Hi all,


From what I see, most riders and youtube test reviews are always using the 3-4 m? range. I rarely come across anyone talking about larger parawings, which makes me wonder:
- Are bigger sizes not yet bought and as market evolves, riders will expand their quiver to 5-6 m2 ??
- Are large parawings of second generation still facing stability / issues, or just diminishing returns?

So the real question: Is it worth going for a bigger parawing (5.5 or 6 m?) to make light wind sessions fun?
...or is PW simply not the right tool once the wind drops below a certain threshold ?


For context, I'm a solid winger, 94 kg , enjoying wing in 16+ knots ... and I'm looking for PW in 12-18 Knt. That's what got me interested in parawing for low wind days....Would love to hear from anyone with real experience on larger sizes-especially heavier riders.

Thanks!

Hi all,
I'd like to open a thread to collect ideas, experiences, and hands-on mods for the amazing OZONE Pocket Rocket[/b], especially inspired by some of the Power Pack[/b] improvements-but also anything new you've tested or are thinking about.

Some starter ideas to kick things off:

-Shorter handle-bar ?
-Removing the attachment of the B-lines to the handle-bar, similar to the Power Pack approach - pros/cons?
-Adding an easy attach/detach leash point - cleaner, faster, and safer solutions?
-Modding A-lines for easier stashing. Less knots, less lines, grouped A lines ?
-Bridle simplification or rerouting ideas?
-Anything else you've tried or would like to test?

If you've already done a mod, it would be great if you could share: What you changed Why you did it What worked / what didn't Photos or sketches if possible Even half-baked ideas are welcome-often that's where the good stuff starts.

Looking forward to learning from the collective brain trust ??
