Parawing • Downwind Foiling • Hands-Free Glide • North Sonar
A matched 4-piece setup to get on foil with wind power, then pack the kite away and surf the bumps freely.
This bundle pairs the North Ranger Parawing with the efficient North Midi mid-length foil board and a glide-focused Sonar downwind foil set (DW1100 front wing + S142 stabilizer). The result is a clean, purpose-built platform for parawinging, downwind foiling, and linking open-ocean swell with minimal drag, quick takeoffs, and a stable “neutral” feel once you sheet off and ride.
The Ranger is designed to pull you up on foil using wind energy, then collapse/pack away so you can ride the swell with an open, hands-free feel. A reachable depower tab helps you quickly “dump” power when you’re lit.
The Midi’s slender outline and semi-displacement hull are tuned to build speed on the water with less drag, making takeoffs feel smoother and more predictable in both light wind and mixed chop.
The DW series front wing is built for easy low-speed lift while still carrying efficient speed to stay with faster moving swell—ideal for linking bumps and maintaining glide between power strokes.
The Glide S142 stabilizer uses a thin, high-aspect profile and high-modulus carbon for stiffness and a clean, efficient feel. It’s quick and “whippy” when you want tighter lines or more responsive direction changes.
Use this as a starting point. Wind ranges vary with rider weight, skill, foil choice, and board volume. The baseline reference for these ranges is an 85 kg rider using a DW1100 and Midi 96L.
| Ranger Size | Recommended Wind Range (knots) | Best Use (Quick Guidance) |
|---|---|---|
| 2.2m | 25–40 | High wind control, smallest canopy, fastest handling |
| 3.2m | 18–26 | Everyday stronger breeze, efficient starts, good range |
| 4.2m | 14–20 | Most popular “all-around” downwind/parawing size |
| 5.2m | 10–15 | Light wind starts, bigger bumps, maximum low-end pull |
The Midi range is built around a mid-length outline, medium rocker, soft rounded rails, and a DropBox foil mount (165×90mm) for fast mounting. Smaller sizes can crossover into prone surf; larger sizes add stability and paddle-up potential.
| Size | Volume (L) | Width (in) | Thickness (in) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5'0 | 44 | 18 | 3 7/8 | Most compact / lowest swing weight |
| 5'2 | 52 | 18 1/2 | 4 1/4 | Quick onto foil, still very nimble |
| 5'4 | 60 | 19 | 4 5/8 | Balanced size for efficiency + stability |
| 5'8 | 70 | 19 1/2 | 5 | Extra float for rougher starts / mixed conditions |
| 6'0 | 82 | 20 | 5 3/8 | Light wind help + confident touchdown recovery |
| 6'4 | 96 | 21 | 5 3/4 | Maximum stability / easiest starts for the range |
Tuned for low-speed lift and efficient glide while retaining speed to match faster swell. A downwind-specific outline balances longer glide with the maneuverability you need to steer through moving bumps and keep the foil “alive” under your feet.
Includes: Wing cover + screw pack D (M8x25mm).
High-aspect, thin section stabilizer designed to extend glide and respond quickly. Built in high-modulus carbon for stiffness and precise feel—fast, efficient, and highly responsive once you’re moving.
Includes: Stabilizer cover + screw pack C (M8x16) with titanium screws.
