Speedflying, a new concept...
Speedflying is descending a mountain quickly.
It is flying with strong wind
It's one more dimension so you don't miss out on flying for even one more day.
Bobcat, the speedflying sail ::
The Bobcat opens new horizons for dedicated pilots with extensive flying experience. Air, speed, and playfulness come together to create a new dimension of flight... the scope of action expands! The interplay of trajectories with ease and speed opens up new piloting possibilities previously unexplored.
The Bobcat gives you the opportunity to experience the first-time experience of flying, while also opening up new possibilities. You'll descend the mountain with this simple, sturdy glider, in the most rugged conditions.
You'll enjoy strong winds: slopes or fields...

Speedgliders, a new concept in design ::
Speedriding and speedflying are based on a new concept
developed by Gin Gliders.
Speedflying gliders are not small, scale paragliders. Speedflying gliders are designed for high speed, low glide ratio, and stability.
There are 5 important elements to consider when designing a speedflying wing:
• Pitch stability
• Angle of attack control
• Variable glide ratio
• Wide range of controllable speeds
• Compact shape
These 5 elements allow the adaptation of these sails to their specific use, speedriding and speedflying
safely.
Speedflying, fields of use ::
"Traditional" Speedflying, unlike modern paragliders, offers adrenaline-fueled descents along the mountain path, thanks to its low glide ratio and high trim speed. You'll reach the bottom faster, but with a big smile on your face.

Slope construction in strong winds
How many pilots have dreamed of the Bobcat, when facing "strong winds" of
30-45 km/h? It's here!
On the coast, in the mountains, or on your favorite slope—when you can't take your paraglider out, the Bobcat takes over.
Camp training
How many schools have dreamed of the Bobcat? It's here!
To safely learn the basics of inflation on the school slope, and familiarize yourself with takeoff techniques in stronger winds, the Bobcat is a great teaching tool.
Mountaineering
How many mountaineering pilots have dreamed of descending from a peak? It's here!
The Bobcat allows you to take off and fly in windy conditions, where a paraglider would be impossible. It's compact, lightweight, and fits easily into the bottom of an experienced mountaineer's backpack.
Its instant inflation, together with its great stability in turbulence,
will allow you to enjoy the mountains in an exciting and novel way.
