GROUNDHOG

The GROUNDHOG is for ground-handling.

·        Small, simple design for easy training

·        Ground-handling is one of the best ways toimprove your flying

·        Can be used to practice ground-handling inhigher winds than normal paragliders

·        Specifically designed for strong winds

·        Not for flight!

Ground-handling is one of the most important aspects of paraglidingprogression. With the Groundhog, pilots can progress and learn the most basicor most advanced aspects of ground-handling in strong winds safely and easily.

Because the Groundhog is considerably smaller than a normal wing, it canbe used for ground-handling training in higher wind, meaning that schools andstudents will lose less training days because of weather. Also, the smallersize of the Groundhog makes it easier to use. Students are less likely to bedragged or picked up, and the wing’s quick reactions to brake input andfootwork help to increase the progression of the pilot.

REVIEWS

“I put it to proper use with 2 students today completely new to kiting. Bythe end of the day both were kiting almost perfectly on M size wings.  TheGroundhog allows the student to quickly get to grips with thebrake inputs, balance and body movements required to kite, withoutcompletely exhausting themselves.  The wing flying overhead, falling ontoone side, or flipping over can be quickly remedied and the student is soonready to inflate it again.  Much less stressful for me as I don’t see mywings crashing down on their leading edges constantly and they can get muchmore practice in before a break is required!”
