Paragliding is the purest form of flying. By harnessing the elements and rising currents of warm air, one can stay aloft for many hours and travel great distances. This simple engine-free aircraft fits easily into a rucksack and weighs around 12kg. Because it can fly very slowly, we can foot launch and gently land again with minimum effort, making it perfect for pioneering new sport of adventure flying.
