Parawing Dawn Patrol Session - 11/7/2026

Good wind blowing this morning at Kailua Beach Park.

And the brown water from the last storm has mostly cleared up.

Prayot and Stu also made the trip over.


Same board and foil assembly - but for power I opted for the PPC Orbit 4.5


There was plenty of wind to ride and with the Orbit 4.5 I never felt overpowered.  But getting up on to foil did require some finesse (and waiting for the right gust - especially with all the chop on the water)


As usual, retracting the parawing at Jump City made for awesome rides.  And with the wind swell, the rides were pretty long and there were tons of sections to bank off of - 

I made about 60% of my redeploys - better than my WPB redeploys, but I'm going to have to focus on this aspect of my riding to get these numbers up.  Restarting really burns up my energy reserves.

The PPC Orbit is the smoothest tacking parawing ever - I got five in without any drama.  I'm going to keep hammering these out to get it to second nature muscle memory.


I'd say the outside had perfect wind - while the inside was good it you had a 5.0 (or didn't go down).


I think I'm gonna have to get that Domani 960 to go faster.


Super fun session!!!!
