Cabrinha Nomad ParaWing - 2027

The Cabrinha Nomad Parawing 2027 combines predictable power, efficient upwind performance and direct control in a refined ram-air design. Developed with Element Kites, it is built to give new and progressing parawing riders confidence from the first session while retaining the performance required for more ambitious downwind riding.

A V-Rib internal structure supports the airfoil under load, inflated wingtip cells improve stability and airflow, and the moulded full-carbon control bar creates a light, precise connection to the wing. The result is a parawing that feels responsive without becoming unsettled as conditions change.

DESIGN PROFILE

The Nomad is an all-around ram-air parawing with a performance-focused profile and moulded carbon control bar. Its design balances stability, efficiency and accessible handling rather than targeting a narrow set of conditions. The supported airfoil produces consistent drive, while the lightweight construction keeps the wing responsive in the hands and manageable when stashed.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

• Inflated wingtip cells: Reduce drag and stabilise the tips, helping the canopy stay composed when airflow or wind strength changes.
• V-Rib internal structure: Locks the airfoil shape under load to produce cleaner and more consistent power delivery.
• Moulded carbon control bar: Full-carbon construction reduces weight and creates a more precise connection between rider and wing.
• Spliced A-lines: Support a smoother, neater stash when the rider wants the parawing out of the way.
• 32-gram canopy material: Balances low weight with the durability needed for regular parawing sessions.
• Clear centre graphic: Makes the centre of the wing easier to recognise during setup and deployment.
• Colour-coded leading edge: Helps distinguish the leading edge from the trailing edge when deploying the wing.

WHO IS IT FOR?

The Cabrinha Nomad is for riders who want one parawing to cover a broad range of sessions. Its stable, predictable handling makes it relevant to riders entering the discipline, while its efficiency, upwind ability and responsive carbon-bar feel provide room for progression. It is particularly well suited to foilers who want to explore local runs, downwind routes and changing conditions with a compact power source.

KEY TECHNOLOGY

Inflated Wingtip Cells – The inflated cells at the wingtips improve support in an area that can become unsettled. By reducing drag and adding stability, they help the Nomad retain predictable handling through changes in wind strength and wing angle.

V-Rib Internal Structure – Cabrinha's V-Rib construction supports the internal airfoil so that it maintains its intended form under load. A cleaner profile produces more consistent drive, making power delivery easier to anticipate and control.

Moulded Full-Carbon Control Bar – The lightweight carbon bar delivers a direct connection without unnecessary mass. Its stiffness improves feedback, allowing the rider to make precise inputs while keeping fatigue low during longer sessions.

Spliced A-Lines – The Nomad uses spliced A-lines to support a cleaner stash. This helps riders organise and pack the wing away when transitioning from powered parawing riding to foiling the swell.

32-Gram Canopy Material – The lightweight canopy contributes to responsive handling and easy management without giving up the durability needed for repeated use. It provides the balance of low mass and longevity required for an all-around parawing.

Clear Centre Graphic – A visible centre reference helps the rider identify the middle of the wing quickly. This makes orientation more intuitive during setup, relaunch and deployment.

Colour-Coded Leading Edge – The coloured leading-edge section creates a clear visual distinction between the leading and trailing edges, helping the rider recognise the correct deployment orientation at a glance.

DESIGNER NOTES

The design objective for the Nomad was to create a parawing that feels predictable, efficient and easy to trust across a wide range of conditions. The V-Rib construction supports the profile between loaded cells, while the inflated wingtip cells improve stability and manage airflow more effectively. Combined with the lightweight carbon control bar, these features create a wing that remains responsive in the rider's hands while staying composed in the air.
