The first time we stowed our wing in a belt, spun it around to our back, and experienced hands-free glide, we knew that our ultimate downwind and surfing dreams had come true.

Beyond such glorious reasons for a perfectly functioning system to ride hands free, the longer we’ve had a parawing focus, the more we’ve identified and appreciated also smaller new opportunities in improving our total riding experience.

Having a belt frees two hands to carry our board to the water, paddle out and in, take a break to focus elsewhere, carry other things like a camera and a second size parawing, and add additional functions like a harness hook.

To increase options for our second season of parawing equipment, we’ve added a second parawing belt and harness accessories.

With a medium size outline of 17cm high, the original BRM Parawing Belt introduced last year is our recommendation for riders that prioritize moderate support for riding hooked in to a harness at higher power loads.

At 10cm high when compressed, we’ve added the BRM Parawing Belt Slim for riders that prioritize the freedom of movement of a slimmer outline, and, if using as a harness, hook in at lighter power loads. It’s pocket is expandable to 20cm high for easier stowing.

From our earliest parawing development, we recognized some of the values of the option to ride with a harness and have been working on solutions to the functional challenges unique to parawing riding.

Any design that interferes with getting up on our board, or, far worse, adds a snag point for getting stuck in lines, especially common while stowing, were automatic deal-breakers for us. We’re so stoked to have finally cracked the code to be able to enjoy the advantages of riding with a harness without the slightest compromise to our other core priorities.

A gated closure on a mini hook is so simple, its crazy that it took us so long to reach this perfect solution! Gate open, the compact hook is ready for hooking in and out. Gate closed, you can forget that the hook is there; ride and stow away.

We’ve developed harness lines specifically for parawing riding in two options to suit different preferences.

We designed the Minimalist Harness Line for riders that ride primarily without a harness, but would like to have the option to add one on-the-fly. This line fits easily in your pocket, can be installed in seconds, can be temporary minimized by wrapped around the bar, accommodates temporary and fixed line length trim, is streamlined, light and strong, and accommodates changing tack without needing to unhook.

We designed the Internal Rod Harness Line for riders that ride primarily with a harness. Rather than a decades-old tube-covered line design, we’ve moved the loop structure inside the line to be lighter and more streamlined. This compact line is easily installed, removed, and adjusted in length. Its prescribed stiffness balances ease of harness use with stowing effectiveness.
