Parawinging is considerably more challenging than Wing Foiling because the Parawing provides the rider with significantly less tipping stability than a wing with an inflated structure. Additionally, Parawings are less effective for "pumping" to get onto the foil. Therefore, regular Wing Foiling is easier to learn, and using smaller foils and boards is more manageable in traditional Wing Foiling.

The advantages of Parawings mainly lie in their ability to be stowed away while foiling. This allows for a completely free foiling feel, similar to Prone or Downwind Foiling, without having to master the demanding "paddle-up" required in SUP Downwind Foiling. Larger foils and boards are recommended in this case.

Parawinging is easiest to learn initially in flat water. Those who have basic experience from other foil disciplines such as Wing Foiling, Kite Foiling, Downwind, or Prone Foiling will find it significantly easier to learn Parawinging than complete beginners.

Due to the novelty of the discipline, there are currently very few surf schools that offer Parawing lessond. The largest group of Parawingers comes from Downwind Foiling. Connecting through social media for sharing experiences can be very helpful.

Additionally, it is recommended to use the Duotone Academy App, which offers instructional videos, tips, and tricks for various foiling disciplines and is constantly updated with new content.

Parawinging may look easy in the videos, but in reality, it is considerably more challenging than Wing Foiling. The Parawing provides the rider with significantly less tipping stability than a wing with an inflated structure. Additionally, Parawings are less effective for "pumping" to get onto the foil. Therefore, regular Wing Foiling is easier to learn, and using smaller foils and boards is more manageable in traditional Wing Foiling. It is definitely recommended to have prior experience in foiling before starting with Parawinging, rather than being a complete foil novice.

There are Parawings with relatively good upwind performance and those that are more designed for pure Downwind Foiling and do not focus on good upwind capability. Good upwind performance allows for upwind and downwind runs with the Parawing at one spot, instead of having to deal with logistics like in Downwinding. For the upwind part, the use of a harness is recommended.

The lines of a Parawing can become a hazard under certain circumstances if they get wrapped around body parts like hands and fingers, or in the worst case, around the neck and become tensioned. This can especially become a risk if the Parawing is washed by waves, creating a strong pull on the lines. Therefore, it is strongly advised not to go near breaking waves with the Parawing.

Additionally, especially when Downwinding with the Parawing, one should ensure that the wind remains stable, as dying winds can make starting with the Parawing (compared to a paddle-up in SUP Downwinding) impossible. Therefore, never go too far from shore, never go out alone, inform others of your route, carry safety equipment (buoyancy vest, mobile phone), and if in doubt, use larger equipment that still allows for a start even in decreasing winds.

Due to the danger posed by the lines, it is strongly advised not to go into breaking waves with the Parawing. Breaking waves can significantly increase the pull on the lines, which can become a serious hazard if one gets tangled in them.
