Super Paragliding Testival 2010
Following last year’s successful paragliding equipment testing event, a second Super Paragliding Testival will be held in Kössen, Austria, from May 13 – 16 2010.
‘Fly Kössen’ director Sepp Himberger and his team – in close cooperation with PMA (Paragliding Manufacturer Association) and with several large, local sponsors – hope it will eventually become one of the biggest and most important air sports events in the world.
Last year 2,000 visiting pilots tested the gliders and equipment of 20 top market brands who were on site. 5,600 flights were enjoyed over the four days without any accidents.
Organisers say they have purposely avoided organising any airshows, preferring to allow pilots all the airspace and maximum time for testing gliders. However, “a ‘Paragliding Fashion Show’ will demonstrate the different trends in clothing; a vibrant SPT Party sponsored by AXA Insurance with the Cuban grooves of ‘A Buena Vista’ will scorch the social get-together and food and drinks will be offered till late at the famous ‘Fliegerbar’”.
