Take flight with the innovative STASH from Duotone – a revolutionary Parawing designed to redefine your foiling experience.
The STASH features a unique single-skin design complemented by double-skin tips, focusing on stable flight and smooth depower. This combination ensures functionality across a wider range of wind conditions and riding angles, while maintaining the lightest and most compact packing for those craving the pure sensation of gliding for miles.
Meticulously refined over months by wing and kite designer Ken Winner alongside Downwind experts Finn and Jeffrey Spencer, the STASH goes beyond being just a tool to get on foil. It addresses the challenges of achieving ultimate free-flight, making it accessible to a broader audience.
Crafted from a special ultra-light 30g paragliding ripstop canopy, it offers earlier lift-off, prolonged airtime, smaller pack size, and superior gust damping for enhanced comfort. The design departs from traditional kite and wing materials, incorporating thinner bridle lines to reduce drag and weight, further optimizing packing and performance.
Combining the best of single- and double-skin technologies, the STASH delivers powerful yet easy-to-pack performance. Its closed-cell tips enable gradual depower through a simple wrist movement, while maintaining filled and controlled tips at all times. A stabilized leading edge and reduced ribs enhance flying stability, minimize drag, and facilitate effortless stashing.
Packing, sorting, and re-launching are streamlined with three differently colored bridle sections, a colored mid-section on the leading edge to indicate the re-launch grip point, and an ergonomic Carbon bar marked to show steering direction – all designed to make free flight more approachable.
Ultimately, the STASH delivers the sensation of True Foiling when your Parawing is neatly stashed away!
Recommended Board & Foil Setup
Parawinging presents a unique challenge compared to Wing Foiling; balancing on the board requires more skill due to the absence of an inflated wing. Beginners are advised to use a larger board for stability during initial attempts.
Foiling demands more legwork, so a larger Glide foil, similar to those used in SUP Downwind Foiling, is recommended. A key advantage is the ability to foil with significantly shorter boards, such as the Skybrid, which pairs perfectly with the STASH. Existing Downwinders also serve well, especially for first runs.
To support successful sessions, tailored recommendations based on rider weight and skill level are provided, ensuring optimal board and foil combinations.
Is it a Wing? Is it a Kite?
Parawings are the latest trend in foiling sports, merging a parafoil-kite-like uninflated structure with very short bridle lines. This design creates a compact unit between rider and wing, with board and foil sizes falling between Wing and Downwind Foiling disciplines.
Downwind Foiling is among the purest and most rewarding gliding experiences but also one of the most challenging to master. The STASH offers an easier, less physical start compared to classic paddle-up methods, and can be packed away and redeployed as needed, opening new possibilities for enjoying miles of pure foiling sensation.
Leveraging unmatched expertise in kite and wing design, the STASH is crafted to tackle ocean swells and bumps with ease and comfort, then be stashed away for the ultimate ride.
Single Skin vs. Double Skin Advantages
+ Single skin offers a higher coefficient of lift, delivering more power for the same wing size
+ Double skin provides greater flying stability, especially at higher riding angles
+ Single skin packs smaller and requires no drainage
+ Single skin with double-skin tips drains quicker after water immersion
+ This hybrid design is more stable when depowered than full single-skin wings
