New Instructor at Wings & Waves!

LaurentLaurent

For the busiest time of the summer, instructor Laurent Chiabaut from France is working at Wings & Waves.

At home in France, Laurent works in one of the highest profile and biggest PG school I know, in one of my most favorite places in the world to fly paragliders: Annecy, France, not far from Geneva in Switzerland and Chamonix in France.

WOFs 2011/12 for Auckland paragliders

With the thermalling season started, this is a good time to do our annual WOF checks for Auckland Club paragliders. This year we are a little late with the WOFs due to disruptions at our loft - the builders very nearly dropped the roof onto our heads. All good now and the loft is cleaner and tidier than ever before!

New PG2 theory lessons

By popular demand, we are running another PG2 theory course, starting

Thursday, 3 October, 6.30pm at our loft in Bayswater.

This course is free for all Wings & Waves students and $20 per session for anyone else. If you are currently doing your PG2 or feel you need to brush up on your theory knowledge, please come in!

We will cover all aspects of PG theory which will prepare to become a competent paragliding pilot as well as prepare you for the PG2 and 3 theory test. This is your chance to gain a great understanding of paragliding knowledge and pick our brain mercilessly and is an essential part of your paragliding carreer.

The sessions include

Sprint Evo Video - Gin explaining some details of the design

Gin Soek explains some details of the design of the new Gin Sprint Evo, the latest EN B rated intermediate glider. The first Gin Evos are in Auckland now. WOW, what a step forward!

With the strong NZ$ this is the perfect time to get a sharp deal on an up-grade for the coming flying season. This is a stunning new glider, as each Gin glider it quietly achieves much more than anticipated. More info on the GIN website for the Sprint Evo.
