CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PAIA DOUBLE SKIN
FORWARD LIFT
Unlike single skins that shift forward and back in the wind window with variations in lift and drag at differing angles of attack, the double skin’s internal pressure combined with the upper profile shaping create lift that consistently drives forward; a game changer in riding comfort.
LOW DRAG
The higher aerodynamic efficiency of the Paia’s double skin design contributes to its further forward window position, promoting higher upwind riding angles.
HIGH DEPOWER
The double surface’s internal pressure eliminates profile flutter and allows the wing to fly at the lowest angle of attack for the highest amounts of depower and riding range.
RAPID FILL
While single skins are unmatched in deploy speed, the large openings across the entire leading edge provide the fastest possible double skin deploy fill.
RAPID EXIT
The entire leading and trailing edges of the Paia are completely open, making the management of air exit during stow on par with single skin designs.
PAIA PARAWING TIPS
The Paia requires different piloting techniques from a single skin. We highly recommend watching these tips prior to your first session.
