INTRODUCTION

Welcome to skywalk!

Congratulations on the purchase of your new CAYENNE5 and thank you for your trust in 
us and in our products. In this manual you will find information that will help you quickly 
get to know your new paraglider to ensure your fun for a long time.

At skywalk we are enthusiastic about wind sports and innovative technologies. When we 
founded skywalk in 2001, our goal was to make paragliders and kites that offer new solu-
tions to set new impulses, and to provide customers with a maximum of user friendliness.  
Today we are one of the most successful paraglider manufacturers in the world. For this 
we are thankful for our curiosity about everything that flies, sails and surfs, as well as our 
interest in a variety of outdoor sports.  It’s this “big picture” view that allows us to contin-
uously set new accents in paragliding.

We are always open for questions, comments or critique and are happy to provide you at 
any time with further information!

Your skywalk Team
Pure Passion for Flying
