Sroka Parawing: FYNIX PushBar Overview (2026)
Sroka Company is a French watersports brand best known for SUP, wing foil, surf foil and foils, and the FYNIX is its first move into parawing foiling. The wing arrives with a clear hook: a rigid 32cm carbon bar, the PushBar, that lets you depower by pushing the bar away from you. Depower itself is not new to the category, but a parawing controlled through a push to depower bar is, and Sroka has built the FYNIX around that idea.
This page covers who Sroka are, what the FYNIX offers, the manufacturer's specs and claims, and where it sits in the wider parawing market. It is important to be clear up front about what this is and is not, which we cover in the box below.
We have not tested the FYNIX. There is no Parawingfoil review of this wing yet. Everything here is based on Sroka's press materials and published specifications, not on our own time on the water. We plan to publish a first look at launch and follow with owner feedback once riders have the FYNIX in hand. For the launch detail, see our FYNIX launch news article.
About Sroka
Sroka Company was founded in 2013 by Bruno Sroka, a three time kitesurfing world champion and adventurer known for expeditions including a Cape Horn crossing and a France to Ireland kitesurf. The company is based in Gouesnou, in Brittany on the west coast of France, and sells both direct and through retailers.
The Sroka range spans SUP, wing foil, surf foil, downwind, dockstart and a line of foils. The FYNIX is the brand's first parawing, so unlike established parawing names this is a first generation product from a brand with deep foil and wind sports roots rather than a refined second or third iteration. That heritage shows in the bar-led control approach, which owes more to kite thinking than to the soft handle most parawings use.
Sroka FYNIX
The FYNIX is a parawing, the soft, paraglider-style wing that powers a parawing foil board without the rigid frame of a handheld wing. What sets it apart sits in your hands: instead of a soft handle or a fixed bridle, you control the FYNIX through a 32cm carbon bar, the PushBar. It comes in 3, 4 and 5 square metre sizes, has no pre-lines, and ships with a retractable harness line that extends to 32cm in use.
Manufacturer Specifications
| Size | Aspect ratio | Wingspan | Weight (bar, lines, harness line) | Claimed wind range (knots) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3m | 2.88 | 3.3m | 525g | 23 to 35+ |
| 4m | 2.88 | 3.5m | 665g | 14 to 29 |
| 5m | 2.88 | 3.87m | 735g | 10 to 25 |
Figures are manufacturer specifications from Sroka. Wind ranges are Sroka's claims and have not been independently verified by us.
How the PushBar System works
The PushBar System (PBS) is a trademarked name, with an innovation patent pending at France's INPI. The principle is simple. Pushing the carbon bar away from you releases the rear lines symmetrically, spilling power out of the canopy. Pull the bar back in and the power returns.
The depower function depends on hooking the bar into the included retractable harness line. Hooked in, you push to depower and pull to power as designed. Flown unhooked, Sroka says the FYNIX behaves like a conventional parawing with no depower, so the harness line is central to the system rather than an optional comfort extra.
Sroka frames this as the first sheet in, sheet out depower capability on a parawing, the same intuitive in and out power control that bar-flown kites and, in a different form, hard wings have long had. That is Sroka's claim rather than a verified fact, and other brands such as North already offer depower through different mechanisms.
Key claims from Sroka
Depower. Sroka describes the FYNIX as the only parawing with true push and pull, sheet in, sheet out depower. Depower is available in the category through other means, so we treat this specific framing as the brand's claim.
Wind range. Sroka says the system extends each size's usable wind range by 2.5 to 3 times depending on size, with per size ranges of 23 to 35 plus knots for the 3 square metre, 14 to 29 knots for the 4, and 10 to 25 knots for the 5.
Quiver simplification. Sroka claims the 4 square metre replaces a conventional 3 and 4, and that two FYNIX sizes cover around 80 percent of typical conditions.
Top end. Sroka reports a team rider reaching more than 30 knots on the FYNIX.
