PARAWING  Foil Board

Our Dedicated Parawing board have been designed  for upwind and downwind Parawing - Their high speed glide in the water makes it easy to ride - weve put a lot of work into making a light / stable board that can be ridden at high speeds Downwind on  smaller Parawings and yet still be easy to get up on foil . 

Also super Ace  as light wind Wing Foil board as well, this board does it all..

 

Like all our shapes - we customise boards 'live' to your requirements based on a proven model that works - In this case the base dimensions of the Parawing 'boards  are broken up into Advanced and Allrounder categories. 

 

'ADVANCED Parawing Boards
 

'Suited to 75 - 85 Kg Advanced Riders who are working on Upwind to Downwind 'Stashed riding' connecting Bumps and riding smaller volume to pump further riding smaller foils 650 - 900sqcm)

6'10 x 22 x 45/16 @ 96 Litres.

6'6 x 23 x 4 1/2 @ 93 Litres

 

'ALLROUNDER Parawing Boards
 

'Suited to 75 Kg and over riders starting their Parawing journey that prioitise stability over pumping range. Working on Jiibes and Tacks and Down winding. These boards are easier to ride with a bit more width and volume but still pump really well and rip turns. 

6'5 x 24 x 5" @ 100 Litres

6'3 x 23 x 5" @ 94 Litres

 

There is more information and a video of the 'ALLROUNDER parawing boards here - https://www.hsfoil.com/product-page/sup-foil-board

 

The Board photographed (green machine) is the 6'10 - Its an Advanced Parawing model-  The Black and Red one is the 6'3 - AllRounder' Both are dreamy boards to ride in all disciplines.

 

Boards Come with  Full Deck Grip 

 

Following the trend towards shorter , less 'tracking' boards - the hsfoil Parawing board range has dimensions that we'd call the 'Magic' Formula   in relation to on water takeoff  speed for smaller foils, Its a super versatile low draw/ low swing weight board that weighs in at 5.1kgs.

 

Swing weight is almost un-noticable as these boards place the rider almost midships, If anything the length works toward straightening out your pump swing issues ... Some how I can pump the 6'10 further than my prone...

 

WIND GUIDE

LIGHT WIND WING GUIDE

Parawing these boards shows them to be very very slippery in even light wind - the fastest on the water being the longest. (6'10 x 22) 

 

BOARD SIZE GUIDE FOR PARAWING

 

Our Range of boards are built for Intermediate to advanced foilers, and as such we reccommend Parawing boards should start to work for you at about the same Literage as your body weight in a wetsuit. If your 85Kgs, Add 10 Kgs for your wetsuit in the winter. Your going to be suited for a board around 95Litres. 

 

OVERPOWERED on a PARAWING

Its easy to mismatch your board size to the wind strength when learning to parawing. 

 Im up and  flying when its around 18 knots and  on a BRM 4m. By 20 Knots I cannot hold the Parwing easily and start struggling with upwind sailing especially toeside. The Key is to downsize the parawing to something you can hang onto in the prevailing wind - so for 20 knots, the correct parawing size for me is probably a 3m... That means I can't get up on foil on any board shorter than about 6'6 x 23  if Im riding an 850sqcm foil.... The 6'10 x 22 at 96 Litres makes it easy to get the board speed I need to lift off, even running across the wind. 

 

A Harness makes a huge difference to your upwind sailing on these wings.

 

So the catch 22 with Parawinging is that getting on foil with the wing that suits the wind strength for upwind sailing leaves you a bit underpowered to get on foil in the first place. Using Wind Bumps, a faster board in the water than usual really helps you to get up... 

 

Any bump action at all underfoot makes a massive difference to that push required to get your- board speed up.

 

You may ask - why not just ride a DW board?

 

Totally - you can. DW boards give you the water speed - The Downside to a DW board is their 'tracking'.

The desired Tracking Built into the shapes of DW board help you to paddle them straight, Unfortunatly for Parawing riders, the inconsistent pull on the parawing requires constant balance adjustments left and right to keep your balance while gettting ready to fly on foil.

 

Specific shaping of the Parawing boards has been to make them 'steer' nice and easy with your feet its a kind of  'skatey' front feel that allows you to correct your balance in gusts, and pumps into bumps when your trying to get going. The shape allows the right mix of water speed combined with reasonable tracking. 

 

The Princibles behind hsFoils  Parawing Boards 

Foam is hidden in the centre of the board, while dramatic nose and tail rocker add to stability. Weve done well to hide the foam in a thicker profile,  to increase stability / glide and handling with shorter borads - its just weightless and stiff when your up and riding it makes you wonder why you'd take the prone to the beach. (Until youhave to duck dive..its a dreamy board to use anywhere..)  Weve made sure that foot shuffling from powering up to foiling is NIL. The boards are perfectly centred and foil from Dogging position. 

 

We want a DW Parawing thats pretty stable for 85kg riders, moves fast while dogging, Doesn't track - allowing adjustment steering while planing to get on foil... and when flying carves hard turns and bounces out of touchdowns.  Our DW Parawing board has a light tail kick to help 'unstick' the board as you hop into waves early... The ultimate stiffness and light weight is achieved via Biaxial carbon combined with Unistrand stringers and a reiforced carbon Mast track. This board is a refined winner. It just works everywhere - in all conditions. 

 

Handy as a light wind wing board too , The DW Para wing board is game changer...  The track is advanced  further forward to make the board feel like a much smaller board. Its high dogging speed allows you to ride small foils as well as small Parawings

 

How and Why this design works for Dw...

 

Parawing is used to launch, stow - after that you need a fast ride with glide to get to the next bump / power source. You also need a light swing weight board that pumps like a dream. 

 

To improve pump and reduce swing weight, the mast tracks are further forward, mimicking the typical feel and nose to mast lengths of our prone and Wing board range. Foilers riding this board will be positioned right in the centre of the board when up and pumping. 

 

Construction 

Biaxial carbon and stiffening HD core used to maximise stiffness and strength overall . Boards are customised in width, length and litrage based on Riders customisations... Video samples of your dimension shapes are emailled to you for varification before glassing commences.
