Kiting & ground handling wings

A kiting wing – also called a ground handling wing or training wing – is a small, durable paraglider designed only for practicing on the ground, not for flying. Because it's smaller than a normal glider, you can kite safely in winds that are too strong for your flying wing, and it still inflates easily in light wind. It's the fastest way to build the launch and wing-control skills that make you a safer, more confident pilot.

Why practice with a kiting wing?

• Better launches – forward and reverse launches, building walls and controlling the wing overhead
• Active piloting on the ground – feel brake pressure, collapses, stalls and pitch control without leaving the ground
• Use "blown-out" days – practice when it's too windy to fly
• Save your flying wing – hours of ground handling wear out a paraglider; a tough kiting wing takes the abuse instead
• Schools – an affordable, durable tool for students' first sessions

Our kiting wings

BGD Seed

BGD's ground-handling mini wing, developed from a full-size EN-B glider so it looks and feels like a real paraglider. Durable 50 g cloth, three risers, a strong shark nose and the features of a modern glider make it ideal for learning to kite and refining your skills.

Ozone Roadrunner

Ozone's forgiving ground-handling trainer, optimized for winds too strong for a standard wing but still easy to use in light or zero wind. A reinforced leading edge makes inflation easy, two risers with split-A let you practice different launch and control techniques, and magnetic brake handles are easy to grab and stow.

Important

These wings are made for ground handling only and must not be used for flight. Always practice in a safe, open area, away from obstacles and power lines, and wear a helmet.
