“One of the nice things about coming back to the sport is, the first thing is the pilots are super friendly and it’s a joy to to come back in at such a high level and be able to fly with them and to have fun with a new group of people (…) But also equipment is amazing you know, these new gliders, the two liners. And you know I’m on a Zeno right now, I’ve flown an Enzo too, but they fill you with so much confidence(…) When I left it was dangerous to fly fast; now it really feels incredible to fly fast, you just push the bar, you have confidence, you fly with the back risers. It’s amazing”, explains the English pilot.
“I was out (of paragliding) for 20 years, 20 years of development have been very impressive and very good for the sport, because the sport is now safer, it’s faster, I think it’s more fun, (there’s) less pressure”, concludes Whittall.
