About CSW

Cloud Street Winch was born out of a passion for flying and a love for building fun, functional products.  We offer 4 standard winch products to suit nearly everyone’s needs and also offer custom design services utilizing the most advanced CAD software and expertise available in the field of towing.  The CSW products are capable of towing tandem hang gliders, paragliders, speed wings, wake/skate boarders, and some ultralight aircraft. They even have been used by subsidaries of Google X for custom UAV launch applications. This winch can be used to achieve tows as high as 4000′ AGL with both paragliders and hang gliders.  Think of it as a toy for grown ups… If you are new to this and want to see what the buzz is all about, skip ahead to the videos section and check it out.  It’ll blow your mind.

Hitch mountable rigs for both payout and stationary towing

All of our units are offered with a 2″ hitch mount option for convenience of changing vehicles and sharing among pilots.  European versions are available upon request.

12+ Years

The CSW has been in use worldwide for over 8 years now.  We have units being used for all kinds of commercial applications; all the way from tandem boat towing operations, platform launch hang glider operations, SIV’s, and even ultralight aircraft towing. We have built several custom units for a variety of customers in the aerospace arena as well. Our goal is to continue to be the number one source for the worlds most robust, versatile, and dependable tow equipment over the decades.

Standard

Our winches come with everything needed to take them out and go towing.  We don’t believe in breaking down the prices without towline, drogues etc to make it look cheaper.  All of our rigs come equipped with line and drogue.  Basically ready to tow. If a customer already has towline we are happy to provide them without for a discount.  Please feel free to inquire. 

USHPA Training & Certification

As a USHPA tow examiner we are able to offer full training and USHPA certification on site or at the customers location. We are able to offer surface tow, Tech 1 and Tech 2 ratings as well as Tow observer ratings for qualified individuals who attend our clinics.

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.
