EASY-surfshop welcomes a new brand to the wingfoiling market – Aeryn, created by a seasoned team with over two decades of experience in developing foil kites for Peter Lynn and PLKB. Aeryn aims to provide innovative yet practical gear designed to enhance the wingfoiling experience.
Meet the Aeryn P1 Parawing
Aeryn’s first product is the P1 Parawing, available in sizes ranging from 2.5 to 6.0 square meters. The P1 is designed to offer versatility, ease of use, and consistent performance, suitable for both newcomers to the sport and experienced wingfoil enthusiasts.
Note: We will have the P1 available for testing in size 4.0 starting mid-April, several weeks before the full size range becomes generally available.
Some First Insights from the Aeryn Brand
Performance and Simplicity Combined
After extensive development and testing, the Aeryn P1 Parawing delivers reliable upwind performance, comparable to traditional inflatable wings. This capability allows riders to comfortably handle varying conditions and potentially use smaller wing sizes without sacrificing overall performance.
The P1 offers solid low-end power and a wide wind window, making it well-suited for enjoyable downwind rides and responsive control during various maneuvers.
Insights from the Design Team
The P1 Parawing’s development was led by designer Michel Dekker, who focused on creating a balanced wing that blends power with ease of handling. Dekker explains, “With the P1, we aimed for a practical combination of strong upwind and downwind performance, manageable lift during maneuvers, and an intuitive depower range for comfortable riding.”
Nicolas Caillou, the lead tester, highlights the practical strengths of the P1: “The P1 provides consistent upwind capabilities, good low-end power, and reliable control, offering riders confidence in a variety of conditions.”
Easy Setup, Practical Packing
Designed for convenience, the P1 Parawing eliminates the setup complexities often associated with inflatable wings. Lightweight and easy to handle, it launches quickly, allowing riders to maximize their time on the water. After a session, it packs away efficiently, simplifying gear management.
