Flying a 2-liner EN-D Paraglider - BANDARRA

One of our friends has a Niviuk Icepeak 6 and was kind enough to let me have a go. It is a 2012, 2 liner EN-D Wing so a cross country/competition wing with very high pilot demands, but since it was a nice day at the beach I thought it was ok to try out.

Unfortunately there wasn't a lot of wind to try out the wing properly and I spent the full time I was in the air trying desperately not to land.

Most apparent things are how heavy and reinforced the leading edge is, the span-wise movement and how much the wing "talks" in flight.

All in all I really wish I could fly it some more :)
