Swing Wave RS (Parakite)

Ride the Wave. Feel the Flow.

Sizes: 10m2 - 18m2

The moment you click in and lift off, the WAVE RS turns speed into smooth, addictive flow. Every flight becomes one of those sessions you replay in your head long after you land.

The WAVE RS is a versatile parakite built for alpine flying, carrying over the DNA of SWING’s MIRAGE series. It blends the agility of a classic speedwing with the wider range and confidence of modern parakite tech.

At the heart of it, RAST works seamlessly with a stable reflex profile to keep the wing rock solid — even when you’re pushing hard. You get maximum control, clean energy, and the confidence to fully commit to your line.

The WAVE RS launches easier, flies more intuitively, and handles quicker — and yes, it’s fast. With a sharp 52-cell profile and smart Nitinol reinforcement, this wing is built for precision. It loads and releases energy exactly when you want it, turning every move into controlled power.

More Glide. More Range. More Fun.

The WAVE RS opens up a bigger playground. It’s not just about bombing down mountains — it’s about turning any terrain into your line.

Steep faces, long flow trails, mellow gradients, shifting snow or rock… the WAVE RS adapts. It stretches your possibilities and gives you that “just one more run” feeling every time.

Its efficient design expands your options in alpine terrain — from fast, dynamic lines to playful soaring and smooth, stylish flow sessions.

Speed. Stability. Pure Stoke.

This is next-level easy speed. The WAVE RS delivers a fast, stable ride with precise feedback from the first moment you touch the brakes. It builds trust quickly and puts you straight into the flow state.

Built Smart. Built Strong. Built to Fly.

Every detail has been dialled in:

• Dyneema webbing

• Hybrid risers with Fidlocks

• 3D-printed brake handles

• A structure designed for intuitive handling

The WAVE RS reflects SWING’s obsession with refining feel, performance, and pilot comfort.

MIRAGE 2 RS vs WAVE RS — Two Different Mindsets

MIRAGE 2 RS
Speedflying with a downhill, technical attitude. Steep lines, tight manoeuvres, trick potential — built for pilots who like to push every contour.

WAVE RS
Smooth, rhythmic, playful speed with style. It eats up flatter lines, rewards flow, and gives you that surf-the-mountain feeling that becomes seriously addictive.

Choosing the WAVE RS isn’t just choosing a wing — it’s choosing more options, more lines, and more reasons to hike back up.

Who Is the WAVE RS For?

The WAVE RS is built for experienced pilots who love reading terrain, flying tight lines, and using the mountain as their playground. Whether you’re running Ass2Grass, carving steep descents, gliding flatter faces, or blasting into strong-wind soaring — the WAVE RS delivers the speed, precision, and versatility to match your style.

Sizes 10 and 11.5
Perfect for skilled speedflying and parakite pilots who want a fast, reactive wing with razor-sharp handling and tight energy control.

Sizes 13 and 15
Ideal for pilots stepping into the parakite world or downsizing from bigger wings. These sizes offer a more compact, agile feel while still keeping things predictable and confidence-building.

Even with the WAVE RS’s stability and advanced tech, alpine flying close to terrain — especially in thermal or turbulent conditions — always carries risk. Pilots should understand local weather patterns, know the terrain, and choose launch and flight plans with intention and respect.
