North Ranger Parawing Downwind Bundle (4-item bundle)

Parawing • Downwind Foiling • Hands-Free Glide • North Sonar North Ranger Parawing Downwind Bundle 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. Single-skin parawing with short bridles Packable: ride hands-free after takeoff Midi semi-displacement hull efficiency Sonar downwind glide + ventilation resistance Includes bar, backpack, covers & hardware packs What’s Included in This Bundle 1) North Ranger Parawing Parawing + carbon control bar + on-water backpack (packs slim, drains fast, designed to wear over a buoyancy vest). 2) North Midi Foil Board Board with EVA deckpad and leash plug + DropBox screw pack (4× M8x30mm + 4× T-nuts). 3) Sonar Downwind DW1100 Front Wing Front wing + cover + screw pack D (M8x25mm). 4) Sonar Glide S142 Stabilizer Stabilizer + cover + stabilizer screw pack C (M8x16) + titanium screws. Not included: Sonar mast, fuselage, board leash, foilboard straps, and any additional safety gear. If you’d like help completing the build, Windance can recommend the best Sonar mast/fuse options for your riding goals. Why This Setup Works Wind Power to Foil — Then Freedom to Surf 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. Efficient Board Speed & Fast Transitions 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. Downwind Glide with Real Top-End 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. Stiff, Fast, High-Aspect Tail Support 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. Ranger Parawing Size Guide 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 Pro tip: Many riders carry two sizes for better coverage. The Ranger backpack is designed to make on-water size swaps practical without returning to shore. Midi Board Sizing (Shape & Dimensions) 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.

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). Sonar Glide S142 Stabilizer 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. Setup note: The DW1100 is commonly paired with Glide series stabilizers to balance glide and turning response. If you’re running much larger front wings than the DW1100 in the future, you may prefer a larger stabilizer for added support. Who This Bundle Is For Best For Riders exploring parawinging and hands-free swell riding Downwind foilers who want wind-assisted starts without a full wing or kite setup Intermediate+ foilers looking for efficient board speed and predictable touchdowns Wing/kiters who want a compact, deployable wind tool with strong depower control Why You’ll Notice the Difference Short-bridle parawing design for easier deployment/retrieval Mid-length board efficiency that helps conserve energy during starts Downwind foil geometry aimed at glide, low drag, and ventilation resistance High-stiffness tail for clean response during pumps and direction changes
