Skywalk Equeipment
ARAK AIR 2
Aversatile lightweight wing designed for pilots seeking comfort, performance, and adventure across a wide range of flying conditions.
SPIRIT Miniwing
A fun and dynamic miniwing offering responsive handling and excellent versatility.
RANGE X-ALPS
An ultra-light hike-and-fly harness designed for pilots who value comfort, efficiency, and minimal weight.
This is FLARE.
From the idea that flaring is not just a technique, but a new way to experience the sky. A way that blends control and creativity, safety and thrill, precision and play.
We’re sky chasers, designers, engineers and dreamers. People who never stopped looking up. With over 20 years of experience in kite and paragliding technology, we combine proven engineering with fresh thinking to create gear that feels intuitive, safe and alive in your hands.
But FLARE is bigger than products. It’s a community built around flaring. People who share the same spark. Who know that pushing limits starts with trust in your gear and in yourself. To fly further. To move differently. To discover what’s possible.
This is flaring. This is how we go beyond gravity.
FLARE Parakites
The MOUSTACHE² Size 15, 18 & 22
The brand new MOUSTACHE² has arrived. We took everything that made the original MOUSTACHE iconic and pushed it further. With enhanced features like Mini Ribs, Shark Nose, and a Stabilo Brake on the wingtips, the MOUSTACHE² delivers even more speed, precision, and control. It's faster. Sharper. More responsive.
The BANDIT Size 16
The BANDIT is a brand-new high aspect ratio parakite with the DNA of the MOUSTACHE. It is super fast, rock-solid, and extremely precise with an unmatched climb rate and dive. The performance of this wing overwhelmed even us! It is now possible to soar at the dune, fly to the water, and simply fly back to the dune.
The LINE Size 13 & 15
The LINE transcends the legacy of the MOUSTACHE, tailoring its revolutionary design to the realms of speedflying and speedriding. The wing has a refined reflex profile, assuring ground stability in strong winds through its advanced depower capability. This design translates kinetic energy into vertical mastery, giving speedflyers the power to ascend swiftly and with intention, akin to a hang glider at their command.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to pay to demo equipment?
FLARE equipment is typically included within coaching and progression sessions. Skywalk equipment is available under a small demo fee, which is credited toward purchase.
Can I choose any wing to demo?
Wings are matched based on pilot experience, conditions, and suitability.
Where do demo sessions happen?
Typically Wanaka, Lake Hāwea, or suitable surrounding sites in the Southern Lakes Regions depending on conditions.
Do I need to be an experienced pilot?
Yes, a minimum PG2 level or equivalent is recommended.
Do you offer demo equipment outside Wanaka?
Yes — demo equipment is primarily based in Wanaka and Lake Hāwea, where most sessions are run.
We also periodically run FLARE Experience Days and demo events in other regions (such as Christchurch and selected locations) as part of our national progression programme.
At this stage, we do not ship individual wings for unsupervised demo use. All demo equipment is provided under supervised conditions as part of structured sessions or events.
