightweight, stowable wings allow you to easily navigate far upwind to your launch point, to launch onto rolling bumps, and then stow completely out of the way for an uninterrupted downwind swell ride.

Pro Tips for Getting Started:

• Learn the Basics on Land: Practice steering, powering up, and depowering the surf wing on land before heading out on the water.

• Sizing Your First Wing: Starting with more power makes learning easier, so aim for stronger winds and a larger wing size. As a general rule, a 4.0m wing is ideal for riders under 70 kg, while a 5.0m wing works best for those over 70 kg (sizes range from 2.8m to 9.0m).

• Choosing a Leash Setup: Select between a wrist leash (attached to your leading hand) or a waist leash depending on what feels most comfortable for your movement.
