“A Progression Project forum rider reports a successful Lake Walensee parawing session in Föhn wind. The rider got on foil readily, rode both directions, went upwind, completed jibes and briefly packed the parawing to ride lake swell. No shore sector or launch is disclosed, so this is a schematic lake pin.”
