Well interesting to see that people are actually using and enjoying the plume. To me it looks like an evolutionary dead end. You get the compromised low end and pumping of a parawing and you can’t pack it away like an inflatable. Perhaps it flags a bit better than a normal inflatable wing but if you need to size up on the plume surely that would cancel out the better flagging. If you could be on a 3m wing or 5m plume surely the flagging would still be better on a 3m wing.

It would be interesting to see whether or not Fone continues production on these, so far no other brands have jumped on board.


With that said if you’re enjoying it and it works for you go for it.

I have a 4.2 Plume. The wind range on the F-one web site is accurate. The Plume is great fun in its optimal wind range. I can cheat the bottom end by a few knots (below the size chart) with a downwind board but it isn't really worth the effort. A hand wing is better in light conditions.
