I'm a 50 year old guy and I've been inching to larger sizes in past years.. metabolism slows down, belly fat grows.. every time I go pants shopping I find myself preferring a size larger.....and then comes along this parawing thing!

Some 10+ sessions in - which is extremely hard work (lol watch Rob Piros videos!) .. but I feel WAY fitter in my core. My abs have been taking a beating! And my smaller pants sizes fit again!

Anyone else on the parawing journey seeing the impact on the physique?

The lower back has been suffering a bit I have to say but it's getting less now ever since using the harness.

But for sure this is one reason I prefer PW in that I get a total body workout every session! I love the brutality of it!

Ps..no disrespect to wingfoil. The other day I jumped on the wingfoil gear and it was such a luxurious super easy and light feel. Such a wonderful relief to be back on the familiar 'soft pillow'.

I can relate, less on the the pant size, more on the physical challenge! its punishing and every mistake is rewarded with a line nest that needs correction, which takes time, all while drifting downwind. Its definitely hard going.

Same here.
48 years old. The day after a 2h Parawing session the recently elusive -ahem- morning wood is inevitably in place.
I believe it’s because of the ruthless core training the Parawing provides.

Finally over the para hump with a session this weekend that felt more like a normal wing session with the added bonus of the 1km runs that I put together with the para folded (stowing will come next). Absolutely stoked 🔥Conditions were perfect, 3m para, lined up bumps and summer sun. Still feel nervous as f*ck but confidence is growing. Late to the party but loving it!

55 here and I can relate. Haven’t lost any weight but feel super tired after 2 hours of PW. I am loving it
