This summer a brand new flying show and social event for the paragliding and paramotoring community is hitting the UK calendar.
Situated in a picturesque country-central location and in the landing fields of the popular paragliding site Llangollen, North Wales will be Parafest 2015.
The camp and showground are at the base of Llangollen hill and there are plenty of other free-flying sites in the surrounding area that are within easy driving distance. We also have a flying field for paramotors and plenty of unrestricted airspace.
With paramotor and paragliding trader’s and schools exhibiting, a market area, kids zone, chainsaw carving, other sideshow attractions, caterers, all- weekend camping and a bar with live music in the marquee on Friday and Saturday nights Parafest 2015 will be a weekend to remember whatever the weather.

Air Conception the well known French Paramotor manufacturer has produced a Titanium Exhaust for their Ultimate 130cc engine, making this little power plant even lighter. The engine that was already one of the lightest power to weight units available is now only 10.5kg when fitted with the titanium exhaust, with specs of 25hp & claimed thrusts up to 68kg. Not only lighter the titanium exhaust is reported to be stronger and quieter.
Adding the titanium exhaust brings the complete weight of the Ultimate 130 titanium paramotor down to a mere 19.5kg. We can say it is a nice looking exhaust and a welcome departure from the common black painted exhausts we are used to seeing. Can be seen in the UK at Custom-Air.

This sweet looking vario has a long list of features. GPS, G-meter, compass, GSM tracker, 5D visualisation, bluetooth, micro sd.
After three years of development, Italian style dressed by Daniel Valsesia, Digifly is pleased to introduce:
AIR, conceived for competitors, it is the new top of the line, high-resolution displayintegrated vario.
Its shape is optimized to the maximum strength; his display offers the best visibility also in bright light conditions and his four big operative keys ensure the best accessibility even wearing big gloves.
The Digifly AIR is sold in a single full functions version, with only two optional choices:
1) hang gliding pilots can ask for the installation of the optional pitot tube
2) whoever can ask for the installation of the optional GSM-GPRS module needed for the internal Live Tracking, although this is not essential, as the Digifly AIR is equipped with a 4th generation Bluetoothprocessor able to communicate with every current mobile device, e.g. a smartphone on which you can install, for free, the Live Tracking app XC Soar.

Vince from Custom-Air Paramotors showing off the latest AirConception Titanium Paramotor. This Vittorazi Moster powered paramotor claims 74kg thrust yet remains a mere 21.6kg all up ready to fly weight.
Vince says its super strong titanium chassis is unmatched in the strength to weight department + the titanium reinforced 3k carbon spars are strong and super light. At 21.6kg its the lightest moster paramotor I have seen, but its not our lightest motor, for that we have another machine with 64kg thrust and it is yet another 2kg less weight.
This minimalistic design is not to everyones taste but the power to weight is sure to raise a few eyebrows.

The Ultimate inflatable stand up paddle board proves its quality in the toughest tests.
Red Paddle Co customer James Bradshaw paddled his 10’6 inflatable to the finals of the non-pro fleet at the NZ SUP Nationals in spectacular style, gaining one of the loudest cheers of the day as he crossed the finish line in 3rd place, ahead of a full line-up of high tech and expensive racing boards.
James had never raced before, but quickly learnt the necessary skills resulting in him winning his semi-final outright (spurred on considerably by some slightly condescending comments from other racers regarding his choice of ride, who then had to eat their words as it left them in its wake…)
Held at Takapuna Beach in Auckland on Sunday, the event took a welcome step away from the more elitist and equipment-dependent long distance racing formats. The event was a Battle of the Paddle format with the top 5 from each heat progressing to the next round.
Many spectators refused to believe his board was an inflatable – until it was deflated!
On the water it looked just as rigid and fast as the $3000+ carbon race boards he was beating, and in a league of its own in its fast cornering ability.
Red Paddle Co first hit the scene in 2007 and have been leading the way in inflatable SUP board production ever since. Our double layer construction combined with attention to detail with our internal build allows our boards to be rigid as well as durable for use in rivers, open sea, fishing, surf and white water.
No matter what type of paddling you want to do, there is a Red Paddle Co board that will fit your needs. For more information on what’s available visit www.redpaddleco.com
