Gin Gliders
Boomerang Sport
Serial Class Paraglider
The Boomerang Sport is designed for cross country and competition.
It is our highest performing glider ever to be certified DHV Class 2-3: pure high performance, born from our long competition experience, and trimmed by the best competition pilots: Max Jeanpierre, Stefan Wyss, Housi Bolinger, Jimmy Pacher, Kaoru Ogisawa, and of course Jung Seyong and Gin Seok Song himself.
Compared to the level of this kind of wing, the Boomerang Sport is very easy to inflate and offers precise feedback and a compact sensation for the pilot, creating a comfortable, safe and stable feeling.
The Boomerang Sport offers a high aspect ratio (6.2) and a big arc with square tips, following the new trend of Gin Gliders designs including the Boomerang 4. At the same time, compared to the high level of performance, the Boomerang Sport is much easier, more precise and dynamic to handle than a competition wing.
The Boomerang Sport is suitable for talented pilots with a few years experience flying DHV Class 2 or 2-3 gliders. A minimum of 80 flying hours per year is recommended to fly the Boomerang Sport safely in all conditions.
Gin Gliders Rigifoil System
Like our other successful competition gliders, the Boomerang Sport is also equipped with the Rigifoil System patented by Gin Gliders.
Gin Gliders "Kick-Down Speed System"
The Boomerang Sport is equipped with a unique acceleration system that offers the pilot increased feedback through the speed bar pressure. The “Kick-Down Speed System” helps the pilot to be more aware of the incidence of the wing and therefore glide performance. At 50% acceleration there is marked increase in pressure to alert the pilot of his position along the polar curve.
Gin Gliders Boomerang Sport > Materials & Construction
The Boomerang Sport is constructed using the latest Porcher fabrics and Liros lines. We chose Liros thin Dyneema lines for their high performance in terms of stretching, high ratio strength/thickness and longevity.

Custom Colours for Gin Gliders
It is possible to have your Gin Glider made with Custom Colours, however there is an additional charge of £250 for this and a 4-6 week wait for delivery.
Colours can only be chosen from the colours available for the material the glider is made from.
The colour layout has to be based on the gliders standard design (pattern).
The glider will normally have to wait for a scheduled delivery to be sent, unless you want it to be couriered as soon as it's ready for an additional cost of £50 (this could save up to 2 weeks).
Once you have decided which colours you want, remember to make a note of this and include these details with your order.
