ParaWinging compresses the essentials of foiling into a lean, equipment‑efficient discipline that uses a power wing to accelerate you onto a foil and onto waves, swells and wind swells. In Pleasantville you’ll spend concentrated time with instructors who guide both land‑based technique and on‑water application in a single two‑hour session.

THE TECH

ParaWings: Minimal kit, maximum lift

ParaWings are designed to reduce the bulk of traditional setups while still producing the power necessary to get you up on a foil and riding waves and swells—an efficient path to foiling progression.

THE LESSON

Two hours split between land drills and on‑water practice

Instruction is structured across land and water so you hone posture, wing handling and foil timing on shore before applying that work in open water during the same two‑hour lesson.

THE REQUIREMENTS

Bring your kit and bring your skills

This lesson assumes prior foiling experience at an intermediate level; using your own board and foil is recommended to reduce variables, though equipment may be provided subject to availability.

What the day feels like

What the Lesson Feels Like

The session is a tightly focused progression: instructors refine your form on land, then translate those same cues into the water portion where the wing’s power lifts you onto the foil. Expect concentrated coaching aimed at smoothing the transition from foil experience to efficient ParaWing flight.
