The Dune is a paraglider that breaks the mold and stands out from the rest. With its exceptional flight capabilities, this model allows pilots to perform dynamic descents, agile swoops, and effortlessly convert kinetic energy into altitude, delivering a unique and exhilarating flying experience. The Dune doesn’t just revolutionize slope soaring and hike & fly adventures—it pushes the boundaries of piloting with a new three-dimensional dimension. Its intuitive riser system puts the full potential of speed and maneuverability at your fingertips, ensuring precise control and immediate response with every movement. When you fly with the Dune, you’re not just gliding through the sky: you dive into vibrant descents, execute spectacular maneuvers, and skim just inches above the ground with astonishing precision. But this is where the Dune truly shines: thanks to its innovative design and risers, you can seamlessly transform kinetic energy into altitude, setting the stage for your next heart-pounding maneuver. Slope soaring will never be the same with the Dune. This paraglider redefines the flying experience, opening a range of three-dimensional possibilities that allow you to explore the terrain and skies in an entirely new way, following the contours of the landscape with unprecedented freedom.

> Risers: With just a flick of your fingers, you can unleash the full power of the Dune, from lightning-fast accelerations to controlled glides and precise climbs. It’s a direct connection between pilot and paraglider, giving you the confidence to push the limits of flight with total control and unmatched precision. > Ideal for Hike & Fly: With smaller sizes weighing around 3 kg, this lightweight 60-cell wing keeps weight to a minimum. > Nitinol in the leading edge: The addition of titanium in the nose ensures maximum tension throughout the flight and, combined with the reflex profile, makes the Dune a paraglider that is virtually impossible to collapse.

Here you can download this glider's flight manual…
A printed version of this manual is bundled with the wing.
It includes lots of useful details and information about this glider, also the correct line diagrams for proper replacement.
Each and every wing has a checklist passed though our strict quality control in the factory. This includes line measurement, ground inflation and flight testing. If there was not the opportunity to test fly your glider before you received it then you should get your dealer, or an experienced pilot or qualified instructor, to test fly the glider for you before you fly it. Note that each glider has a unique sticker attached to the centre cell with the serial number, type of glider, size and weight range.
We recommend that your first flight on your new glider be on a gentle slope in calm conditions before making any further higher flights, just to check the glider completely and for you to get used to flying it. You should use the same class of harness, and restrict the width of the chest strap, according to the glider's certification as advised by the certification body.
For you own safety, we strongly recommend the use of back protection, helmet and Windtech WindSOS reserve.
