Private Parawinging Lesson

Short description:
Parawinging is a new water sport that combines kiteboarding, winging, and foiling. Riders use a parawing that can be stowed away, allowing them to keep pumping the foil and riding waves.
What you’ll learn:
Using the parawing on land and understanding the wind window
Pumping the board and foil to get riding
Practicing on a downwind board vs. a larger beginner board
Foil size differences and learning recommendations
Flying the parawing in the water without the board
Taxiing on your knees and standing up while balancing the wing
How the bar works for riding
Common beginner challenges and how to overcome them
