KiteWorld Shop spent three days at the AWSI trade show testing gear to figure out what was actually interesting at AWSI 2026. This summary provides an unbiased look at new releases across wing foiling, parawinging, and downwind setups. The video covers a lot of ground, including the latest hollow boards from Appletree, stabilizer developments from KT, and Armstrong’s specific parawing hardware.
