A special paragliding wing for soaring
The Puffin V2 is the new version of the wing dedicated to soaring from the French brand LittleCloud. With the arrival of the Parakite in the world of mini-wing soaring, LittleCloud reinvents its best seller to adapt it to this evolution without compromise and without losing its original character!
Attention, the kiterisers is sold separately.
Certification: In progress
Sizes: 16 / 19
Weight (Kg): 3.4 / 3.7
Weight range (Kg): 50 - 120 / 55 - 120
Aspect ratio: 5.3
The design of the Puffin V2 is inspired by the Gracchio Mk3
Based on the Gracchio Mk3, the Puffin V2 integrates the progressive reflex profile developed by LittleCloud, ensuring stability, lift and penetration against the wind. Its flight range is extended, especially at low speeds where efficiency is remarkable.
This wing perfectly embodies the LittleCloud spirit: pitch stability, direct handling, long brake travel and a high level of passive safety.
The Puffin V2 combines technical simplicity with great ease of use
Behind a simple design lies exceptional accessibility. Its predictable reactions and balanced geometry allow use with Kiterisers or with trimming risers.
In Kiteriser mode, the Puffin V2 emphasizes glide and carving, for pure pleasure in hands-up flight. Its precise handling provides direct feedback in the harness, especially during banked turns or extended resources.

The Puffin V2 is aimed at intermediate pilots
This wing targets intermediate pilots already familiar with mini-wings and seeking a dynamic wing, both precise and versatile. It excels in soaring, parakite, and in standard mini-wing programs with conventional risers.
Compared to the Mouette, it offers greater roll dynamics and more crisp reactions, while maintaining a high tolerance at low speeds.
Its light weight, compact volume and broad speed range make it an ideal companion everywhere: beach, mountains, thermals or soaring.
The behavior in flight remains predictable and reassuring
Tested in turbulent conditions, the Puffin V2 remains predictable. It communicates the air mass clearly, with partial collapses serving as an effective regulation without altering the heading.
Its stability delays the occurrence of collapses, but like any soft structure wing, it does not eliminate the risk.
In Kiteriser mode, parachutal phases are clearly announced and the wing immediately resumes flight once the hands are released.
Experienced pilots can take advantage of this behavior for technical maneuvers such as top-landings. In roll, the reactions are instant and accurate, with no overreaction.
The differences between the V1 and V2 are significant
- Precision, stability and speed superior to the V1
- Wider flight range, both in strong winds and light winds
- Reduced brake pressure, lowering pilot fatigue
- Improved tip stability, giving warnings in turbulent conditions
- Overall stability and high-speed stability at a whole new level
- Improved comfort thanks to a more balanced load distribution
