Duotone Stash 2026 Parawing | Lightweight Foiling Wing
Duotone Stash 2026 Parawing – Lightweight Foiling Wing
The Duotone Stash 2026 is a lightweight single-skin parawing designed for parafoiling, offering exceptional stability, upwind performance, and effortless depower in a compact, easy-to-stash design.
If you’ve seen these on the water and wondered what they are — the Stash is not a kite and not a traditional wing. It’s a parawing designed for pure glide, simplicity, and freedom.
What is the Duotone Stash?
The Stash is a single-skin parawing, meaning it has no inflated structure. Instead, it flies using airflow and tension through its lines. This makes it extremely lightweight, easy to pack down and “stash”, and capable of flying in very light wind. It’s designed primarily for foil riding, downwinders, and free glide sessions.
Quick answer: who is the Stash for?
The Stash is ideal for riders who want simplicity, light-wind performance, and the ability to pack their wing away while riding — foilers, downwind riders, and experienced wing riders looking for something different. It is not aimed at complete beginners.
What makes the 2026 Stash different?
The 2026 version is a significant step forward, with major improvements in stability, control, and wind range:
- Improved leading edge stability for smoother flight
- Better upwind angles and efficiency
- Much improved depower control
- More stable performance in gusty wind
The design team refined the profile and angle of attack to reduce drag and improve control across a wide range of conditions.
How does the Stash actually ride?
On the water it feels light and almost weightless, very stable overhead, and easy to depower completely. Because it has no rigid frame, it can be packed away while riding, allowing you to focus purely on the glide.
Upwind performance
The 2026 Stash has significantly improved its upwind ability, thanks to a refined aspect ratio and arc shape, a stabilised leading edge design, and a bridle system that maintains a consistent wing shape. This keeps the wing efficient and stable even when heavily depowered.
Depower and control
Depower is one of the standout features of the Stash. The wing can be almost completely neutralised, making it ideal for downwind runs, glide-focused riding, and variable wind conditions. The leading edge bridle system keeps the wing open and stable even when sheeted out.
New ergonomic handle system
The 2026 Stash introduces a new carbon handle design for better power distribution, more comfortable riding, and the ability to slide your hand under the lines. All connections are integrated into the handle for a clean, tangle-free setup.
Why riders are choosing parawings
This is a fast-growing category, and the advantages are clear: ultra-lightweight, packs down small, simple and minimal setup, and a pure glide feeling. The Stash is Duotone’s answer to this new riding style.
Sizes and wind range
The Stash is available in sizes from 2.2m to 5.6m, covering a wide wind range. Smaller sizes suit stronger winds, while larger sizes are ideal for light-wind foiling. The lightweight canopy allows it to stay flying even in very light conditions.
Real-world advice (Board-Worx)
This is not a replacement for a standard wing — it’s something different. The Stash is about freedom, simplicity, and glide. If you’re foiling and want something light, packable, and incredibly efficient, it’s a very interesting option. If you’re just starting out, a traditional wing will still be easier to learn on.
