After years of development, we are proud to announce the launch of our parakite branch, complete with its own dedicated website.

The new website features the Vapor, our very first parakite wing released to the public, alongside a selection of exclusive parakite apparel. More products will be added to the range in the near future.

The Backstory

Back in the early 2000s, while developing a range of snowkites, we came up with the idea of fitting a bridle system so a depower solution could work with foil kites.

Fast forward to 2009: Rob Whittall tried the bridle on a paraglider, calling it a ‘significant design breakthrough’. Later on, we introduced Black Sheep Technology (BST): the perfect blend of advanced computer engineering, testing, and flying skills. Crazy minds with unlimited ideas, taking deliberate off-track paths to bring a groundbreaking (r)evolution to paragliding history.

A lot has happened since: pilots, riders, designers, and engineers have run endless experiments, and an exciting new sport was born.

Check out the new parakite website here.
