The Flysurfer POW 2 2026 is the second generation of Flysurfer's pop out wing: a single-skin parawing designed for downwind, Surf, and drift. Lighter and simpler than the V1, it adds two new sizes (2.3 and 3.0 m²) for the medium wind range, a shortened bridle for faster packing and deployment, and a redesigned angled carbon handle for more intuitive control.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The Pop Out Wing concept
The POW 2 is the tool designed by Flysurfer to free you from any constraints on the water. Deploy the wing to get upwind or for glide, then pack it away into its backpack when you want to surf a clean wave with your hands completely free. This second generation refines the pop out wing concept with faster packing, simpler deployment, and more intuitive control. The result is a wing that works for beginners looking for their first downwind tool, as well as for experienced riders who want to link multiple surf sessions with quick upwind legs.
Single-surface (single-skin) technology
The POW 2 uses a single-skin construction that prioritizes minimal weight and responsiveness. It delivers power instantly, and its depower is smooth across the entire wind range, with no sudden jolts. This approach makes the wing lighter, simplifies packing, and speeds up deployment. The integrated anti-flapping ribs create a more stable structure in gusty conditions and improve the wing's overall durability.
Sheathed Fluorescent Bridle, Shortened Geometry
The bridle has been reworked in two key areas. First, its length: shortened on all sizes, it makes the wing easier to pack down and set up, and lets you gather it all up in one go. Second, visibility: the B, C, and Z sections are sheathed and fluorescent, making them easy to spot in the water, reducing tangles and protecting the line cores. The sheathing is also softer on your hands during repeated handling. The A section keeps its soft feel, optimized for packing. Color-coded lines make for an intuitive setup and prevent rigging errors.
Angled Carbon Handle, No Pulley
The handle has been redesigned to be more compact and angled to match the natural position of your wrist. The result is less fatigue on long sessions and easier packing thanks to its shorter length. For control, the pulley from the previous version has been removed. This makes the wing less sensitive to over-sheeting when you tilt the handle, simplifies the steering, and reduces the risk of tangles. The updated geometry also provides more depower at the top end, improving upwind ability and control in gusty conditions.

FAQ
Who is the Flysurfer POW 2 for?
The POW 2 is designed for all levels, from beginner to professional rider. Its intuitive steering, progressive power delivery, and smooth depower make it accessible for discovering parawing. Its extended wind range and more precise top-end performance also satisfy advanced riders looking for an allround pop out wing for downwind, Surf, and drift.
What are the main new features vs the POW (V1)?
Five major upgrades: 1) an expanded size range with two new mid-range sizes (2.3 and 3.0 m²); 2) a shortened bridle on all sizes, with fluorescent sleeving for safety and visibility; 3) a redesigned, more compact and ergonomic carbon angled handle; 4) the pulley has been removed for a more direct feel and less risk of tangles; 5) more depower at the top end for better upwind performance.
Which POW 2 size to choose?
The 1.7 m² is for very windy days (22 knots and up). The 2.3 and 3.0 m² sizes cover strong to solid medium winds (17 to 32 knots); this is the range where most riders will find their core size. The 4.0 m² is for standard medium winds (14 to 23 knots), while the 5.5 m² is the light wind size, usable from 10 knots. A typical starter quiver is a 3.0 + 4.0, or a 4.0 + 5.5, depending on your local spot.
Why a single-skin construction?
The single-skin construction reduces the wing's weight to a minimum, speeding up packing and deployment. It also delivers instant power with smooth depower. This is the ideal design for a pop out wing intended to be packed away and relaunched multiple times per session. Integrated anti-flutter ribs address the main drawback of single-skin designs by stabilizing the canopy in gusty conditions.
What's included in the POW 2 pack?
The pack includes the POW 2 wing, the Flysurfer parawing backpack (usable on the water and designed for foiling), a carbon angled handle, a J-Loop, a safety guide, and a repair kit. The ESCAPE Harness, designed specifically for downwind, is available as an optional extra and is sold separately.
Is the ESCAPE Harness necessary?
It's not essential to get started, but the ESCAPE Harness is highly recommended if you regularly ride downwind and frequently pack and unpack the wing between runs. The ESCAPE is designed for complete freedom of movement, letting you quickly stow the POW 2 and then relaunch it to head back upwind. It significantly boosts your efficiency on long sessions that mix Surf and upwind legs.
How do you maintain your POW 2?
Rinse with fresh water after each session, let it dry completely in the shade before packing, and avoid storing it wet for long periods. Regularly check the condition of the bridle, especially the line ends and attachment points. The fluorescent sleeving protects the line core, but you should still inspect it for wear after sessions over sand or rocks. Store it in its backpack, away from direct sunlight.
