Parawing Ranger Parawing North

The Ranger Parawing is a single-skin kite with an ultra-short bridle , designed to lift you off the foil using the wind, then stow away so you can continue foiling hands-free , harnessing the power of the ocean. It gives you the freedom to ride waves unrestricted, without a paddle, without an inflatable wing or kite , anywhere: lake, harbor, sea or dry land.

If you fall off the foil, simply redeploy your Ranger and continue.

The Ranger incorporates North's exclusive D-Rib technology, which holds the sail diagonally for optimal load distribution, reducing the number of bridle lines required. This also ensures the sail remains stable when the bar is released, and that the parawing is agile and responsive to subtle movements .

Another industry-first is the Depower Tab , an easily accessible, fluorescent yellow tab located midway along the bridle line. This acts like a handbrake, allowing you to reduce the kite's power. It can also be attached to the bar end to depower while riding.

The color-coded canopy and lines facilitate visual identification during takeoff or when deploying the lines, while the black leading edge (LE) allows easy navigation of the parawing during flight.

The Ranger packs down into a slim, lightweight backpack for on-the-water use, with additional straps and a pocket to secure a deflated wind wing or a second parawing . The backpack is designed so you can carry one Ranger in your hand (4m), and two more in the bag (3m + 5m), allowing you to change sizes to suit conditions or your riding style without returning to the beach . It has a close fit, duck dive capability, drains quickly, and features recycled polyester straps designed to fit over wetsuits or life jackets.

Parawing has already opened new areas for Downwind Foil , especially for those who lack the strength to paddle, but do have experience with the wind or kite.

In addition to being able to launch and then pack away, the Ranger can be used as a rescue kite for wingfoiling or paddleboarding at the start or end of a downwind run, to reach better waves without paddling or using a jet ski, especially in crosswind point breaks . It can also be used for launching in areas where there's no room to set up a wing or where kiting is prohibited.

In Freestyle and Freeride , it can also be used on land with Track skateboards or Dune mountainboards , or on ice, skates, skis or snowboards .
