The shape looks really nice. The lines look... too many and too thick. Happy to try it but what's your guess on pricing? I'd say 12-1300USD. Can it be 3.5X better than a Gong Plus at 375 euro for a 4M?
Nevermind. $900 for a 3m. $$$$$

Bar looks really refined but still nice and simple:
First time I've seen a Parawing offer with a wind range provided:
Big plus here, The lines are "trapped" at the ends like paraglider race lines. Likely unsheathed spectra like the Ensis, nice and slippery. Not just sewn like the BRM and Gong which leaves a sharp edge when you slide your hands up the lines. The bar also looks decent but it would be nice to have a built in spot to clip a leash instead of just the rear line leader.
The Ensis has a built in safety loop which collapses the center set of lines but I've never used it. Essentially B-line stalls the wing which kills the power but not sure how this will sit on the water in higher winds, may just continue to flop around. I Just clip to the rear line leader and it sits on the water nicely.
Same as PP4 above. Feeling like the 3M Ensis has about the same low end as my 3.5 V4 Strike at 87Kg on an 8' DW board. On my smaller board though I need a sustained 20 kn.
I've put an order in for a 2.4m in custom FFF colours! :)
Good days here on Lake Ontario 20-30 kts this will be perfect for me at 87kg with my KT Super K 60L and AFS Silk 850/142
Apparently there is a belt accessory coming too but haven't found any info on that yet.
Haven't noticed this as a problem though for tangles. If lines are already on that side of the bar you are tangled regardless of the red ball. I seem to end up needing to dis and reconnect my leash during the untangling process fairly often. I just switched to a Wichard clip on the harness end to make that easier but it is bound to accidently clip some lines at some point.
There is a significant learning curve to untangling lines while bobbing up and down in 2M swell and 25Kn+ wind.... And why is my board leash through one of my toes or wrapped around my foot 50% of the time... and always during the best gust
