Hi guys,
I've been spending quite a bit of time analyzing GPS tracks from my own parawing sessions to compare the performance of different parawings.
The problem is that it's simply unrealistic for me to buy and test every wing on the market.
So I had an idea.
What if we could build a community-driven database of real GPS tracks and session data?
I've created The Parawing Lab, a small project where riders can upload GPX/FIT files along with some basic information about their setup and conditions.
My background is in engineering and sailing performance analysis, and I'm curious to see what we can learn from hundreds of real sessions instead of a handful of individual reviews.
If enough data is collected, all results and insights will be shared back with the community.
Too many variables, wind strength, para size, body weight, foil used and water conditions such as tide/current.

I've prepared a google form that I cannot attach here (I don't know why) and that's are exactly the variables I've taken into account.... With enough data you can always aggregate variables and try to understand...
