When one of the world’s most respected watersports publications puts your products through extensive real-world testing, the result speaks louder than any marketing claim. We are proud to announce that two Triple Seven parawings—the P.T. Hybrid and the P.T. LTX—have been selected among The Inertia’s Top 5 Parawings of 2026 in their comprehensive comparative review.
For us, this recognition represents much more than a ranking. It validates the design philosophy we’ve pursued since entering the parawing market: creating wings with a clear purpose, each offering its own unique balance of performance, handling, and usability.
Recognized for Innovation
The review highlights two very different approaches to parawing design—both developed by Triple Seven.
P.T. Hybrid – Widest Wind Range
The P.T. Hybrid was recognized as the best choice for riders seeking the widest wind range, thanks to its unique hybrid canopy construction that combines the efficiency of a double-skin leading section with the simplicity and power delivery of a single-skin trailing section.
According to The Inertia, the Hybrid delivers:
Outstanding upwind performance
Exceptional top-end stability
Excellent packability despite its hybrid construction
A remarkably wide usable wind range
Sizes reaching up to 7.2 m for light-wind performance
The review also notes the Hybrid’s distinctive “glider-like” feeling, describing its ability to absorb gusts while maintaining stability—qualities that have become hallmarks of the design.
P.T. LTX – The Perfect Balance
While the Hybrid pushes the limits of performance, the P.T. LTX was praised as a lighter, more compact, and highly user-friendly alternative.
The Inertia describes the LTX as a wing that successfully captures many of the Hybrid’s advantages while offering:
Shorter lines for quicker handling
Outstanding packability
Excellent wind range
Nimble and playful flying characteristics
Easy redeployment
Comfortable handling for a broader range of riders
The LTX represents our philosophy that performance doesn’t have to come at the expense of simplicity.
Different Riders. Different Priorities.
One of the most rewarding aspects of the review is that it recognizes what we’ve believed from the beginning: there is no single “perfect” parawing. Every rider values different characteristics.
Some prioritize maximum upwind angles and efficiency. Others look for effortless stowing, intuitive redeployment, compact packing, or forgiving handling in changing conditions.
At Triple Seven, we don’t believe in chasing one specification at the expense of everything else. Instead, each model is designed around a carefully balanced concept, allowing riders to choose the wing that best matches their riding style.
A Recognition for Our Entire Development Team
Parawinging continues to evolve at an incredible pace, and so do we. From the very beginning, our goal has been to question conventional solutions and explore new concepts—from single-skin designs to hybrids and beyond. Every product we release is the result of countless hours of design, prototyping, testing, and feedback from riders around the world.
Seeing two of our products recognized among the industry’s top-performing parawings is an honour for everyone involved in their development.
