The Cloud Street Winch is the most versatile winch commercially available…period.

Custom Red Bull Winch
We were flattered to be chosen to manufacture the ultimate winch for Red Bull North America. It was a tall order: tow paragliders, hang gliders, tandems, wake boarders and skiers. We did it. In Spring 2010, we delivered the ultimate winch to the Mid West Business Unit of Red Bull North America. The winch lives in Chicago and enjoys a ride on Red Bull’s MTX. Check out the video and pics.
New Addition
The CSW family grew by one this season. Becky and Justin welcomed Bella Brim to the team on March 28, 2010.
There is simply no easier and friendlier way to maximize your paragliding and hang gliding time. If you haven’t towed before, it is a dream. If you already tow then you must have a Cloud Street. No other system rewinds faster or pays out smoother.
