Agree! Should be foil then sub Wingfoil, parawing Pronefoil...

This place would be pretty quiet if not for parawings, embrace the revolution.

Soon Laurie will just rename this group “Parawing Foiling” after the wings disappear from the market.

they won't. at least, not anytime soon. many of us do not like PWing.i was so happy to get away from bars and lines when winging came out.

Yes, please to separate PW forum

I have noticed the chatter has slowed right down on the foiling pages 😬probably could just have one forum titled foils at this rate.

I think this is relevant. I agree that all chatter has slowed. Hype train feels like it has reached the end of the tracks.

Laurie, if you’re watching, I wonder whether there might be an opportunity to rethink how the forum is structured. Perhaps we could bring all threads together into one main section, covering wingfoiling, parawinging, windsurfing, SUP, travel, etc., and allow users to filter posts by their preferred topics. That way, everyone could tailor the forum to their own interests while still having the flexibility to explore other topics whenever they like. Just a thought, but it might be worth considering as a way to make the forum more accessible and useful for everyone.

Easy enough, if you can create favorites.

I have asked for this many times before 🤔

Please not. Structure work fine and using Filters to find ur thing is bad UI.

Agreed. And I like being able currently to see in a matter of seconds if there is anything new in any forum by scrolling the list. I’d have to have 14 favourites which just gives me a list just like the existing forum list minus a few so what’s the point?

Can have a tag called "latest" or "new", which would display the latest post regardless of category.

The windsurfing and kiting forums have multiple subforums and have worked well for many, many years. I like being able to browse through my subforum area of interest and ignore the ones I’m not into.

I think parawinging should be moved to the kitesurfing/foiling section. It is just a short line kite after all and is not related in anyway to winging except for a common board/foil base.

You couldn’t be more wrong. A lot of us have replaced the wing in the waves as well - basically using it for the same purpose.

Quite a few comments have raised concerns about losing quick access to individual forum topics. The proposed change could address this without affecting those who prefer the current structure. ie Windsurfing, Kiting, Surfing etc.
Simply add a Favourites subheading under Forum, where users can select their preferred topics. All existing headings remain unchanged, giving everyone the best of both worlds.
Just a thought, but this could meet the need raised in the original post without disrupting anyone’s preferred setup.

Sort of like Subscribed or Active?

First world problems guys

Winging and pwing share so much in common in the way of equipment and even technique. They share nothing in common with kiting equipment.

Suck it up wingers. 😛

Most parawingers have come from winging and might still even offer the winger some good advice and not just hurry up and see the light.
