Award Winning Instruction




Paragliders

Paragliding wings come in different sizes. The wing size that will fit you
depends on your Takeoff Weight.

Fortunately for our students and customers, Eagle Paragliding imports
three (3) premium paragliding brands; AirDesign, UP, and Niviuk.
The takeoff weight ranges of these brands are staggered, so we can offer
a wider variety of weight considerations. Here are brands Eagle imports,
and the wings they make, organized by LTF/EN rating:
