Wings & Waves trip to Bright

I have rented a really nice big house right in Bright township, hired a good size van, engage a great young local pilot to assist me on the course, have a great fun group of NZ pilots - now I can take 1 more pilot on our course.

Laurent

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.

For the next while, we will be operating Wings & Waves from Eva's house at 26 Beresford Street, Bayswater.

The double garage and the loft space above will be set up for office, service and sales. In the new years, we will be moving to new and very exciting premises. Watch this space!!

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

Spring Flying: Jeff Ripley at Moirs Hill on 20th August

Now, that winter is nearly over and with the first XC (attempts) under our belts, it is time to crank up the flying season 2011!

We suggest to start in style, with a OPEN DAY, BBQ and free tandems for our students

Saturday, 3rd September 2011
hopefully at Maioro training site

All our existing and former students can sign up a couple of their mates, new people, sign up for any PG course to be in for a free tandem flight with our NZ Champion pilots!

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.
