Coming from a kitesurfing background. When I first saw someone kitefoiling my reaction was "bs.. why would anyone want to ride such a thing?" ..two years later, I possesed a whole family of different foils and my twintip bareley saw water again. When I first saw someone foiling with a wing my reaction was "bs..that wing pumping looks silly and inefficient.. and why foiling with such a thing if you can have kite?" ..well, I still do prefer kitefoiling but got into wingfoiling nevertheless. When I first saw someone pumpfoiling I thought "bs.. this looks ridiculous.. why would anyone want to do that?".. again, just hit the one minute mark pumpfoiling recently. I'm trying not to be judgemental this time. Probably going to own one and love on or two of these in the not so far future :) Great footage and filming by the way!
in windy condition I think with this no pumping anymore, I skydive and it seems like a similar canopy (maybe speedflying profile or paragliding) but easy to deplo and super light
Holy shit! Completely forgot about those. It's crazy to think my birthdate was about as close to the end of the FIRST World War as it is to present day.
Imagine putting some longer lines on that thing so you could really get it flying fast and thus generating even more power up higher where the air currents are cleaner. I bet that could even become an Olympic sport someday.
@@mconti564Maybe in a few years. This is version 1. Kinda like that video of Kai Lenny on the first wing ding. It has a long way to go. But, yes. The sport is progressing / evolving very quickly. Foils. Boards. Wings. Everything. So no surprise. 😎🤙
Looks brilliant. Don’t need to cling to an inflated pool toy or be bent in half by a powerful kite hundreds of feet in the air. More development will occur, and that’s a wonderful thing!
I used to be a paragliding pilot, for those concerned about tangles, honestly it’s no issue with short cascades, most often it will sort itself out when the kite inflates. In time less lines will be the norm imo, less drag etc..
I am also working on "4-lines only" Kite at the moment. It flies OK, You can feel the traction of a 2.5 m2 kite in a good wind. But not tested on water, yet.
@@kadirhaldenbilen6149 Peter Lynn already invented that, the arc. Still fly my phantoms. And come to think of it, Steffen from Born kites already invented this, it's called the Street Star. 1 handed control, single surface kites. As the name suggests, used with land board or skate board, but no reason it wouldn't work like the brm.
@@collider4378F Arc is a twin skin. Would be very difficult to relaunch or even recover in water. It will sink in swallowing enourmus amount of water. I am working on single skin, stillno bridles, but using a few battens.
Game-changer for tricky spots. I launched ar the spot I prone foil and I destroyed my board and wing. Shredded it to pieces and popped both bladders. Also seems great to travel with. I could probably get away with smaller 4'10" 60L wing board and a 5M+ parawing. It would fit in my "golf bag" and be lighter. Awesome videos as always! I just wonder if BRM will have demos for a beginner like myself to see what it's all about and be swayed to purchase.
That thing is awesome! BRM might consider using a snuffer sleeve like they use for spinnakers on sailboats. That would contain everything when it's not being used. Keep up the development Woohoo!
As usual, your footage is mesmerizing. I’m a kite foiler that’s slowly trying to learn winging and this footage is inspirational Looks more fun holding those tiny paragliders than a bulky wing
2:45 I like the way he got rid of all the power just by folding the kite under his arm. I'm also guessing that a big drawn to this approach is the weight of carrying this kite vs wing+pump
I'm interested for sure. I spent a solid chunk of cash on inflatable wings and I don't like them because they're so annoying to inflate and deflate and pack. And then once you surf/dw, you're just dragging it around behind you.
Ok hear me out. Could I shorten the lines on a 2.4M power kite swap the bar around and get the same effect. Would love one but a $900 punt seems a bit much for me.
That’s how the parawing began and we have a couple guys trying it right now with some success. The question is not so much if other cheaper kites could work with some modifications but really how much better a Parawing works 🤔🤙🏼
Great innervation. While watching this new thing rip around the ocean I ask, why is the foil mast so narrow when raw sensitivity is always the most difficult part of foiling.
Its really good in that the kite is small and easy to transport and store and keep clean and dry. Would love to try all those type of sports one day but in the past owning and maintaining all the kit has been a bit of a turn off, being that I live a long way from the coast so wouldnt get used so regularly.
It’s pretty similar from my perspective and it seems dependent on how much power you got. It might take a little longer going upwind but the reward of hands free downwind foiling is probably worth it 🤙🏼
It makes tonnes of sense to get the boards with feet sleeves, they provide better footing and control of the boards in the water. Why struggle ? Cheers.
I think it's so new that there's some learning curves. It seems the leading edge needs to face the wind. I would think an upwind tack may be possible but very difficult. And a downwind tack would work but seems like you gotta fold it up and re-inflate. Give it some time and a v2 may solve these issues?
By no means am I skilled rider. But this is quite the revolutionary change to wind sports and foiling. I don't like kites because the complexity and always being powered up. I also met a lady that lost her finger kiting. I've heard you need lessons. I don't like winging because they are bulky and annoying to setup. You gotta always hang onto it and guide it around. But it's very easy to learn. (I got going 1st session). I don't like SUP downwind because the logistics and the insane dedication it takes to master. I like the idea of hand paddles but you need some massive bumps to get going. I much prefer prone foil surf/dw as it's very simple and easy. Jump in the water and just go. BUT THIS. You can now use a smaller board, jump in at a spot you typically would prone. Unstuff your wing from the bag. Sheet in, get on foil, send it DW and pack it away. Unpack again if you gotta get back up. I can imagine the upwind ability is good enough. No more logistical issues you see with SUP DW.
Looks very fun until lines tangle. And there are a lot of lines to tangle. My small training kite with far fewer lines can be pain to untangle even over land.
How can i get this product? I foil at a beach break , this would make paddling out through the surf and packing away to surf back in would be a dream come true !
Wait until Ozone get a fix on this, their experience in kites and ram air paragliders will change the face of this sport. This is no fad, it’s a game changer that will develop very quickly.
@@brynmrsh they perfected the single surface paraglider 12 years ago. The current model is the XXLite 2. The problem is high line consumption with single surface designs. Double surface ram air designs can be made with far fewer lines because of the internal pressure and supporting ribs.
So epic. This is game changing. At first I thought these were a silly idea but obviously not. For all the doubters, do some research, go watch the video Steve Tobis did on this product!
Maybe the lines could be a bit longer so the kite is flying higher and catches more wind? Also maybe than a sort of rig on your body to hook it up so your arms don't get tired fast?
I'm no expert, but this seems like it would pretty damn difficult in light wind simply because you need to get it high up in the wind along. I n lighter wind, this may want to droop and stay wet and need a solid gust to inflate and stay inflated. But once it's in the air, I'd imagine could be as good as a traditional wing.
Sweet!!! Now I can avoid the wing super pump that always looks so cool, NOT!?! It’s the best hybrid application of foiling I’ve ever see and much more like kiter vibes… which for some of us still matters. My .02
Yes, I was sitting in my car watching a a bunch of people doing the pump thing as it wasn't particularly windy enough, and I was absolutely laughing my ass off at what a bunch of goofballs they looked like. Of course, that was me sitting in my car, while they were out there! 😂
The Brothers Drexler!! Looks like Eric is getting the ParaWing right away at 1:30 - I think that's him anyway :) Thanks JD for remote view into the ParaVerse :)
@@JDFollowCam Always learning new stuff from your videos. Thanks as always!!!! Do you remember what size wings people were on that day? Still wrapping my head around parawing to wing size comparison. Thanks!!!!
Can you show footage of the twitchy thing getting all twisted and tangled up? Looks silly how they collapse it and stuff it under their armpits. I can see no useful application other than for doing downwinders.
So what about using a NASA wing? It has loads of pull in a compact package. I am guessing the shape of a nasa wing would also make it more stable than these.
Ok these are cool. But not $900-1,300 cool. But I’m sure competition and more affordable options will come along. At the $5-800 range I'd be all over this.
@@brutally_honest yes they're the same cost. But an inflatable wing comes with a lot of material, windows, handles, valves, bladders, zippers, leashes, etc. Inflatable wings are far more complex. I just figured since these are much simpler they'd be cheaper. But I get it, it's new. Nobody else offers it. It took tons of time and research to develop.
Foiling looks great and I’m sure it’s very fun but it’s a fad and will fade away. Standard fin windsurfing is a feeling like no other and will be around forever
If you think it's very fun why would you say it's just a fad. Just an observation of being around foilers and windsurfers every day out in the water I can tell you most foilers look way happier 😁 then most windsurfers 😞
Finally you can kite with a shopping bag

