We wanted to create a parawing capable of handling everything from 15–30 knots in the same session, without compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt needed to:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrive efficiently upwind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStash away effortlessly for true hands-free downwind freedom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditionally, those two characteristics don’t naturally coexist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA dual-skin wing will always fly upwind more efficiently than a single-skin design, delivering greater stability, improved efficiency, and reduced arm fatigue. However, single-skin wings are lighter and more compact, making them easier to stow while riding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo we got to work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe partnered with NOVA Paragliders — winners of the 2025 Red Bull X-Alps — and tested extensively across a huge range of conditions throughout New Zealand.
