    Amongst Volcanoes and bananatrees…

    We are now in the beautiful island of LaPalma for the Desafio Open, Spanish League and Pre PWC. The organisaton was kind enough to offer us a free 4-star hotel just next to the landing. A big thank you! So far they have also proven to be very proffessional. Today we had a nice training [...]

    So I try again to have the internet working so I can write this blog and upload some pictures. Unbelievable that the organiser still after 9 days have not fixed the slow internet…

    Last week I had the first flights with my new special color Magnum tandemwing. It looks almost like the standard colors for some of the other new Ozone wings, but I think it’s the only tandemwing with those colors. Anyhow I thin it looks very nice! At the moment the weather is bad so not [...]
