I think I'll give the Parawing a try, I'm 95kgs, experienced winger, 88ltr Armstrong FG board. I really want to try DWing and think this may be a good way to do it.
I've heard lots on 'bridle' set ups and wing sizes and that there are different brands. Any recommendations for me in terms of size and brand/configuration, etc?

There's only currently the BRM parawing and the five-O windsports pocket wing available. Although I wouldn't really count the pocket wing as it doesn't properly go upwind so that makes the only real option the BRM parawing.
I am also keen on the parawing thing but might give it some time to see what other options become available. Seeing protos from gong and ensis. On social media, north is confirmed to be bringing one out. I am excited for the potential but it's early days yet.
I have the 4m parawing and am 93kg. I use it with a 110L DW board, 1080HA and so far need 15 knots minimum to get it going reliably. New bridle arrangement is a big improvement, especially upwind (similar to wing now). Bit of a learning curve involved!
