Parawinging combines the freedom of hydrofoiling with a lightweight, packable wing. Unlike traditional wing foiling, you can fold away your parawing once you're riding and enjoy the swell using the energy of the water.

You'll need a parawing, a foil board and a complete hydrofoil setup, including a front wing, stabilizer, fuselage and mast. Our Cabrinha Buy & Build page makes it easy to choose your Nomad Parawing, Quest or Swift board, Union foil components and optional footstraps in one place.

Parawinging is most accessible to riders who already have some hydrofoiling experience. If you're completely new to foiling, learning basic balance, takeoffs and foil control through lessons with a qualified instructor is a great starting point.

Developed in collaboration with Element Kites, the Cabrinha Nomad combines a lightweight single-skin design with inflated wingtips for improved stability and control. Its carbon control bar provides precise handling, while its efficient power delivery and excellent upwind performance make it ideal for downwind adventures.

The Nomad is available in 2.5m², 3.0m², 3.8m², 4.5m² and 5.5m² sizes. Smaller wings generally suit stronger winds, while larger wings provide more power in lighter conditions. Your weight, experience, foil setup and local wind conditions will all influence the best choice.

Yes! One of the biggest advantages of parawinging is the ability to stash the wing once you're up on your foil. This allows you to ride ocean swells and downwind bumps without continuously holding the wing, then redeploy it when you need power again.

Yes. The Nomad includes a lightweight carbon control bar with an ergonomic EVA grip, along with a backpack-style storage bag.

The Quest is a dedicated downwind and parawing board, designed for efficient takeoffs, excellent glide and longer downwind runs. The Swift is a versatile mid-length board that combines early lift with responsive handling, making it an excellent choice for riders who enjoy both parawinging and wing foiling.

The Quest is particularly well suited to light-wind parawinging thanks to its longer, efficient hull, which helps riders build speed and take off earlier. The Swift is another excellent option for efficient foiling, especially if you want one board for multiple disciplines.

The Prestige is designed to maximize glide and efficiency, making it an excellent choice for riders who enjoy covering distance and linking downwind bumps. The Domani focuses on responsive carving, maneuverability and control, particularly in more powered conditions.

Both Wing Kits include a front wing and a matching stabilizer with its integrated fuselage assembly. You'll need to select a compatible Union mast separately to complete your hydrofoil setup.

Your ideal mast depends on your riding style, experience and conditions. Longer masts provide additional clearance above the water and can be useful in choppier conditions, while shorter masts can feel more manageable when learning. Choose between the Union Carbon, Union Alloy and Union Carbon Apex options to suit your performance preferences.

Footstraps are optional and depend on your riding preferences. Some riders enjoy the additional connection and control they provide, while others prefer riding strapless for greater freedom of movement. Cabrinha Ultralight Footstraps can be added to your setup if desired.

Yes! Depending on the components you choose, your board and hydrofoil can also be used for wing foiling and other foiling disciplines. The Swift is particularly versatile, while the Quest is more focused on downwind and parawing performance.
