As the Triple Seven Kites product range expands, choosing the right parawing for your style of riding can become a real challenge. Our lineup now includes several models that share many core characteristics, yet each is designed with a specific purpose in mind. Two of our most popular models — the P.T. Skin and the P.T. UDW — both deliver outstanding performance and control, but they shine in different environments and riding styles. In this article, we’ll help you understand the key differences between them so you can confidently choose the wing that best suits your needs.
How to Find the Perfect Parawing for You
The best way to choose your ideal parawing is to start by asking yourself a few important questions about your riding preferences. To make this process easier, we’ve created three comparison charts that visualize how each model performs across the main riding programs:
– Stowing & Redeployment – how compactly the wing can be packed and how easily it can be redeployed.
– Upwind vs. Downwind Performance – how efficiently the wing rides against or with the wind.
– Low-End vs. Top-End Range – how well it performs in light or strong wind conditions.
By identifying where your priorities lie within these categories, you’ll quickly understand which Triple Seven parawing is the best match for your goals.
Our Parawing Lineup
1. P.T. ParaTow – Double Surface
A performance-driven double-surface parawing built for riders who demand superior upwind. Ideal for longer rides, possible also in combination with downwind paddling where P.T. is used as device to return back to the starting point.
2. P.T. Skin
Our most recognized single-skin parawing, the P.T. Skin delivers an unmatched balance of simplicity, lightness, and responsiveness. It’s the ultimate choice for riders who value effortless setup, compact stowing, and intuitive handling.
3. P.T. UDW
The newest addition to the lineup — the P.T. UDW (Upwind Downwind Wing) — is designed for riders seeking a more downwind-oriented experience. With a shorter bar, shorter lines, and a lower aspect ratio, it offers smoother control, easy redeployment, and surprisingly good upwind capability for its design.
