NORTH RANGER PARAWING 2026 - 2027

North Ranger Parawing

The Ranger Parawing is a super short-bridled single-skin kite designed to get you up on foil using the wind, then pack away so you can foil hands-free using the energy of the ocean. It gives you freedom to surf the swell unrestricted, without a paddle, inflatable wing or kite in any location — lake, harbour, ocean or land. If you fall off foil, simply pull your Ranger back out and go.

The Ranger features North's exclusive D-Rib technology to diagonally support the canopy for optimal load distribution and reduce the number of bridles required. It also means the canopy remains stable when depowering the bar, and the parawing is responsive and reacts to subtle steering input. Another industry first is the Depower Tab, located within easy reach midway along the fluoro yellow LE Bridle line. The Depower Tab acts as a handbrake, allowing the rider to dump power from the kite, and the tab can also be hooked on the end of the bar to depower while riding. Colour-coded canopy and bridles allow faster visual reference when launching or running-out lines, while the black LE makes it easy to navigate the parawing for flight.

The Ranger packs down into a lightweight slimline onwater backpack with additional straps and stash pocket to secure a deflated wind wing or second parawing on the water. The bag is designed so you can take one Ranger in the hand (4m), and two more in the bag (3m+5m), then change sizes to suit conditions or riding style, without going back to the beach. The close-fitting bag allows you to duck dive with ease, drains quickly, and features recycled polyester webbing straps sized to fit over wetsuits and life vests.

Beyond pulling you up onto foil and stashing away for pure downwinders, the Ranger works as a rescue chute for wingfoiling or paddling, helps you reach better bumps at the start or end of a downwind run, lets you surf point breaks without pumping or a jetski, and launches easily where space is limited or kiting is restricted. It is also built for Freestyle and Freeride on land with a skateboard or mountainboard, or on ice skates, skis, or a snowboard.
