Paragliding take off - St. Hilaire - ParaglidingZoneJust some of the sites to be seen at the festival this year. It was great to catch up with old friends and to make new ones too.
Despite unfavourable weather forecasts leading up to the event, all turned out ok and the sun played ball and the wind was fair. A huge storm raged on the revellers on the Friday night but the morning faired well.

So what was new.

Sky Paragliders showcased their Sky New Gen (SNG) ruck sack range which will be available soon with new gliders and as a separate item too. The New Gen harness range received a huge amount of attention and positive feedback. At the moment there are three sizes of ruck sack to optimise your hiking experience. The smallest is aimed at the pilot with smaller, lighter gear and it is possible to fit ARGOS and SKYLIGHTER harness into this for a very compact package. The regular Large size is similar to our previous Porter L and then there is the XL for tandem kit. A full product launch of the bags and review will be online soon.
