Includes: Parawing, Carbon Control Bar, Onwater Backpack North Ranger Parawing Downwind Foil Parawing The Ranger Parawing is a super short-bridled single-skin kite designed to get you up on foil using the wind, then pack away so you can foil hands-free using the energy of the ocean. It gives you freedom to surf the swell unrestricted, without a paddle, inflatable wing or kite in any location - lake, harbor, ocean or land. If you fall off foil, simply pull your Ranger back out and go. The Ranger features our North exclusive D-Rib technology to diagonally support the canopy for optimal load distribution, and reduce the number of bridles required. It also means the canopy remains stable when depowering the bar, and the parawing is responsive and reacts to subtle steering input. Another industry first is the Depower Tab, located within easy reach midway along the fluoro yellow LE Bridle line. The Depower Tab acts as a handbrake, allowing the rider to dump power from the kite, and the tab can also be hooked on the end of the bar to depower while riding. Colour-coded canopy and bridles allow faster visual reference when launching or running-out lines, while the black LE makes it easy to navigate the parawing for flight. The Ranger packs down into a lightweight slimline onwater backpack with additional straps and stash pocket to secure a deflated wind wing or second parawing on the water. The bag is designed so you can take one Ranger in the hand (4m), and two more in the bag (3m+5m), then change sizes to suit conditions or riding style, without going back to beach. The bag is close fitting to be able to duck dive with, drains quickly and features recycled polyester webbing straps, sized to fit over wetsuits and life vests. Already the parawing has opened up more downwind foiling spots, especially for riders who are not paddle-strong, but have wind/kite backgrounds. Beyond just pulling you up onto foil then stashing, the Ranger can be used as a rescue chute for wingfoiling or paddling, at the start or end of a downwind paddle to get out into better bumps, for surfing waves without pumping or a jetski – especially point breaks with side shore breeze. To launch when there is no space to set up a wing or kiting is banned. For Freestyle and Freeride, on land with the Track skateboard or Dune Mountainboard, or on ice skates, skis or snowboard.
