PPC Orbit Para-Wing

The challenge with parawings was simple — existing single-skin designs offered such a limited wind range that sessions quickly became frustrating. We wanted to create a parawing capable of handling everything from 15–30 knots in the same session, without compromise.

The PPC Orbit is a dual-skin parawing built to cover a huge wind range without sacrificing downwind freedom. A patent-pending Power Assist Line (PAL) system delivers instant low-end power for easy take-offs, then releases into an efficient upwind machine. Developed with NOVA Paragliders and tested across New Zealand. Worldwide delivery.

The challenge with parawings was simple — existing single-skin designs offered such a limited wind range that sessions quickly became frustrating. We wanted to create a parawing capable of handling everything from 15–30 knots in the same session, without compromise. It needed to:

Drive efficiently upwind
Stash away effortlessly for true hands-free downwind freedom
Traditionally, those two characteristics don’t naturally coexist. A dual-skin wing will always fly upwind more efficiently than a single-skin design, delivering greater stability, improved efficiency, and reduced arm fatigue. However, single-skin wings are lighter and more compact, making them easier to stow while riding.

So we got to work. We partnered with NOVA Paragliders — winners of the 2025 Red Bull X-Alps — and tested extensively across a huge range of conditions throughout New Zealand. That combination of world-class engineering and real-world testing proved to be the perfect development formula. After extensive refinement in harsh and unpredictable conditions, the Orbit was born — a parawing designed to combine the best characteristics of both single and dual-skin concepts. Using ultra-light silicone-coated fabric and optimized short-line geometry for effortless stowing, we created a wing that:
Drives upwind with incredible efficiency
Packs away seamlessly into our Para Sack Belt system
Delivers exceptional comfort during long sessions

But one major challenge remained:
Low-End Power While dual-skin wings excel in top-end control and efficiency, they often sacrifice low-end power. That’s where the breakthrough happened.

Patent Pending POWER ASSIST Line System (PAL)

Introducing our patent-pending POWER ASSIST Line system (PAL), integrated directly into our custom ergonomic carbon bar.

By engaging the brake line into FULL BRAKE mode, the Orbit generates instant low-end power, helping riders get up on foil effortlessly in lighter winds. Once flying, simply release the brake system and the Orbit transforms back into a highly efficient upwind machine.

The result:
The low-end power of a single-skin wing
The upwind efficiency and comfort of a dual-skin wing
An enormous usable wind range
