Other days you want to float, play and kite until the light fades. The SONIC RS doesn't make you pick. It steps into the background and lets you fly the session you turned up for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONIC RS\u003c\/strong\u003e is an all-round parakite built for the coast, the dunes and your local backyard spot. It grew out of SWING's SCORPIO RS reflex wing and was shaped by SWING's Italian R\u0026amp;D team, led by designer Alessio Casolla, over long sessions on the South African coast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of it, \u003cstrong\u003eRAST\u003c\/strong\u003e works with a stable reflex profile to keep the canopy composed across a wide wind range, so you can focus on your line and not on managing the wing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SONIC RS handles intuitively and rewards clean inputs, whether you're ground handling, soaring or setting up one more swoop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOne Wing. A Bigger Playground.\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SONIC RS covers more of the day than a single wing usually does.
