Dmitry Evseev

Dmitry Evseev is the athlete behind this site: Mauritius-based, riding the full SFT calendar since parawing racing existed. He is the runner-up of the first-ever SFT Downwind Parawing World Cup — 2nd in the men’s World Championship classification at the Lake Garda finale, and 1st in the Master division. Every review published here went through his hands on the water; the full bio and test methodology live on his author page.

Season results

The vice-champion claim is not a bio line — it links to the official results. At the SFT World Cup Lake Garda 2026 finale he finished 2nd in the World Championship men’s ranking and 1st Master, 4th in the Parawing event overall. Earlier stages: 4th at Cabarete (Dominican Republic) and 9th at the historic first World Cup event in Leucate, France. He first rode a parawing in 2024 on first-generation gear.

The method he’s known for

Dmitry’s signature contribution to the technique library is the double-stage 4A stow and a controlled, same-tack redeploy — the sequence documented in stashing mid-ride and redeploying on water. Gather the four centre lines to the split (stop before the knot), break the canopy downward so gravity folds the cells, catch the leading edge, and turn the bar 180° so the lines wrap inside. Because he always stows on the same tack, the leading edge is always in a known place for the redeploy. The tips above are his own words from the method video.
