For me, one of the most important skills to master for riding a parawing in light wind is the tack.
I couldn't find a tutorial that really broke the maneuver down step by step, so I decided to make one myself.
The idea behind the maneuver is that, unlike during a gybe, the wing maintains much more apparent wind throughout the transition, so it stays pressurized instead of collapsing. That makes it surprisingly reliable, even in marginal conditions
Hopefully some of you will find it useful.
I'd be interested to hear how you approach light wind tacks. Do you do anything differently?
