Aeryn
Aeryn Pocket Wing P1: Full Brand Overview (2026)
Aeryn is a newcomer to the parawing market, but the engineering behind the brand is anything but new. Backed by Equipe Trading, the Dutch group behind Peter Lynn and PLKB, Aeryn draws on two decades of ram-air kite design. The Pocket Wing P1 is their first parawing: a single-skin canopy built for accessibility, priced at the budget end of the category.
This page covers who Aeryn are, what the Pocket Wing P1 offers, and how it stacks up against the competition.
About Aeryn
Aeryn sits under the umbrella of Equipe Trading B.V., a Netherlands-based company that has been developing and distributing water sports and wind sports equipment since 2002. Their portfolio includes Peter Lynn Kiteboarding (PLKB), Exocet, Loftsails, and Unifiber, with distribution across 60+ countries through 650+ retailers and watersports centres.
The connection to Peter Lynn is the most relevant part of Aeryn's heritage. Peter Lynn has been designing power kites since the early 1970s, well before kiteboarding existed as a sport. That means the team behind the Pocket Wing P1 has genuine, deep experience in ram-air soft wing design. The aerodynamics of a parawing share fundamental principles with ram-air kites, so this background translates directly.
Aeryn launched in 2025 with a clear positioning statement: minimal, durable, intuitive. The brand describes itself as focused on future-proof, minimalist design rather than feature-heavy complexity.
The Aeryn Pocket Wing P1
The P1 is a single-skin parawing. Aeryn currently sell four sizes, each in Ocean Blue and Coral Red. It can be flown handheld (as most riders do) or clipped into a spreader bar harness on longer sessions.
The range has shifted rather than grown. A 2.5m has been added for stronger wind, and the 6.0m has come off aeryn.world, though Powerkiteshop and SUP.co.uk still list it as run-down stock. We have kept it below, marked discontinued, rather than deleting a size you can still order.
Available Sizes
| Size | Colours |
|---|---|
| 2.5m | Ocean Blue, Coral Red |
| 3.0m | Ocean Blue, Coral Red |
| 4.0m | Ocean Blue, Coral Red |
| 5.0m | Ocean Blue, Coral Red |
| 6.0m (discontinued) | Ocean Blue, Coral Red, at dealers only |
Each package includes the wing, bar and lines, and a drawstring sling bag.
Key Features
- Trailing edge micro rod: A precision-placed stiffening rod near the trailing edge that minimises distortion and preserves wing shape during depower. This is a distinctive feature not found on every parawing.
- Leading edge and trailing edge battens: Sewn-in stiffening battens in both edges for consistent canopy shape.
- Spliced Dyneema bridle: High-tensile Dyneema construction with superior strength-to-weight ratio. Spliced rather than knotted, which reduces weight and improves durability.
- Low bridle count: Fewer bridle lines simplify setup and reduce drag.
- Colour-coded pigtails: For quick line identification during setup and relaunch.
- Compact EVA foam bar: Small and well-sized for precise control.
- Low-mid aspect ratio: Provides balanced lift and stability across the wind range.
Materials and Construction
- Canopy: Single-skin ripstop construction for lightweight performance
- Bridle: Spliced Dyneema for strength and durability
- Bar: Compact EVA foam for comfortable handling
- Battens: Leading edge and trailing edge stiffening for shape retention
Pros and Cons at a Glance
Pros
- Among the lowest-priced parawings available, and the lowest GBP figure we hold at current sale pricing
- Backed by decades of ram-air kite design expertise (Peter Lynn/PLKB)
- Trailing edge micro rod maintains shape during depower
- Spliced Dyneema bridle is strong, light, and durable
- Low bridle count simplifies setup
- Strong low-end power generation
- Growing dealer network across Europe, US, and beyond
Cons
- Upwind performance behind Ozone, BRM, and F-One
- Beach handling requires some familiarisation to find the right flying angle
- Brand new to the parawing market with limited long-term rider feedback
- Four current sizes vs five or more from some competitors, with the 6.0m now discontinued
What It Costs
The P1 sits in the budget tier, alongside Gong and below every other brand we review. Aeryn sell direct in euros at a standing price below their own RRP, with no end date on it, and UK dealers quote sterling separately.
We do not publish prices. See our guide to where to buy parawing gear to check today's figure at a shop that will sell you one.
How Does Aeryn Compare?
Aeryn's strongest card is price, though not by as much as we once claimed. The Pocket Wing P1 undercuts the premium brands comfortably, but not Gong. For riders entering the sport who don't want to invest heavily before they know they're committed, or for anyone who wants a second wing at a low cost, the P1 belongs on the shortlist alongside the Gong Lowkite Plus.
On performance, the P1 sits in the middle of the pack. It generates strong low-end power and steers intuitively, but upwind performance is behind the leaders. Ozone's Pocket Rocket, BRM's Kanaha, and F-One's Frigate all outperform it on upwind VMG. If upwind ability is your priority, those brands remain the better options.
Gong's Lowkite is the most direct competitor, and on price Gong wins in the currencies where both publish figures, undercutting the P1 in both euros and dollars. Gong also offers five models with half-size increments from 1.5 m² to 7 m², against Aeryn's four sizes. Aeryn's counter is UK pricing, where its current sale is the lowest we hold and Gong publishes no GBP figure at all.
The Peter Lynn/PLKB heritage is worth noting. While Aeryn is new as a brand, the team designing the P1 has more experience with ram-air soft wing design than almost anyone in the parawing space. That pedigree shows in the construction details: spliced Dyneema bridles and the trailing edge micro rod are not beginner-level engineering decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Aeryn Pocket Wing P1 good for beginners?
The P1's low price makes it an attractive entry point. The power delivery is smooth and the low bridle count simplifies setup. However, beach handling can be slightly finicky compared to some competitors, so it's worth spending time flying it on the beach first to find the right angle before heading to the water.
How does Aeryn compare to Gong on price?
Not the way we used to put it. Gong undercuts Aeryn in both euros and dollars. In sterling the P1’s current sale price is the lowest we hold, but Gong publishes no GBP pricing and bills UK customers in EUR, so it is absent from that comparison rather than beaten. Gong also offers a far wider range, five models with half-size increments.
What is the trailing edge micro rod?
The trailing edge micro rod is a precision-placed stiffening element near the trailing edge of the canopy. It minimises distortion and helps the wing maintain its shape when depowered. This contributes to more predictable handling across the power range.
Who designs the Aeryn Pocket Wing?
The P1 was designed by the team behind Peter Lynn and PLKB, who have over two decades of experience designing ram-air power kites. Aeryn sits under Equipe Trading B.V., the Netherlands-based parent company that also distributes Exocet, Loftsails, and Unifiber.
The Bottom Line
Aeryn brings something the parawing market has been missing: a genuinely affordable entry point backed by serious kite design heritage. The Pocket Wing P1 won't top the leaderboard on upwind performance, but it delivers smooth power, intuitive handling, and thoughtful construction details at a price that undercuts everything else available. For riders who want to try parawing foiling without a significant financial commitment, or anyone looking for a capable second wing on a budget, the P1 is a compelling option. The Peter Lynn/PLKB pedigree behind the brand suggests the engineering foundations are solid, and future iterations could close the performance gap with the leaders.
