I flew a bit in delta wing in 1984 (10 flights, 2 crashes, one of which was in a corn field!), then I quickly moved to paragliding which had just really started with Laurent de Kalbermatten’s AILES DE K. I collaborated with him many years later with his beautiful WOOPY project (construction of prototypes and manufacturing).
From my first trip to Japan in 1988, I test prototypes and make adjustments for the manufacturer FALHAWK…
I created an after-sales service workshop (maintenance and repair) with Gérard Cantin.
Then I compete in Japan, South Africa and Europe…
Then I started designing, especially with the Falhawk Aruba!
And I continue to do tuning for FALHAWK, EDEL, FUN2FLY…
I worked with SUPAIR and Pierre Bouilloux for 30 years. For several years, I was part of the harness development team.
I took part in the meetings of the ACPUL, the organisation that set up the paraglider certification standards, as a representative of the FALHAWK brand, which was very important in the early years of paragliding. At that time I was in contact with and particularly appreciated André Rose, Heniu Dyduch, Xavier Demaury…
