What do we have that works to carry a second parawing? Something that doesn't interfere with the stash belt?

The backpack is kind of a bummer no matter what for me. I'd find a way to lash it to your board like a foildrive battery if you can.
I love this fully waterproof bag. Can fit two BRM parawings perfectly. Bombproof. Look for it on sale, otherwise, it's too pricey.
It's made for fly fishing/wading, so it's really easy to undo one of the two straps and it swings around to your stomach so it's easy as to swap PWs with the zipper facing up on your lap.
They other day my buddy was learning and getting blown offshore with the current, underpowered on a 4M. I went over and and took out my 4.8 and packed away his 4M and he made it back to shore easy.

I second the Patagonia Sling!!! Works perfectly and works well to keep water out.

Yeah, just make sure to fully lock the zipper. I left one side open a cm one session and it slowly took on water throughout the session to the point where I couldn't get on foil anymore. I went to grab a bigger PW and found the problem 
Definitely can see the need/use for a manera type pack for optional stashing besides a stash belt .the manera looks nice but seems made for wings though so probably a little on the bigger side they need to make a adjustment for a parawing size for 2 and be tops

Yeah I'm not sold on a drain option. I think the best solution is fully waterproof. The best technique is to get is as dry as possible before stowing. Ideally that means flying and shaking it a bit before carefully stowing.
With a bag that allows water ingress means that one fall allows water to fill all the nooks and crannies of the wadded PW, much of which will not drain without turning the bag upside down.
On my last session with the double skin Paia, I fell at the top of the run and fully submerged the PW. I relaunched quickly and immediately stowed the Paia in my ozone belt. It was so heavy that it made pumping between sections awkward, having to hold it steady with free hand. Squishing and squeezing it to help water out didn't make much of a difference. Obviously a double skin is worse than a single skin.
Another time, when I left my bag open a tiny bit, water got in and soaked my two back ups. After dumping the water out, the bag was still waaay heavier. Not to mention that I had to dry two extra wings post session.
I think companies could easily make a roll top option and maybe add a plug(s) at the bottom. Roll top would be cheap to make, no expensive zippers. A series of a few 1 cm wide drain holes at the bottom that could be plugged with little rubber stoppers would be amazing. I'm considering trying to add that somehow to my Patagonia for the best of both worlds.
Totally agree, I've been using a See to Summit waterproof sling with roll top. So light and you can squeeze the water out pretty easy. I'd like to get the last of the air out and was thinking a one way valve would be nice if possible. The 9L fits the 4.5m wet Paia nicely (below). I honestly don't notice it on my back, maybe a little when prone paddling. I get that a stash belt should be open, but for storing a second wing then it has to be water tight or it will gain so much weight when you fall in.

you convinced me. Just ordered an 8l and strap. Could not find a 9l option.
Anyone on something like this? www.sportsshoes.com/product/sal6195/salomon-adv-skin-cross-season-15-race-flag-running-vest---aw25
Salomon Advanced skin x season. The shoulder straps have nice pockets (for a GoPro stick!)

Yes 8L is correct, not 9L my mistake. I also have a 5L which fits a BRM single skin but the opening is a bit small takes longer to put the wing in. For the ultimate light weight performance this is an option but I tend to use the 8 L most of the time.
Well this thread has been a good read. I was just thinking about this as I did my first time doing dw runs with 2 pwings yesterday. I have a roll top dry bag that I strapped to the back of my pfd. I was wondering if a mesh pack would be a better option but after reading this I think I will stick with what Ive got

Speaking of PFDs I just realized that Mystic came with this downwinder vest to which a small pack can be attached at the back. Now just for a hydration pack..

WIP has developed such a attachable pack but at 120 EUR its overkill and perhaps too big.
I might try the Mystic PFD (as I anyway need a new one) and see if I can fix the Ozone mesh bag to it.
where is the AI meme using the idea of one of those south east asian moped stacked including wife and baby . on the water with parawings 
Haven't tried it but looks strong, will pick one up this week.
