The short version: F-One's new Quest parawing has landed in the shop, it's the most beginner-friendly pocket wing we've had through the doors, and we have it in stock in Galway from 2.0m² to 6.0m². Parawinging is the fastest-moving corner of foiling right now, and the Quest is F-One's answer to the question we hear most: which one is easiest to actually learn on?
What the Quest is for
F-One built the Quest for wandering — heading out, following the bumps, and letting the session go where the water takes you. Their own line is that it's "designed for those who prioritize comfort and downwind performance over speed and ultimate upwind performance", and that's exactly the honest way to read it: this is not a race wing. It's the parawing you reach for when you want easy power, easy packing and no drama. For most riders getting into pocket winging and downwinding, that's precisely the right trade.
What stands out
Three things caught our attention when we got hands on it. First, the Double Dynamic Bridle System — bar feedback is precise and power management feels intuitive rather than twitchy, with excellent depower when you want the wing to disappear. Second, the bridles connect at only two points on the ends of the bar, with no central B line — total freedom for your hands, and noticeably fewer tangle opportunities, which anyone who has wrestled a parawing in a squall will appreciate. Third, Pack Assist: a bridle architecture that drops the line tension while you're stashing it, so packing down mid-run is faster and far less of a fight. Add the softer canopy, shorter lines and the new vertical bar and the whole thing is built around one idea: less faff, more riding.
Quest or Pocket Rocket?
We stock both, so we'll give it to you straight. The Ozone Pocket Rocket V2 (€919 in 1.9m²) is the sportier feel of the pair; the Quest leans harder into comfort, stability and easy packing. If your goal is learning to parawing this season and downwinding as the ambition, the Quest is the one we'd hand you first. If you've wing skills already and want something lively, read our Pocket Rocket first impressions and have the chat with us — sizing matters more than brand here.
Sizes and prices in Ireland
The Quest runs 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0 and 6.0m², from €899 (2.0m²) to €1,199 (6.0m²), in Lilac/White or Red/White. We're holding stock in Galway right now in everything except the 4.5 and 5.0, which are on the way back in. Which size suits you depends on your weight, your foil and your local wind — message us your details and we'll tell you straight rather than guessing you into the wrong wing.
Try it, learn it, buy it right
Parawinging pairs beautifully with the Code Foils range we run as demo gear — that glide through the lulls is what makes bay downwinding work, as we wrote about in our Galway Bay downwind post. We also teach parawing lessons on Galway Bay, so you can learn on our gear before spending a euro on your own. See the full range on our Parawings Ireland collection.
WhatsApp us on 087 144 8888 with your weight and experience for honest sizing — or call into the shop in Barna and see the Quest folded down to its party trick of a packed size in the flesh. No pressure, just the chat.
