2027 Cabrinha Nomad Parawing
All-Round Parawinging & Downwind Foiling
The Cabrinha Nomad is built for riders who want to go further. Developed together with Element Kites, it blends proven foil-kite technology with Cabrinha's performance design to create a parawing that feels stable, efficient and easy to fly from your very first session. Whether you're new to parawinging or linking up long downwind runs, the Nomad lets you focus on the ride instead of the wing.
Direct Control, Less Fatigue
At the center of the system is a molded full-carbon control bar with an EVA grip. It is stiff and light, so every steering input transfers instantly to the wing, and it keeps the weight in your hands to a minimum for long sessions on the water.
Single Skin with Inflated Tips
A single-skin canopy cuts weight, drag and packed size, while inflated wingtip cells add structure exactly where soft wings tend to get unsettled. The result is a clean, responsive profile that stays composed through tacks and gybes. Internal V-Ribs along the leading edge hold the airfoil shape under load for smooth, consistent power, and they also allow a compact accordion-style pack-down.
Standout Upwind Performance
Upwind ability is where the Nomad really shines. Efficient profiles and carefully tuned tip geometry give it excellent VMG for a parawing, so you hold speed while pointing high, waste less energy on drag and get back upwind faster for the next downwind run. It also delivers strong power for its size, letting many riders step down a size compared with other parawings.
