UP International News

Endlich sind unsere stylischen UP T-Shirts in neuem Design da! Passend zu unseren aktuellen Schirmfarben auch in der Farbe lime.

Vor nun schon zwei Wochen wurden die ersten Summit XC3 weltweit bei unseren Distributoren ausgeliefert. Es ist kein Geheimnis, dass wir auf die Produkteinführung dieses Schirmes sehr stolz sind.

The one absolutely indispensible clothing item in a paraglider pilot's wardrobe just got an update; the new UP t-shirts are the coolest-looking pg attire since lilac was all the rage back in the early nineties!!!

If you're thinking of getting a new wing there is simply no better way to get the lowdown on the market than to join the Super Testival in Kössen during the last weekend of May.

As usual when releasing a new product, we are bombarded with mutually exclusive concerns;

Followers of the UP News here will have noticed that our friend and colleague Stefan "Boxi" Bocks was in Central Asia last summer, on a quest to become the first person to travel from Dushanbe in Tajikistan to Issyk Kyl in Kirgistan by foot and paraglider.
