In this end-of-year special, I invited Cynthia Brown, Ken Adgate and Ewan Jaspan to reflect on the significant developments in parawinging throughout 2025. We discuss the evolution of riding styles, innovations in gear, and the moments that have elevated the sport. The conversation also touches on the challenges and opportunities for growth, particularly in making the sport more accessible to newcomers. The excitement for the future of parawinging is palpable as we explore the potential for new tricks, techniques, and equipment advancements. The conversation then steers into the latest innovations in parawing accessories, gear advice for riders, and predictions for the future of parawing in 2026. We explore the importance of proper equipment, the stubbornness of riders regarding board sizes, and the potential for hybrid designs to revolutionize the sport. The discussion also includes rapid-fire questions that reveal personal preferences and insights into the evolving world of parawing.
