039_Takoon Designer Charles Queguiner: Parawing Design, Innovation & What Comes Next
<p>In this episode of the LabRat Foiler Podcast, I sit down with Charles Queguiner, engineer, designer and product manager at Takoon, to unpack the development of the Takoon parawing gear line-up. We go deep into the parawing design details that make the Takoon Cloud different: its simplified four A-line stowing system, flatter bridle geometry, curved wingtip outline, full-carbon moulded bar. Charles explains how these features were designed to make launching, stowing, relaunching and learning to parawing more intuitive—without sacrificing agility or performance. Beyond the wings, Charles breaks down Takoon’s parawing-specific Slide board, its forward volume distribution and wider outline, plus stash belts, safety accessories and Takoon’s lightweight hollow-board construction. We finish by discussing where parawing foiling is heading next—from light-wind riding and racing to wave riding, upwind/downwind missions and faster downwind-foiling progression. Whether you are learning to parawing, comparing the Takoon Cloud and Cloud One, improving your stowing technique, choosing a parawing board or simply interested in foil and parawing product design, this episode is packed with practical and technical insight.

038_Greg Drexler: BRM S3 technical breakdown
<p>In this episode of the LabRat Foiler Podcast, I sit down with Greg Drexler from BRM to talk about his latest creation: the S3 Parawing. Greg breaks down the full design journey behind the S3 and why BRM moved from multiple parawing models into one refined single-skin design.</p> <p>We go deep into parawing design, including the new D-grip bar system, improved ergonomics, bridle layout, stowing considerations, and how the S3 aims to deliver more drive, stability, and forward flight while still keeping the simplicity and packability of a single-skin parawing. We also nerd out on canopy shape, aspect ratio, bridle cascades height, spliced lines, fabric choices, stash systems, and how small design details can completely change the way a parawing feels on the water.</p> <p>This is a deep-dive episode for anyone interested in a technical parawing talk and thanks to Greg for being such a gentleman to share his knowledge with us!</p>

037_Dom Zimmermann & Axel Mazella: Ozone Pocket Rocket V2 Design Breakdown
<p>In this episode of the LabRat Foiler Podcast, I sit down with Dom Zimmerman, Head of R&D at Ozone, and Axel Mazella from the Ozone R&D team to unpack everything about the brand new Pocket Rocket V2. We go deep into the design evolution from the original Pocket Rocket V1 and how the development of the PowerPack helped shape this next generation of parawing design. This conversation covers the real details that parawingers care about: shorter line lengths, stiffer and thicker lines, improved stowing ergonomics, updated bar widths, the new bow bar system, harness line setup, canopy feel, low-end power, upwind performance, quiver building, and where Ozone sees the future of parawinging heading next. If you’ve been waiting to find out whether the Pocket Rocket V2 is worth the upgrade, this episode is packed with insight straight from the people designing it. We talk about what type of rider this parawing is for, how it compares to the PowerPack, what was improved from the V1s, and why small design details like line coatings, bridle layout, and bar feel make such a huge difference on the water. We also dive into bigger-picture topics around the future of the sport, including parawing racing, performance progression, quiver choices, travel setups, board sizing, and the possibility of new high-performance models to come. Whether you are into parawing foiling, downwind foiling, wave riding, upwind performance, gear design, or just want to understand the latest innovations in parawinging, this episode is for you. If you’re frothing on parawing gear, foiling progression, and the future of the sport, make sure to like, subscribe, and let me know in the comments what you think of the Pocket Rocket V2.</p>
