When learning to paraglide, ground handling is often taught as a single skill set, but high-wind ground handling deserves its own focused training. Managing a glider in strong wind isn’t just about using your hands—it’s about understanding how to use your body, particularly your hips, as the primary control mechanism.
Read MoreMiniwings provide a bridge between paragliders and speed wings, making them an excellent choice for pilots seeking a faster, more dynamic wing without the high-risk profile or specialization of a speed wing. Their balance of agility and efficiency makes them ideal for a wide range of flying conditions and pilot skill levels.
Read MoreParakites are a fascinating innovation, blending design elements from both paragliders and speed wings while introducing advanced features for dynamic, high-energy flying. The reflex profile enhances stability and allows the wing to maintain its shape during aggressive maneuvers. The parakite’s riser system is specially designed to provide the pilot full range of the speed system within the brake travel. This allows pilots to soar more efficiently, converting kinetic energy into altitude, making parakites highly effective for coastal soaring and other high-performance flying conditions.
