DESIGNER’S NOTE
Living near the sea, I have always been drawn to wind-dependent sports. When testing our paragliding wings isn’t possible, I enjoy exploring the technical coastline near my home—the very place where the idea for the first RAM-air ParaWing P.T. was born. I was immediately captivated by the freedom a para wing provides, yet I felt that the current single-skin wings lacked needed performance. With a background in airfoil design, I spent a long time experimenting with different prototypes. Now, I believe we are offering the market something truly unique—something that will bring new sensations to this emerging sport. Designing this para wing has been an exciting journey, and I hope riders will experience and confirm the ideas I brought to life through their own adventures. I can’t wait to see how this sport evolves from here.
WHO IS IT FOR
The P.T. excels for riders who use the para wing in more technical areas, where high upwind performance is essential to reach the best spots for catching downwind lines or simply free ride and covering ground or sea with lots of power and performance. While the wing is designed with foiling in mind, it is highly versatile and performs just as well on snow, ice, or land. Its potential is limited only by the rider’s imagination. The inflated airfoil enhances the rider’s comfort, maintaining a stable and predictable profile at any angle of attack. This is made possible by the innovative Servo Chamber Bar, which ensures smooth and responsive handling. P.T. stands for “Performance Wing”—a design crafted to take you to places easier and faster than ever before.
AUTO POWER MANAGEMENT / SERVO CAMBER BAR
Our cutting-edge Servo system redefines parawing flight dynamics by functioning as a precision-engineered power steering mechanism. It ensures consistent, neutral bar forces across all flight regimes—from high to low angles of attack. This innovation delivers unparalleled control, making every flight smoother, safer, and more responsive, no matter the conditions.
Takeoff Phase (High Angle of Attack / High Lift Mode): When slowing down the parawing during takeoff or low-end conditions, the bar is pulled back. This action causes the B-lines to slide on a special slider, reducing the power to maintain this setting. When the bar is pulled back, the mixer progressively shortens the brake lines, curving the airfoil’s camber more to generate additional lift helping you to pump that start more efficiently.
Neutral Position (Best L/D): This configuration optimizes the lift-to-drag ratio, ensuring efficient and stable flight performance. With its automatic adaptation to the desired angle of attack, the P.T. optimizes the lift-to-drag ratio, delivering efficient and stable flight. This innovative design stands out for offering a highly performant yet remarkably simple and intuitive ride.
Cruising or Upwind Phase (Low Angle of Attack / Speed Mode): When accelerating or achieving the best speed or upwind angle, more pressure is applied to the front of the bar, causing the B-lines to slide back and compensate for front pressure. In this phase, the mixer fully releases the brake lines, making the profile camber more aerodynamically stable, reducing lift and minimizing the risk of overpowering.

Engaging the Downwind Option
The P.T. wing is a fully functional Ram-Air wing, renowned for its superior performance. It features specially designed nozzles that facilitate deflation when opting for a parawingless downwind run. While it packs slightly larger, this was not an issue during our prototype testing, even for longer runs. In more technical areas with shorter runs, the P.T. wing allows you to fly the waves while holding the lines. It remains ready for instant reinflation whenever you decide to move or head upwind again.
Effective Drainage System
We understand the critical need for a wing to perform at its best immediately after being retrieved from the water. That’s why we’ve equipped the P.T. Wing with an innovative drainage system, strategically positioned along the entire trailing edge.This design ensures that a significant portion of water escapes the wing as soon as it is lifted, minimizing downtime and maximizing performance. A specially engineered mesh works in tandem with air permeability, utilizing water tension to retain optimal aerodynamic properties.
This meticulously designed feature gives you the confidence to handle any situation, knowing your wing is ready to deliver peak performance with quick and efficient water release.
internal construction
While Triple Seven boasts extensive expertise in the development of Ram-Air wings, the P.T. wing has been innovatively crafted with meticulous attention to every detail of its internal construction. By incorporating diagonal supports and tension straps, we successfully reduced the number of lines, ensuring a super clean profile across all flying conditions. This also increases the overall performance L/D ratio, resulting in impressive upwind angles and enhanced towing power when needed.
MATERIALS
With the P.T. wing, we carefully selected the finest materials available. The lightweight canopy is essential, crafted from fabric that retains its shape and durability over an extended period. Our color-coded lines are designed for optimal performance and strength, enhanced by a water-repellent coating to ensure reliability in various conditions. This combination guarantees a superior performance with minimal maintenance.

The P.T., with its servo system, can tolerate high winds, so don’t be afraid that you will be overpowered. Optimising for a bigger size will reflect in easier take-offs, yet you will be able to run stronger winds as well.
In the unlikely event that the P.T. becomes fully submerged, an innovative technical solution comes into play. A specially designed drainage mesh runs along the entire trailing edge and tips, allowing water to drain instantly. By lifting the P.T. from the water by its leading edge, water is pushed through this mesh, and gravity swiftly does the rest. In just seconds, the wing is ready for reinflation, and you can continue your ride effortlessly.

How to Handle the P.T. in the Wind Like a Pro
While the P.T. is a different breed of parawing, it requires a slightly different approach to handling in the wind. With its single-skin design, the brake settings are on the shorter side, as it needs to be trimmed within a specific window to prevent it from collapsing quickly when turning into the windward position. This,
