Vayu Pyro 4M Parawing Review

Vayu Pyro 4M Parawing Review

Tucker has been testing the 4-meter Vayu Pyro — one of the most asked-about parawings on the market this year. Positioned as Vayu's answer to the parawing category, the Pyro is ultra-light, single-skin, and built around short bridles for fast stash-and-redeploys, with a manufacturer-listed 15 to 25 knot wind range at the 4.0m size.

Triple Seven PT LTX Parawing Review

Triple Seven PT LTX Parawing Review

Tucker brings us a look at the new Triple Seven PT LTX parawing. Having been a huge fan of the PT Skin (a single-skin wing) and the PT Hybrid (a double-skin/single-skin hybrid), he was excited to see where the LTX fits into the lineup. The LTX is designed to sit right between the Hybrid and the PT Skin. While the Hybrid is roughly 50% single skin and 50% double skin, the LTX features about 25% double skin and 75% single skin. Tucker initially thought this might be the "Goldilocks" wing — …

Flysurfer POW 2 Parawing Review

Flysurfer POW 2 Parawing Review

Flysurfer is a legacy brand known for dual-skin and single-skin kites, paragliders, and wingsuits, so they really know their way around bridled airfoils. For this review, Tucker tested the 4m size to see what the second version of the POW brings to the table. The Bar and Bridle Setup The POW 2 features the classic J-shaped bar. It's a flat bar with a kink at the end, giving you a comfortable end piece to crank on. The tail end is nicely tapered so the bridles just fall off if they happen to ge …

Ozone Pocket Rocket V2 Parawing Review

Ozone Pocket Rocket V2 Parawing Review

Tucker's back with a review of the Pocket Rocket Version 2 from Ozone — a follow-up to what was arguably the most popular parawing of last year. The V1 became a staple in our shop and in many riders' lineups, so when V2 was announced, we were crossing our fingers that Ozone wouldn't ruin the special attributes of the original. That said, there were also some changes we wanted to see as the sport progresses and we ask different things from our wings. The Upgraded Bar System Starting with …

Ozone PowerPack Parawing Review: The Easiest Stow & Go Wing?

Ozone PowerPack Parawing Review: The Easiest Stow & Go Wing?

Tucker brings a long overdue review on the Ozone PowerPack. This has been a really fun wing for him this winter, as Tucker is a big fan of it for downwinding, bigger nastier swell, and any time there's some consequence if you can't redeploy accurately and easily. Overall, the PowerPack has been fantastic through a hectic winter season where conditions were all over the place. New Bar and Bridle Updates The PowerPack has a few things going on. First: a new bar. It's similar to the bar on the Po …

Duotone Stash V2 Parawing Review

Duotone Stash V2 Parawing Review

Let's be honest — the first version of the Stash parawing left something to be desired. Duotone spent a lot of time refining this one with their design and pro team. After Tucker spent some serious time on the water, it's obvious that Duotone significantly upgraded their setup with thoughtful refinements. The Bar and Included Harness Line Starting at the bar, there are already some unique improvements. It looks pretty different, it also shares some similarities to their wing control bar. …

If you've seen Tucker's videos before, you know that he's been a huge fan of the PT single skin parawings, and Triple Seven has a long history of making really great parawings. When the PT Hybrid came out, he were naturally really interested. It features a nice blend of features that give a lot of versatility and ease of use.

Naish Hatch Parawing | Upwind Power, Broad Range, and Smart Price

The Naish Hatch is Naish’s performance-driven entry into the evolving parawing category, positioned as a more upwind-capable, speed-oriented option compared to the brand’s earlier Morph model. Where the Morph leaned toward a downwind glide and a beginner-friendly grunt, the Hatch shifts focus toward better upwind angles, a broader usable wind range, and a lighter, more refined feel. If you’re building a multi-wing quiver or looking for strong price-to-performance value, …
