En savoir plusPocket Wing and Parawing: The Compact Wing for Downwind Riding
Updated July 2026
The pocket wing, also known as a parawing, is an ultra-compact, flexible wing with no inflatable structure, held by a line connected to a belt. It folds into a small pocket and packs away in an instant, making it ideal for getting upwind and then gliding effortlessly on the swell. Here at GlissEvolution, your trusted shop in Pornichet since 2005, our team of experienced riders is ready to help you choose the perfect model for your riding style. This section is part of our wing foil collection; don't forget to check out our classic wing, board, and foil options too.
Pocket Wing, Parawing, K-Wing: What's the Difference?
Watersports terminology evolves quickly. Generally speaking, both parawing and pocket wing refer to a soft, strutless wing that's super lightweight and foldable, held by a line. The k-wing is a variation of this design. All these wings share the same core philosophy: maximum compactness and freedom, though they require a bit more technique than a classic wing. In broad lines, they are similar.
What's It Best For?
The pocket wing truly shines for downwind and freefly riding. You'll use it to launch your foil and get upwind, then simply pack it away to surf the bumps unhindered. It's also an excellent choice for light travel or for experienced foil riders looking to add variety to their ride feel.
How Do You Hold It?
The pocket wing connects to a belt via a harness line, which frees up your arms and makes it super easy to store the wing in its pocket while you're riding. Make sure you have a suitable belt and a good leash as part of your essential gear.
What's the Budget for a Pocket Wing?
As a guide for 2026, excluding any sales, expect prices to start from around €700 depending on the brand and size. We proudly stock top brands like Ozone, F-ONE, Flysurfer, Duotone, and Altis.
