What is the right foil size for learning to Parawing? copyUpdated 2 months ago

There is no general rule for foil size when it comes to Parawinging; however, it is important not to choose a foil that is too small, especially at the beginning. A foil with an aspect ratio between 9 and 12 and an area between 800 and 1400 cm² is suitable for most riders.

A rider weighing 90 kg is well-advised to start with the Duotone Glide 2.0 1350, while a rider weighing 70-75 kg can also do very well with the Glide 2.0 900 and stay on the foil for an extended period after retrieving the Parawing. The ideal foil size depends heavily on the rider's weight, skill level, and the wave conditions. The lighter and more experienced the rider is, and the faster the waves, the smaller the foil can be chosen.
