We wanted to create a parawing capable of handling everything from 15–30 knots in the same session, without compromise. It needed to:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrive efficiently upwind\u003cbr\u003eStash away effortlessly for true hands-free downwind freedom\u003cbr\u003eTraditionally, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo 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:\u003cbr\u003eDrives upwind with incredible efficiency\u003cbr\u003ePacks away seamlessly into our Para Sack Belt system\u003cbr\u003eDelivers exceptional comfort during long sessions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut one major challenge remained:\u003cbr\u003eLow-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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePatent Pending POWER ASSIST Line System (PAL)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroducing our patent-pending POWER ASSIST Line system (PAL), integrated directly into our custom ergonomic carbon bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy 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.