Fabric. Sroka specifies a hydrophobic 30D fabric that it says does not absorb water.
All of the above are manufacturer claims. They are exactly the kind of figures we want to test once the FYNIX is in independent hands, and we will report what we find.
Pricing and availability
The FYNIX is priced from 679 euros. Preorders are open at srokacompany.com, with first shipping from 25 June 2026 and subsequent preorder batches from 15 July 2026. Sroka sells direct and through retailers.

How the FYNIX Differs from Other Parawings
Most parawings are controlled through a soft handle or a fixed bridle, and power management means flagging the wing out or muscling through gusts. The FYNIX takes a different route by putting a rigid carbon bar in your hands and tying depower to a harness line, so the headline difference is the control interface rather than the canopy alone.
Depower as a concept already exists elsewhere. North's Ranger uses a Depower Tab to dump power mid-flight, for example. What Sroka claims is new is the push to depower bar and true sheet in, sheet out behaviour, which is a claim we will judge against the wider field including the F-One Frigate and Ozone Pocket Rocket once we have ridden it.
Pros and Cons
Because we have not tested the FYNIX, the points below are read from the design and the published specs rather than from time on the water.
Potential strengths:
- Bar-led push to depower is a genuinely different control approach for a parawing
- Light claimed weights, from 525g for the 3 square metre including bar, lines and harness line
- Simple three size range that Sroka says covers most conditions in two sizes
- Backed by a brand with deep foil and wind sports experience
- No pre-lines and an included retractable harness line
Open questions:
- First generation parawing from the brand, with no community feedback yet
- Depower requires hooking in, so the unhooked experience is a conventional parawing
- Wind range and quiver claims are unverified manufacturer figures
- How the carbon bar feels over a long session is unknown until tested
- No independent review or owner reports exist at launch
Where to Buy
At launch, the FYNIX is sold direct through Sroka and through the brand's retail network.
- Direct: srokacompany.com (preorders open, first shipping 25 June 2026)
- Retailers: Sroka sells through dealers as well as direct. Availability through individual shops will firm up after launch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Has Parawingfoil reviewed the Sroka FYNIX?
Not yet. There is no review of the FYNIX on this site. This page is based on Sroka's press materials and published specifications. We plan a first look at launch and a follow up once owner feedback lands. The launch detail is in our FYNIX news article.
What is the PushBar System?
It is Sroka's trademarked depower mechanism, with a patent pending at France's INPI. A 32cm carbon bar releases the rear lines symmetrically when pushed away, shedding power, and restores it when pulled back. It works hooked into the included retractable harness line. Flown unhooked, Sroka says the FYNIX behaves like a conventional parawing with no depower.
What sizes and prices does the FYNIX come in?
The FYNIX comes in 3, 4 and 5 square metre sizes priced from 679 euros. Preorders are open at srokacompany.com, with first shipping from 25 June 2026 and further batches from 15 July 2026.
Is the FYNIX really the first parawing with sheet in, sheet out depower?
That is Sroka's claim. Depower exists in the category through other mechanisms, such as North's Depower Tab, so the precise claim is that the FYNIX is the first controlled through a push to depower bar with true sheet in, sheet out behaviour. We have not verified it.
The Bottom Line
On paper, the FYNIX is one of the more interesting parawing launches in a while. A rigid push to depower bar is a genuinely different design direction, and the claimed weights and wind ranges are appealing. It is also a first generation product, the headline depower claims are unverified, and depower depends on hooking in.
We are not in a position to recommend or rule out the FYNIX yet, because we have not ridden it. If the PushBar delivers what Sroka describes, it could make wider conditions more manageable on fewer sizes. We will publish a first look at launch and follow with real owner feedback, and update this page as we learn more. In the meantime, established all-rounders like the F-One Frigate and Ozone Pocket Rocket remain the known quantities for a first parawing.
