Parawinging Rental
🌊 Parawinging Rental Experience – Try Before You Invest
A parawing (otherwise called a "hand kite") are soft, small foil kites on short lines that can stow away easily, let you surf or foil as normal, and then deploy when you need it. The benefit? Less drag compared to riding with a regular wing. It's more technical than a regular wing, and we recommend to start parawinging only when you're able to ride in near any condition. Like all sports, there's a learning curve, and you need some specific conditions to fully progress.
Who is parawinging for? Parawinging is mostly for combining the experience of riding the swell with a wing and a board. It requires a great deal of finesse and is one of the most challenging wind related water sports.
