The single-skin design with double-skin tips comes with a strong focus on stable flight and depower, making the Stash functional in a bigger range of winds and riding angles, while still having the lightest and smallest packing in mind for those seeking the pure sensation of gliding for miles.

The Stash has been fine-tuned over several months by our wing and kite designer Ken Winner in strong collaboration with our Downwind experts Finn and Jeffrey Spencer – making sure it’s not just an engine to get on foil but tackles the difficulties to make the end-goal of ultimate free-flight accessible to a broader audience.

Using special ultra-light 30g paragliding ripstop canopy, which flies earlier and stays in the air longer, packs down smaller and dampens gusts better for greater riding comfort, our team steered away from classic kite and wing ripstop canopy materials quickly. Sourcing thinner bridle lines to reduce drag and weight, and to further optimize packing was another key step in our Parawing-specific design.

The Stash combines the advantages of both worlds, single- and double skin in one design. A powerful and easy to pack single skin approach with closed-cell tips allowed our design team to achieve a gradual de-power through a simple move of your wrist, while the tips stay filled and in control at any time. The stabilized leading edge and the reduced ribs further optimize flying stability, drag and easy stashing.

Packing, sorting and re-launch of the Stash is made easy though three differently colored bridle sections, a colored mid-section of the leading edge, so you know where to grab for re-launch, and a color on the ergonomic Carbon bar showing you which side to steer forward – all steps towards making the goal of free flight more approachable.

Ultimately, it’s about the sensation of True Foiling when your Parawing is nicely stashed away!
