200km in Florida, pretty epic video documenting it.
What is amazing is how technical this is. Looks miserable towards the end, and the start.
Well done

Guy Bridge did a cool 400km (250mile) 3 day trip along the UK south coast, going East. It’s a nice run because the prevailing wind direction (WSW) lines up pretty well with the the general direction, but it’s an extremely technical coast with massive tides and huge tidal gates. Would make a good stage race…
(multi day stage racing like this with para + paddle + super technical is surely the future of the sport. )

This is so rad. It really could be the future style of a race.
I wish I had the stamina for that.

I checked it this morning! Such a varied run, from barely any wind to a big mess. WILD.
When going downwind, couldn’t you go faster being always powered by the parawing? Or do you just go faster by classical downwinding?

Just looking at the Strava tracks here, looks like in some cases like through the Isle of Wight there was sections riding powered but likely just to get the upwind angle. (Reminds me Guy has the round the island kite record lol)
On your question, my somewhat limited experience but going downwind with the parawing is pretty irritating, it has to be super windy and event hen your speed is up and down and it’s way more mentally taxing to keep the thing in the air.
If it was a big race thing I’m sure in almost all cases it would be faster to just have the biggest possible parawing always in the air, which dare I say it, would be pretty lame way to race for 400km…,. Overall I would imagine given the distance it’s just better to stow it and deploy it for comfort and enjoyability. Idk.
