“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(\u2026) 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\u201d, explains the English pilot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI 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\u2019s) less pressure”, concludes Whittall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
