Phi Rowdy

PHI Rowdy – The Next Revolution in Parakiting

Designed by Hannes Papesh with input from speed-riding legend Mike Küng, the PHI Rowdy is a true revolution in simplicity and efficiency. Developed using advanced CFD simulations and FSI analysis, the Rowdy delivers phenomenal performance while remaining exceptionally easy to handle. Whether you are looking for a low-level wing for effortless ground handling or a dedicated speed-riding and speed-gliding tool, the Rowdy redefines expectations.

Key Technical Features

• Clean 2-Liner Design: Features a single A-line suspension (unlike nearly all other 2-liners with double A-lines) for drastically reduced line drag and ultimate speed-gliding efficiency.
• Super Reduced Risers: Simplified 2-riser system with no floating B-pulley for clean, intuitive control.
• Nitinol Technology with Neopren Padding: Enhanced leading-edge robustness. Neopren padding distributes the pressure of the Nitinol rods over a wider area, protecting against abrasion while making packing effortless.
• Beach & Dune Ready: Includes a super-efficient sand drainage system built directly into the trailing edge for hard usage on sandy terrain.
• The "Rowdy" Airfoil: Engineered for extreme static stiffness, allowing for a massive distance from the A to B loop, an extremely late stall point, and exceptional collapse resistance.

Designer's Note

"The ROWDY now impressively demonstrates what I have learned along the way over 25 years of designing kites!" – Hannes Papesh
