Following the SKYPPER’s success, this pro- mising harness is destined to reach top ranking levels within the international competition arena... Fine tuned in colla- boration with Charles Cazaux, it integrates the state of the art in the most up to date technologies : two reserve parachute pockets, high speed stability, superb handling abilities in thermals, streamlined and reduced drag. The SKYPPER FR is THE competition no- velty by definition, and was consequent- ly chosen by Charles Cazaux and Felix Rodriguez to compete in this season’s Paragliding World Cup.

The XP² is a harness dedicated to Cross- country and performance flying. It will suit any pilot flying with a foot-rest reclined body posture. A dorsal Airbag protector in case of impact, and a built-in reserve parachute pocket are integrant parts of the harness. An optional Speed- bag can be adapted and connected via a new double flap Velcro® system. The backrest adjustment (taken after the SKYPPER harness) is most suited to benefit all reclined body posture angles in flight, from upright to fully relaxed. The backpack volume is large enough to accommodate a high performance wing and accessories. When compared with the ALTIRANDO XP unveiled in 2008, we will find a fully overhauled product for added performance and increased comfort.

>> The International Team Pilots The SUP’AIR Team Pilot, coordinated and managed by Charlie Piccolo, has already officially been in existence for five consecutive years. For the couple last seasons, a few new national teams have emerged and become true springboards to new generations of talented pilots eager to join the activity. Respective Swiss, German, Austrian and Spanish teams are fully active to date. Their basic discipline primarily focuses on the Acro activity but nowadays, Cross- country (XC) and paragliding expeditions have become a increasingly part of their agenda.

>> Helping talented newcomers SUP’AIR is becoming a true catalyst to pilots by helping in various ways through sponsorship, specialized gear offers, logistical support, discussion seminars, event coordination. The team is now making headway on its own, dynamically fueled by the common enthusiastic attitude of its members keen to excel at what they love to do best. It has become a vessel of talented individuals!

>> Product development Feedback from expert pilots, their relevant detailed explanations and suggestions supported by strong field experiences, enable SUP’AIR to technically progress and better its product line as a whole, while having an emphasis on Acro and XC flying.
