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 …

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 …

The session kicks off with the Tucker hopping on the 2026 Ozone PowerPack and Omen Flux Foilboard. In this no-talking, stoke-driven ride, you'll see Michigan's winter riding conditions, small swell, and the smooth flow of parawinging. Video Observations You can see how quickly the wing catches the wind, providing immediate tension and the pull needed to get the Omen Flux board up and moving. The power delivery is smooth and consistent, allowing navigation through the initial chop to gain enoug …

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 spent any time around the shop listening to the crew or watching our videos, you already know how much time Jeff and Tucker have logged on the Flux platform. The original was a go-to for years. The kind of board you grab without thinking because you know it's going to work. With the Flux V2, the vibe is pretty simple: same DNA, but now it gets up easier, rides smaller, and feels even more dialed once you’re flying. And after hearing Jeff come back from La Ventana and getti …

If you've been searching for a single board that can handle light-wind winging, parawinging, prone foiling, and even Foil Drive sessions, the Omen Emissary deserves a serious look. We've been putting it through its paces in a range of conditions, from glassy 9-knot summer sessions to overhead waves with 20-plus knots of breeze, and the results have been impressive enough to warrant a full breakdown. What Is the Omen Emissary? The Omen Emissary is a multi-discipline foil board built with …

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, …

A Lightweight, Stable, and Rider-Friendly Step Forward in Parawinging Parawinging continues to evolve rapidly, and with that growth comes a wave of new designs aimed at making the sport more accessible, more stable, and more enjoyable across a wider range of riders and conditions. In this review, Tucker from MACkiteboarding.com takes a deep dive into the Triple Seven P.T. Skin Parawing, a wing that stood out enough to earn a spot in the shop’s lineup despite being a brand they had not …

In this episode of Duotone Wing & Foiling Tech Talks, the design team takes a deep dive into the 2026 Stash, Duotone’s second-generation parawing. Standing on Maui, Klaas is joined by Jeffrey Spencer from the Duotone design team to break down what has changed, why it matters, and how months of on-water testing led to a meaningful leap forward in parawing performance. Parawinging is still a young discipline, but its growth has been fast. With more brands entering the space, Duotone …

Parawinging is rapidly emerging as the next big evolution in foiling sports. From the downwind runs of Hawaii to the iconic conditions of Hood River, more riders are discovering how this self-powered discipline unlocks the thrill of foiling without relying on perfect downwind conditions or shuttle logistics. In this comprehensive breakdown from Code Foils, we’ll walk through what parawinging is, why it’s taking off, and the ideal setup to get started—including wing size, fo …

The Importance of Ground Practice Like any wind sport, progression starts on land. Practicing on the beach helps you understand how the parawing reacts to wind, your movements, and line tension before adding the complexity of balance on a board. Spend time getting comfortable with the equipment in a controlled environment. Setting Up Your Parawing Before your first flight, follow these key setup steps: Unpack and Prepare: Remove the parawing from its bag and inspect your lines, handle, an …

What Is Parawinging? Parawinging is the newest evolution in the world of foiling—a discipline that strips away the wing’s inflatable structure and instead relies on the rider’s strength, balance, and finesse to harness the wind. Think of it as a fusion between downwind SUP foiling and traditional wing foiling, but with a minimalist approach that offers a unique challenge and reward. Without the stability of an inflated wing, parawinging demands more from your technique, bal …

Parawinging is still new territory, and half the fun is figuring it out together. Here, Tucker and Bowen trade notes on what works, what doesn't, and what might be next. They cover gear quirks, riding techniques, and the bigger picture of where the sport is headed and how it can stay safe and accessible. It's an open, honest chat between two riders who love the process as much as the progression. Tucker: Hey everybody, welcome back to Foil Fridays. This is Tucker with MACkiteboarding, and …

Jeff and Ryan went out for a session together in Muskegon but had very different experiences. Ryan was on a wing, while Jeff opted for a parawing. He's had a couple hours on parawings, but it's still a new skill for him, while Ryan had never used one before. They'd originally planned to swap gear during the session, but the conditions weren't ideal for parawinging and Ryan decided to wait for a better day to give it a try. What were those conditions like, what did each of them ride, and h …

And now it's time for a PSA about parawing safety, brought to you by Tucker and Jeff. Are you an experienced winger? Were you raised in the water like a tadpole and you feel completely comfortable on a board? Are the waves your happy place? Have you decided to pick up a parawing so you can ride the swell hands-free? Great! And did you remember to wear your vest? No? Well, you don't wear one while you're winging, and a parawing is pretty much the same thing, right? That's what Jeff thought …
