Hey Frothers, I live in Christchurch, New Zealand. Pretty much all summer long we get 12-20knt onshore / cross onshore E/NE winds every afternoon at my local spot in New Brighton. A handful of us get out winging regularly at the beach with mixed results. The usual setup is to battle out through the surf zone, ride out to sea for 500m, turn and try to catch the DW style bumps towards the beach. Rinse and repeat. Sometimes the conditions are amazing, though the general rule is the better the bumps the harder the paddle out. The beach here has a pretty flat profile so it can be a long way to get out the back, and if its stacking up with shoulder high 8 second period whitewash it can be near impossible to get out, and its not uncommon for someone to put a foil through their wing. That brings me to parawing, a lot of the content is from dedicated DW riders, Hawaii, Gorge etc. What do you reckon about the utility in a setup like this? --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.progressionproject.com/t/parawing-does-it-make-sense-for-my-spot/12567)._
