SROKA FYNIX debuts PushBar system for safer pocket-wing control

SROKA has built the FYNIX around a control change that goes beyond shape and size. The brand’s new PushBar System gives the rider direct power management on a single-skin pocket wing, letting the bar be pushed to cut power, change the wing’s incidence in real time and recover traction when the wind shifts. In a category still defining its handling standards, that is the kind of mechanical update that changes how the wing behaves in the hands, not just how it looks on the beach.

The FYNIX is the first pocket wing in SROKA’s line to use the patented PushBar System, and the company says it is patent pending. SROKA lists the wing in 3.0 m, 4.0 m and 5.0 m sizes, priced at €679.00, with arrival set for June 22. The published weights for the bar, lines and harness tip are 525 grams for the 3.0, 665 grams for the 4.0 and 735 grams for the 5.0. Wind ranges are listed at 23 to 35-plus knots for the 3.0, 14 to 29 knots for the 4.0 and 10 to 25 knots for the 5.0, which shows how deliberately SROKA has split the lineup between stronger-wind control and easier starts in lighter air.

The practical difference from the handle and boom setups riders already know is control authority. A traditional pocket wing still asks the rider to manage power mainly through sheet-and-pull feel, body position and timing. The FYNIX gives a more explicit depower input, with the bar acting as a lever to flatten and de-power the wing instead of just releasing tension. That should matter most in gusty conditions, on long downwind runs and for riders who want cleaner control when stashing the wing and getting back on foil. The tradeoff is that the system asks riders to learn a more specific bar feel and to adapt to a bar-led geometry change rather than a simpler fixed-grip setup.

The launch lands at a useful moment for parawinging. The first official SFT Parawing World Cup took place in Leucate, France, from April 22 to 26, with €8,000 in prize money and a course built around long reaches, beam reaches, downwind sections and stashing segments. That race format puts a premium on fast transitions and usable depower, the exact territory SROKA is targeting. The broader market has also moved quickly since the first BRM Maliko parawing appeared in late summer 2024, and recent design work across the category has leaned hard into efficiency, upwind performance, stability and better depower range.

SROKA’s own backstory fits the launch. Founder Bruno Sroka is a triple kitesurf world champion and the first and only man to pass Cape Horn by kite, a resume that gives the brand a technical credibility edge in a young discipline. For first-time parawing adopters, the FYNIX’s biggest appeal is safer power control. For downwind riders, it is cleaner handling over distance. For experienced foil surfers, it offers the most obvious gain: more precise input when the wind turns messy and the session gets fast.
