Speedflying is a new winter flying sport. Created by paraglider pilots and skydivers looking for a new and exhilarating sensation and to create a link between gliding by ski and gliding through the air. For a few years now, a handful of pioneers, like Gin's test pilots, have used skydiving parachutes or modified kites.

Gin and his team, not only have the advantage of experience when designing a speedflying wing, but have also tested everything personally in the most challenging environments, right from the very top (from the first exciting speedflights from Mont Blanc and the Eiger) all the way back to the basics (setting up the first speed flying schools in the Alps). From either extreme and everywhere between, Gin's team is best placed to provide the ideal speedflying wing.

Winter 2005/06: Gin Gliders was the first brand to design a wing specially designed for Speedflying: The NANO was born, inspiring many to take up speedflying in 2006.
Our basic philosophy has always been: easy, safe and maximum fun.

Winter 2007: the 07 version is ready.
Now with diagonal ribs and many 2nd generation improvements, the NANO is more compact, even easier, and offers perfect handling. Added to these improvements are a new look and new optimised and improved materials, the direct result of the many hours in the extreme and harsh environments off-piste and also in the schools.
The NANO is still true to the same philosophy; easy, safe and fun.
The new 07 version is now one important step forward compared to our earlier models and way ahead of the competition.

The NANO has a wide speed range and in addition has a trim system to vary the glide angle and to speed up or slow down flight. Adjust the NANO to match your skill and the terrain. All sizes are very easy to launch, extremely solid in flight and offer an easy, progressive and responsive reaction to your inputs. The NANO range is wide enough to suit everyone, from novice to speed junkie.

The NANO is delivered complete with glider, a specially designed "Speedflyer" convertible harness/rucksack, carabiners and a stowable, fast packing bag.

Available in 4 sizes.
Pick your size according to your weight and more importantly experience.
The 13m2 and 14 m2 are for light or heavy beginners and regular intermediates.
The 12 m2 needs to be flown by experienced pilots.
The 10 m2 is dedicated to expert pilots only.

The practice of speedflying needs a good level of skiing.
You need to learn from the paragliding schools who are set up and able to teach speedflying. You will gain essential knowledge and you will learn faster in a fun, controlled, less stressful and safer environment.

Practicing on ski slopes is forbidden. If your resort has not already designated an area for speedflying, it is highly recommended that you contact the ski resort safety service. They should be able to give authorisation for an off-piste area to practice. As you may be a pioneer in your area, make sure you maintain a responsible attitude in your first steps toward speedflying.

All responsible speedflying pilots should equip themselves with a complete set of good off-piste ski and avalanche equipment (Recco, transceiver (Arva), shovel, probe, etc...)

It is absolutely essential to check the weather forecast and snow conditions. Take any advice from resort safety experts or high mountain guides.

Always practise with utmost safety in mind for maximum enjoyment and fun.
