ENSIS ROGER parawing

Colors

Stability & power control, easy handling, upwind
The ENSIS ROGER is here to give you the freedom to foil like never before. It folds away easily when you want to ride the swell, uninterrupted and unhindered, and effortlessly redeploys when needed again. The color-coded wing, bar, and bridles make finding the leading and trailing edge quick and simple. A stable design, precise power control, and excellent upwind performance make the ENSIS ROGER more than just a downwind tool – it offers experienced foilers an unmatched experience on the water.

Paragliding precision meets foiling performance
Patrick Aggeler, product and wing designer at ENSIS, brings a wealth of knowledge from his background in paragliding design to his passion for foiling. When development began, Patrick was excited by the idea of creating a parawing, seeing it as the perfect cross of his two fields, bringing valuable elements to the design of the ROGER like performance, handling, and safety. The result is a parawing that delivers on every front, meeting every demand on the water.

Intuitive design, effortless handling
Every detail of the ROGER ensures seamless performance and intuitive use. The wing, bar, and bridles are color-coded, enabling riders to quickly identify the leading and trailing edges. The bridle layout minimizes the chance of tangling, but if a tangle does occur, our 3-Point Bridle System allows for easy untangling. The bar features a central hole through which the center bridles pass, attaching to a leash or harness. This setup simplifies depowering and redeployment.

Key features

Unmatched stability

The ROGER provides a stable and reliable flying experience, maintaining its balance even in gusty or varied wind conditions, so you can fly with confidence.

Precise power control

The ROGER’s bar and bridle system provides precise control over the angle of attack, allowing you to easily adjust power levels to match your needs, from generating power to minimizing it on the fly.

Effortless deployment

Designed for quick and easy unfolding, the ROGER avoids tangling even when wet or crumpled. With just a little tension on the bridles, the wing immediately takes shape and is ready to take off.

Exceptional upwind performance

The ROGER’s design provides outstanding upwind capabilities, giving you the freedom to explore beyond just downwind riding and opening up new possibilities on the water.

Ergonomic bar

The egg-shaped, lightweight bar reduces strain on the arms and enables precise control.

Color-coded for quick orientation

The parawing, bar, and bridle lines are color-coded, helping you quickly identify the leading and trailing edges for easy orientation and fast redeployment, even in challenging conditions.

Easy handling

Thanks to its stable profile, reliable power control, intuitive deployment, and color-coded orientation, the ROGER offers a user-friendly and enjoyable foiling experience.

Safety system

The bar’s unique design features a center hole for mid-line routing, allowing the parawing to safely collapse when released. A leash can be tied to the loop at the end of the centre line to keep the parawing connected to you.

Tech features

Comfortable and durable bridles

Made from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, the ROGER’s bridles are exceptionally durable, withstanding water, salt, and sand. They are also comfortable to handle even in rough conditions.

Color-coded bridles

Blue lines are used for the leading edge bridle, to help riders quickly orientate and organize or detangle the lines with ease.

3-Point-Bridle System

The 3 bridles meet and attach to center-lines that connect to the bar. Optimal performance with minimal tangle.

Nylon wires for aerodynamics

Nylon wires along the leading edge support the ROGER’s aerodynamic shape, improving airflow efficiency, reducing drag, and improving strong wind performance.

Comfortable aluminum bar

The aluminum bar, padded with EVA foam and designed with rounded corners, provides both comfort and easy handling.

Leash attachment point

A leash loop is positioned at the end of the center bridles through the center hole, allowing you to attach a leash or belt. This ensures that if you accidentally let go of the parawing, it will safely depower and stay attached to you.

Single skin design

The single skin wing is light and very small when folded up into a package. Single skin design supports easy packing and deploying.

High-quality fabric

Constructed from proven, lightweight, and durable wing canopy material, the ROGER is buoyant, allowing it to float on the water’s surface until you’re ready to redeploy.

Experts answer your questions

When do you use a parawing?

The Parawing is a supplement for all ambitious foilers. It is used to:

Master downwind sessions on lakes or the sea
Reach spots that are inaccessible with a paddle
Gain height in side to onshore conditions and surf the waves
Practicing maneuvers and chasing small waves in flat water and chop

How difficult is foiling with a parawing compared to wingfoiling?

Launching and generating speed uses more technique, but if you’re an experienced foiler, you will quickly learn to parawing. The parawing wing flies and has power in minimal wind, so you can easily take off in light winds.

Does the parawing go upwind just as well as a wing?

Yes, the parawing performs well going upwind, though the technique is slightly different from using an inflatable wing.

What board size or type is best?

To begin with, we recommend a downwind board or a mid-length board with sufficient volume (approx. 10-20 litres above your body weight). A length of 5’7‘ to 7’0’ is often ideal.

Is the size/wind range of the parawing comparable to that of a wing?

The parawing generally has better performance in light winds but slightly less high-wind capability. Overall, the sail size to wind range is very similar between the two.

Do you need to use a leash?

In light winds, using a leash is optional. In strong winds, however, it’s recommended to attach a leash to the parawing to prevent it from flying away if released. The leash connects to the ENSIS Safety System, which quickly collapses the wing when tension is applied, reducing power immediately.

Do you use a harness?

A harness is not absolutely necessary, but is recommended for upwind adventures or longer rides. Without a harness, you remain more flexible, but your arms get tired more quickly.

Can you trim the Parawing?

No you cannot, however, the ENSIS ROGER was designed to stay in control in strong and gusty wind conditions.
