The Parawing Foil trend is making waves in the foiling world, merging elements of kite foiling, windsurfing, and wing foiling into a dynamic new discipline. Unlike traditional wing foiling, where riders hold a hand-held inflatable wing, parawing foiling utilizes a paraglider-style wing attached to handle bar, offering a more efficient and hands free downwind foil experience.
Thanks to the Team at ENSIS who provided us with the Parawing, we are able to take our viewer on a journey from complete beginner to (hopefully soon) advanced Parawing Foiler.
This is the first video of many and as you can see the struggles are real. The deployment of the para-shoot is not as easy as lines can get tangled. De-powering the Parawing in gusty and strong winds is also not as easy as many like to believe.
We highly recommend for everyone to get familiar with the equipment on dry land before taking it to the water.

Intuitive design, effortless handling
Every detail of the ROGER ensures seamless performance and intuitive use. The wing, bar, and bridles are color-coded, enabling riders to quickly identify the leading and trailing edges. The bridle layout minimizes the chance of tangling, but if a tangle does occur, our 3-Point Bridle System allows for easy untangling. The bar features a central hole through which the center bridles pass, attaching to a leash or harness.
Challenges and Learning Curve
While the parawing foil trend is innovative, it comes with a learning curve. Managing the wing without direct hand control requires understanding aerodynamics and harness techniques, making it more appealing to advanced riders rather than complete beginners. Additionally, launching and landing the parawing safely in different wind conditions is still an evolving technique.
Is Parawing Foiling Here to Stay?
The sport is still in its early days, but as more riders experiment with this new setup, its potential is becoming evident. With brands developing specialized equipment and refining wing designs, parawing foiling could become the next big evolution in the foiling world—especially for those looking for an ultra-efficient, high-glide experience.
