Skynomad Paragliding Open 2008 report
All out at the Skynomad Open
The Skynomad Open, which followed the Paragliding World Cup in Sopot, Bulgaria, was a great success according to organisers.
Five varied tasks were carried out over five days in classic Balkan summer weather conditions, with Orlin Dimov, BG, coming out the overall winner on his Advance Omega prototype.
Zsuzsa A’Kos, HU, won the serial category on his Aspen 2, and Marina Olexina, RU, was top woman (Gin Boomerang 5).
The organisers said they were very pleased to report that the concept of the competition (low entry fee, no extravagant parties and no official ceremonies; just efficient retrieve and GPS-ing, creative and safe task setting: flying, joy and learning!) worked well and will be repeated in the future.
