AFS Stow Parawing — Stow · Go · Repeat

Parawing · Performance · Accessible.

The parawing can be seen as a specialised tool — performing within a narrow window, technically demanding, and reserved for those who accept its constraints. At AFS, we've taken the time to develop, test and refine our first parawing to offer a different approach.

Positioned at the crossroads of performance and accessibility, the Stow offers low-end power that makes getting started easier, upwind speed that satisfies demanding riders, and packing simplicity that lets runs flow naturally.

Designed for performance — Aspect Ratio 2.72

A canopy designed for manoeuvrability and lightness. The 2.72 aspect ratio is the best performance / stability / manoeuvrability ratio according to AFS's own testing. Same upwind angle, same packing behaviour, same feel underfoot regardless of your Stow size — you only change size based on the wind.

• Lightness
• Reduced bulk
• Manoeuvrability

Intuitive packing & redeployment

Every detail of the Stow has been engineered so that packing and redeployment are as fast and intuitive as possible:

• Arch bridle — no central element on the bar; hand travel is free and smooth along the entire length
• Smooth packing lines — thicker, spliced packing lines for reliable pack-outs
• Carbon bar — 33.5 cm, light and rigid

Range extension — Power Loop System

Getting started is the most demanding moment in parawing. By reducing the length of the A/B pre-lines, the Power Loop system lowers the Stow's pull while maintaining excellent stability and upwind angle. Getting started becomes more accessible, and upwind riding more comfortable — it gives access to the full low-end range of the Stow from the first few metres while maintaining excellent riding comfort.

In powered conditions, once airborne, the Power Loop can be easily engaged to boost riding comfort with or without a harness. The system extends the high end for long, comfortable upwind legs. More power available, less fatigue accumulated, and ever longer sessions.
