We had a great week. Not only the summer finally arrived but the heat is up there too… John and James have been working hard at the training hill and the results are great.

Lumby Air Races took place the second weekend in June - as always. Our trip started a bit late since we had to wait for my comp glider to arrive from Brazil. SOL agreed to send me a used Tracer, competition wing, for me to participate in some of the 2008 competitions. The Lumby competition started on Friday and my glider arrived at 11 am in Victoria and after picking it up we drove straight to the ferry and rushed to the interior.

Today I’m taking back all the bad things I’ve had said about Mt. Prevost…

We started the day at the west launch after a quick hi to Steve and the Shaw TV crew. Robert went for his first flight of the day and soared the cliff for a while with over 200 meters over the take off.

Prymus continues to develop to a new version. Prymus 3 was developed to be used in schools, beginners and regular pilots that like safety.

The aim accomplished is a paraglider that allows the pilot to feel the magic of flying, enjoying the ascendants to be hours in the air, making distance flights and with time to start your 'freestyle' flight.

For the new season we premier with harness: the ONE. The innovative lightweight reversible harness was developed for pilots, who like hiking to their launch site. The ONE weighs in at only 1.9 kg (including Cygnus Airbag), is supremely comfortable to carry and the backpack leaves enough room even for a neatly packed Mentor.

MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE AND COMFORT PAIRED WITH SECURITY, MATERIALS, COLORS AND TECHNICAL INNOVATIONS

The SOL competition and XC harnesses for pilots focused on results. Our development team worked hard and our best pilots tested these harnesses in the most extreme conditions - hundreds of km flown, lots of hours spent in the air and a new World record** was set on the CX2. These facts establish a superior product.
