Yak, the ultra-light speedflying glider
Gin Gliders have produced this ultralight speedwing drawing on all their knowledge and experience of light weight paragliding.. Ultra-easy to inflate, this speed glider makes it easy to become airborne, and to land in a wide range of conditions. Its trim range allows you to decrease the glide ratio for a fast morning descent, or to increase it for a spot of afternoon soaring. Even thermalling is possible (more so with the larger sizes). Be safe, go fast! Take your boots, crampons and hiking poles, and let’s go to play! Available in 3 sizes 15, 16.5 and 18.
To safely fly speedflying wings, you must adapt your skills and knowledge. Please learn with a specialised professional.
