Email from Greg at BRM:
Aloha! Hope your 2026 season has been going great! We want everyone on this email list to get the news first that new BRM gear will be launching next week. A crazy amount of work went in. We're so stoked to feel that so many things aligned and have taken our parawing experience to the next level. For me personally, the amount of parawing gear launched lately feels overwhelming. There's no desire to add to the noise. So, I hope that you'll see with the new gear that our focus has been only on what elevates the riding experience. We're working on more info to share on the BRM site and social in the coming days and weeks. And we'll email again when the new gear launches. Thank you, Greg
Exited to see what Greg and BRM has for us!

If you translate this into more straight forward language they are basically saying the market is flooded with good v2/v3 single skins that do the job well but don't necessarily move the needle. Hence the need to bring something different.
The rumours I have heard are they will be releasing a hybrid. I am kinda thinking hybrid is the future. Best of both worlds, looks like 777 already has another hybrid model in the works.
Interesting to see what BRM will be offering. Hopefully turns out better than the Paia, so many Paia's on the second hand market almost so soon after release is a really bad sign. Especially if you paid the $2000+ price tag:
I think the issues with twin skins in general is that they are harder to fly properly, more bulky to pack up and need way more power to make them work. Thats just second hand information on my part but does seem to be the general consensus.
I often check the FB parawing buy and sell page, an international page, and for a while there it seemed like every second post was a BRM Paia. That was not long after their release. I think a lot of riders just didn't have the conditions to make them work.
I got that email too and am very stoked to see what new stuff drops next week. I would love to get a new 3m for the season!

I 100% agree, I have the 3.1m and need nuking conditions. So much material on stow and small sweet spot to fly. Also likes to fly high and I prefer to keep my parawing low just off the water. I am keeping mine for those nuke days and when I feel like flying something different. I still 100% prefer the Ka'a and haven't seen anything on the market that looks like a big upgrade. Seems to me that F-ONE and OZONE have just caught up to the Ka'a with their recent models. It will be interesting to see if BRM can again show everybody who is boss!

Does anyone know what foils Greg uses most days?
Armstrong HA1080 if my memory serves me correctly. I believe he mentioned it in a podcast.