Killer camerawork JD -- and so rad to see the parawings in action up close. Beautiful!

The speed at which this sport is progressing! Can’t wait to see the potential of these unlocked
I just discovered wing foiling, I haven’t even gotten gear yet and you throw this at me?
This is more for downwinding, requires lots of wind and skills to use so I wouldn't bother just go winging and enjoy this fantastic sport

@@JDFollowCam Time to dust off and modify my 20+ year old trainer kite LOL. Anyone else still have theirs?😆
We salute you Gents, you are pushing the limits of the and the sport tech forward!
Would a good application for these be to ride way upwind and then sup foil back downwind? Or is that kinda defeating the point.
That’s exactly the point, up-parawinging and downwind foiling without a paddle 🤙🏼
As usual, your footage is mesmerizing.

What's the minumum wind speed needed to make it possible to practice parawinging?
Thanks!
Not sure, it's been 25mph+ lately so we'll have to wait for the wind to back off 🤙🏼

Great video by Steve and he just posted a nice follow up video 🤙🏼
Bloke at my local has been using Radio Control Paraglider Parafoils for the last 5 years.
Maybe the lines could be a bit longer so the kite is flying higher and catches more wind? Also maybe than a sort of rig on your body to hook it up so your arms don't get tired fast?

Whats really nice about these is no air that can escape and leave you stranded off shore. Thats my biggest fear when wingin far out.

Now what they need to do, is attach it to a mast and have the handle connected to it. No ropes to tangle!
keep the ideas coming, this is evolution right in front of our eyes 🤙🏼
Just need some longer lines then sorted
Are you able to upwind?
Yes, very similar to a regular wing 🤙🏼

Can you show footage of the twitchy thing getting all twisted and tangled up? Looks silly how they collapse it and stuff it under their armpits. I can see no useful application other than for doing downwinders.
