Our 12th to 15th of October SIV Course was blessed with great weather and a diverse group of 10 pilots eager to learn new skills and increase their confidence and wing control.
All pilots performed several accelarated asymmetric and full frontal collapses, deep spirals, an average of 10 full stalls each, tails slides, spins and a few Sats.
Everyone achieved a great progression ✅️ Congratulations to all participants.
Thank you Phil Mansell and Lucas Toledo for the great towing.

The elusive 500km+ Cross Country flight. 🙏

Thursday the 2nd of October 2025 was my last flying day on a 12 Day Cross Country trip to the brazilian outback, the Sertao Nordestino.
I have had great flights on this trip including flights with incredible average speeds that unfortunately ended up short.
On the trip's last day I was fortunate enough to achieve my goal of flying over 500km ✅️
This season in the Sertao has taught me that a 600km flight in 🇧🇷 is possible.

Thank you , , .coutinho.souza, and all this year's crew for the tow launches, XC support, amazing retrieves and the good vibes 😀

Hope to see you all soon!

19th FAI Paragliding World Championships. Castelo - Espirito Santo - Brasil.

It was an honour to be part of the Australian National Paragliding Team and to represent Australia alongside Gareth Carter. 🇦🇺
We flew 8 Tasks in very challenging weather conditions with a mix of strong, stable and windy conditions.
It was a pleasure to fly and compete with 130 of the best pilots in the world. It was a week of many learnings and I'm happy to have finished 30th Overall.
