Tacking seems a lot harder on a Para compared to a Wing, but when it comes together seamlessly it feels fantastic !
- and backhand tacks are trickier again than toeside tacks, & my hit rate is lower for those, at this stage ...

I think it is easy to underestimate the need to get the basics down including changing tack and para control before venturing out on hardcore ocean downwinders,
Sure, it can be one, but one wrong move and you will have a para mare out there.
For myself (and i understand we all go about it different ways) have really enjoyed my time on flat water practicing the basics being various transitions and general para winging handling which is different from all other forms of sailing I have done.
Pleasantly surprised how much fun and how technical this Parawing journey is and looking forward to some ocean downwinders and wave riding.
