Why we developed PGBS ?
PARAGLIDING BALLAST SYSTEM was developed because many times paragliding pilots needed to take some additional weight to increase their flying weight for the better wing load of the paraglider. But they had to still solve it with improvisations like carrying water in plastic bottles (without the possibility drain water down) or carrying under the seat of harnesses dangerous option - stones.
In the global paragliding market isn´t a good solution in all ways, that could solve these problems overall, and other water ballasts weren´t enough durable and could be damaged very easily. So we developed the special product PARAGLIDING BALLAST SYSTEM which had taken more than two years of constant improvements and we have now a maximal reliable solution, that not only increases your flight weight but aslo brings your wing better manageability, dynamics and performance in strong conditions and the option to safely lose the weight if it´s necessary.
Ballasts are made in three sizes 5L, 8L, and 10L and three colors grey, blue, and black from very durable materials and used parts. The filling is possible easily with the folding funnel from every water source. Are equipped with a belt and handle for comfortable wearing. Are compatible with most types of racing harnesses with the possibility to shortcut hose according to requirements. Or can get the ballast inside the bigger cockpit deck.
WE ARE A PROUD SPONSOR:
SRS Skywalk Edition Gemona, Italy, 2-9 July 2025
The SRS will be taking to the skies above Gemona in Italy, the land of prosecco, pizzas and paragliding, from the 2nd to the 9th of July!
Gemona clings to the hillside at the point where the Italian plains are dramatically pushed up into towering dolomitic mountains.
Flying in Gemona offers a fantastic mix of long, alpine style ridges, taking the pilots up to 1700m, and sizzling flat lands, as low as 150m.
Pilots will have to manage the valley winds and know how to fly the flats, where birds mark the thermals and long glides will test the strongest of nerves.
Knowing when to change gear will be crucial; how high to climb in the cool mountain air, before daring to venture out into the flats.
The Family Flying Dynasties are going to be out in force for this event! We will be scoring 3 father and son teams; the Gins, the Janaways and the Vostis!
With the age range spanning from 17 to 72 years old, we will also be scoring the four oldest pilots against the four youngest. The Young Ones ran off with first place in Poggio. Can the Dads fly off with the prize this time?
As Europe goes into melt down, the Italian plains are reaching temperatures of nearly 40 degrees. All bets are on that the Commentary team's Prosecco ice-cream will melt faster than ever before!
