Huge wind range, genuine downwind flow

Parawings have a well-known problem: Either you have a single-skin model that’s easy to pack but barely builds up lift upwind, or you opt for a dual-skin Wing with good upwind efficiency, but one that’s so bulky it compromises true downwind freedom. The PPC Orbit resolves this conflict.

To achieve this, PPC collaborated with NOVA Paragliders, the winners of the 2025 Red Bull X-Alps, and extensively tested the result in New Zealand’s variable conditions. The Orbit combines the upwind efficiency of a dual-skin design with the packability of a single-skin wing.

The outer fabric is identical to that of this year’s Red Bull X-Alps winning glider: silicone-coated, ultralight, dimensionally stable, and remains low-porosity over the long term. The Wing sheds water extremely quickly during a water launch, thanks to a fully open trailing edge that allows water and air to escape immediately. Less weight during relaunch, less fiddling.

The real innovation lies in the PAL system.

The patented Power Assist Line System is integrated directly into the ergonomic carbon bar. By activating full brake mode, the Orbit immediately builds low-end power—enough to safely get onto the Foil, even in light winds. As soon as you’re flying, you release the brakes and the Wing switches to its efficient upwind mode. The result is a usable wind range that’s unmatched in the parawing market.

The line geometry is designed for easy stowage: low-twist B and C lines, wax-coated A lines that feel comfortable in your hands and pack neatly into the Para Sack Belt. No fiddling between upwind turns and downwind runs.

Thanks to the reduced arm strain provided by the Dual-Skin efficiency, many riders report that they hardly need a harness.

Available in five sizes from 2.0 to 5.9 m², with wind ranges from 8 to 40+ knots depending on size.

For wingfoilers and parawing riders looking for a single Wing that works in a wide range of conditions and who don’t want to switch gear between upwind sessions and downwind runs.
