Welcome
Congratulations and thank you from Gin Gliders on your purchase of the Boomerang, the
winning glider of the ’99 and ’00 Paragliding World Cup Constructor’s trophy. Whatever your
goals are in paragliding, we are confident that the Boomerang will help you to reach them.
Being an experienced pilot, you probably know most of the techniques laid out in this manual
involved in flying a paraglider. We would, however, like you to read this manual thoroughly.
Safe flying starts with a good theoretical background.
For whom and why
The Boomerang is designed for all kinds of flying, from ridge soaring and thermalling to
cross country and competition flying. It is also suitable for towing.
We expect the dealer and end-user to have sufficient knowledge and experience of high
performance paragliders, their uses and dangers. Should this not be the case, this manual can
never be the means to gain that experience.
This glider has been designed for a pilot who:
- flies more than 50 flights a year
- has previous experience of thermal flying in strong and turbulent conditions
- can assess the conditions he/she is flying in and if necessary abort the flight
- has completed a safety training course
The information in this manual can under no circumstances replace a proper training in an
authorized paragliding school.If a friend offers you free beginner’s ”lessons” with a
Boomerang or any other paraglider, don’t be tempted, deny firmly.
