What is parawingfoiling?
Parawingfoiling is a water sport that uses a small paraglider-style wing, connected to a spreader bar harness, to power a hydrofoil board. Your hands are free, the gear is ultra-compact, and you can foil in as little as 10 to 12 knots. Read our full introduction to parawingfoiling for a complete overview.

What are the benefits of parawing foiling?
The parawing allows you to effectively travel upwind using the power of wind and then quickly and effectively store the parawing away for the downwind adventure.
Do parawings get tangled easily?
From our experience so far and what we've observed on the water, although the lines can get tangled, it's never a big task to sort them out. We think that, due to the length and materials used for the lines, they are easy to untangle.
Does a parawing need a pump?
No. The beauty of the parawing is that no pumps are needed as there isn't a bladder. These wings are like foil kites. They are soft wings and are based on the design of a parafoil.
