About Us

Flybubble Paragliding. Free Flight Experts. Equipment Specialists.

Flybubble is a specialist freeflight (paragliding, hang gliding, speed flying and paramotoring) equipment retailer and distributor based in the UK. We aim to give an outstandingly personalised service to our valued customers. We offer a select range of the best equipment from the top freeflight manufacturers, and hold far more stock than most. This means we can offer you a great choice of new and used gear, package deals and part exchanges, plus expert buying advice through our unique Flybubble MATCH service.

We are passionate pilots, and between us love all aspects of freeflying—from ridge soaring to hike-and-fly, cross country, competitions and acro—so can advise on many different styles of flying and equipment. In particular we are experts at matching pilots to equipment, and equipment to pilots!

Most of all, we care about your safety and progression as a pilot. Apart from keeping all the product information up to date on our website, so you can make better-informed decisions, we review freeflight gear, compile tips, and create articles and videos so you can benefit from our expertise and improve your flying.

"Thanks so much to Nancy and Carlo at Flybubble. Their friendly and clear-minded approach to matching a person to the wing is a brilliant service. I could be assured all was well. I trust Flybubble implicitly and they have never let me down."

- Flybubble customer Paul Grover

What can we do for you?

You're buying equipment you need to trust with your life. Are you making the best decision?

Use our expertise to find the right match with your skills and aspirations. We gather information directly from the manufacturers about current developments across a wide range of products. We fly them and test them in varied conditions. We draw on this knowledge when helping customers with every gear choice.

We avoid bias by offering a wide yet carefully curated selection of the best brands and products, so we are free to choose the right model for you. Also we are 100% customer-focused, not brand focused, and want the same end result as you: We want you to be extremely happy with all of the gear you choose to buy from us. This way we get great job satisfaction (which is why we keep doing what we do) and we hope that you will recommend us to others and come back to us to buy more gear when you need it in future. By taking advantage of our unique MATCH buying service you get equipment that will build your confidence and help you get the most joy out of your flying for years to come.

Get a personal consultation with our Flybubble MATCH service (more on this below) then use our expertise to narrow your shortlist down to the best choice. Relax in the knowledge that delivery will be as fast as possible and any problems will be sorted out with minimum fuss.

We've been trusted by pilots since the early 90s. Find out why.

Flybubble MATCH service

This is our unique expert buying service to ensure you get the right and best wing, harness or reserve for YOU. It does not add anything to the cost of gear. This down-payment allows you to take advantage of our expert guidance straight away: you get personalised advice to find the gear that matches your individual requirements.

Once you've chosen the equipment you like best then you pay the balance and we send it to you (or order it in). So this service doesn't cost you anything extra and once you've tried doing business this way, you'll see that it offers you exceptional value for money.

1. Consultation

Get expert advice from devoted freeflight equipment specialists, also highly experienced pilots and instructors. We've been flying and supplying top-notch flying equipment since the early nineties. When you buy your equipment from us you will benefit from our knowledge, and ensure you buy the right and best equipment for YOU.

2. Ordering & Delivery

We appreciate you ordering from us and will fulfil your order as quickly as possible.

3. Checks

In the unlikely event there's something wrong with a new wing, it's best that we're the last stop in the professional quality control line. That's why we offer professional final product checks as part of our service when you purchase your new wing from us. Not all dealers offer these checks, which can put you at risk if you don't know what to look for.

4. Service

We strive to offer friendly and personal service, so we're always here for you if you need support after buying something from us. We've built strong trade links with suppliers and can call on them for hassle-free exchanges or warranty repairs.

Whether you're looking to buy a new wing, harness, reserve or instrument, our unique buying service cannot be beaten. It's a complete solution designed to give you stress-free shopping and good advice to match you with gear you can trust so that you can fly with complete confidence.

"Flybubble say they match the wing to the pilot and their recommendation was perfect. Superb customer service and communication throughout. Great part ex on my old wing and great price on the new. I am a repeat customer of Flybubble and with service like that why go anywhere else."

Looking for the best value?

Package deals

If you buy at least two high-cost items at the same time (like a wing, harness or reserve) we can offer you a package deal. The more you buy, the better the deal we can give you. Contact us for more details.

Part exchange (trade-ins)

If you don't want the hassle of trying to sell your wing, harness or reserve yourself, we can offer you a part exchange deal when you purchase a new wing, harness or reserve from us. First get the gear professionally serviced or repacked by a reputable paraglider service centre e.g. in the UK, The Loft Workshop. Then email us a copy of their completed service report and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.

Special offers
