A Light canopy is even easier to inflate than the Standard version. It takes less headwind (or speed of travel) for the Light paraglider to land on its head.
It is an advantage that counts above all
● on difficult take-off areas
● if one is not very mobile or skilful…
An old friend of mine often says: “I don’t want to be ‘bugged’ anymore. This inelegant phrase describes the reality:
Why expose yourself to take-off difficulties with a standard wing, when everything is better with a LIGHT version ?
In addition, the backpack is much more compact and lighter.
So why “break” your back with standard equipment ?
