BRM parawing 2025 alternatives : Born-kites, Gong, Ensis, (...)

3m2 overpowered: 20/25 knots or more ?

67 kg =

a lot of nasty gusts

Fwiw, these are much harder than winging, but in the same style. Learning to wing first will be easier I think.

I have kited a lot and I paraglide, I have a better feeling with parawing :wink:

This guy produces great parawing reviews.

Duotone is farther forward at this moment. Feels like more mature than others, nails most of the points.

On the parawing side, the Flysurfer POW range, is praised for its efficiency both in light and high winds.

Very promising concept by F-one called K-wing, and a first model called Plume

New kind of foil:

I’m thinking that with a parawing, it’s actually easier to use a remote in hand simultaneously. Here’s why:

  1. One hand is completely free, so hold the remote there, or
  2. The other hand stays in a fixed position on the bar, so you can attach the remote there

F-one, not only offers a supported inflatable leading edge parawing called the Plume, they also offer a BRM-like called the Frigate :

At 1:09 there is something new that the competition should adopt.

I think the naish one has a similar bridle handle, for water restart and depower.

It’s weird isn’t it? I thought they would be keen to take a share of this.

I jumped in and went for the gong lowkite. I’m really enjoying it.

What size and what wind speeds are you using it in the most?

I’m using the 4m the most. 5m just feels too big IMO. The 3m is lovely. I need around 15 knots to get going on the 4m with a DW board and a big foil.

Would you sell 5m² and which one you have?

I have the gong lowkite in 3m, 4m and 5m. I’m not selling any as yet. I want to master the basics with these and then switch in a while once the newer versions have come out. The development and improvements seem to be happening pretty quickly.

Pansh and I have a very different view on the term “coming soon”. It’s been advertised like that for around 8 months. Last email I had said it would be released mid September but that has been and gone. Any further info on a release date?
