I'm having trouble understanding the physics of how this can possibly go upwind. And in the video, Gwen it looked more like you were at a beam reach than a close haul. How close to the wind are you actually gonna be able to get with that?
Another excellent Gwen video, useful to understand that Gwen’s skill level is off the charts, he doesn’t need a parawing, wing or paddle to pump himself onto foil
Do you think you need a mid-length board or a regular wingfoil board would be ok to start foiling with the parawing. I am 70kg and i have a 70 liter fone rocket S. thanks
Thanks for making this video Gwen! Definitely a cool tool to learn to downwind and get lots of reps. Excited to see what the industry does in reaction to the parawing. Probably even better designs coming. I think one of the mistakes I see from people learning this is that they try to pump the parawing like a LEI wing, and half the time it stalls in that dynamic movement. This might be the perfect tool to focus only on leg/foil pump while holding the parawing steady for a little extra assistance. So cool!
The parawing goes upwind very well. The angle of attack of the wing is controlled with the hand position on the bar. Hand forward and it's flying off the front lines...hand pressure on your little finger and you will feel it start to stall and drop back. Much more of a kite feel than a wing.
Great video Glen! Only thing I would add is that the harness seems to help going upwind, especially when overpowered. Using two hands on the bar also helps.
Great video! Thanks for sharing. I'm thinking of trying a parawing with my pumpfoil from the dock, instead of using a wing-which is currently my favorite foiling setup.
I like your idea, that it is good to learn for pumping.
This lucky dudes lifestyle reminds me how my life sucks every day.

I was surprised how well it goes up wind actually, it’s the same principle as a kite really

A wing board would work for sure, you will just need a bigger parawing to get some extra power at take off

Yes well said! 🙏🙌 thanks for sharing!
no leash at all? Still learning my first flights and this already looks like another entry in the bucket list hah!
Really nice video all around! Stoked to give this a try!
Thank you! You did a good job showing how it worked!
now go do some paragliding with it haha. Nice video

Thanks for sharing, that’s great feedback!

Yes I’ve used it with the dockstart board too, works great!
Hi Gwen! Thanks for your response! Have a nice day!
Super video ! ça donne envie 🤙🏻
Yes I was waiting for this
Excellent!
Hi
How strong was the wind please?
I mentioned it in the video, about 15 mph
Would you recommend this to a beginner? Seems like it would be easier to manage than a wing.
Not necessarily easier than a wing in my opinion
@@Tyler-ic5kwway harder than a wing lol
