Little Cloud Puffin V2: The Ultimate Soaring Machine
Versatility Reimagined – Soaring, Hike & Fly, and Parakiting.
The Puffin V2 is the evolution of Little Cloud’s legendary soaring range. Built on the DNA of the Gracchio Mk3, this second-generation wing has been refined to offer even more precision, speed, and stability. Whether you’re "dune gooning" on the coast or carving through mountain air, the Puffin V2 delivers the signature "Little Cloud Feel"—pitch stability, direct handling, and massive passive safety.
Designed for intermediate pilots who want a dynamic yet predictable wing, the Puffin V2 features a progressive reflex profile that optimizes lift and wind penetration. It is uniquely versatile: use it with standard trim-risers for classic mini-wing flight, or swap to KiteRisers for a pure parakiting experience with instant angle-of-attack control at your fingertips.
Key Features & Improvements:
-
Enhanced Stability: A more refined reflex profile and tuned wingtips ensure the wing stays "on rails" even in turbulent coastal air.
-
Ultimate Versatility: Compatible with standard risers or Little Cloud KiteRisers (sold separately) for parakiting.
-
Coastal Ready: Features trailing edge "dirt-out" tunnels for sand evacuation and sand-resistant Ronstan Orbit brake pulleys.
-
Lower Brake Pressure: Reduced physical effort for longer, less fatiguing soaring sessions.
-
Compact & Light: Built with durable Dominico 20D fabric, making it an ideal companion for hike-and-fly adventures.

Sky Riders Note
"The Puffin V2 is what we call a 'quiver killer.' It bridges the gap between a paraglider and a mini-wing perfectly. If you are looking to master ground handling and soaring in the South West, this wing provides the best feedback loop of any glider in its class. Pair it with KiteRisers if you want to truly 'play' with the wind." — Tom, CFI Sky Riders
