Gin Speed Glider "Nano"

Tear up the skies with the new hang gliding sport of speedgliding , also called speedriding or speedflying .

Speedflying or speedriding is a new winter sport created by paraglider pilots and skydivers looking for a new sensation and to create a link between gliding by ski and gliding through the air.

Gin Gliders decided early on to be the first brand to create a wing specially designed for speedflying. That wing is ready, we call it: Nano

Nano is a glider specifically adapted to the practice of this new sport. Simple and easy to use, Nano is available in 4 sizes: 10m2, 12m2, 13m2 and 14m2. Pick your size according to weight and more importantly experience. The smaller the glider the faster you go. The 13m2 and 14m2 are for light or heavy beginners and intermediates. The 12m2 needs to be flown by very experienced pilots with a very good and precise level of control. The 10m2 is dedicated to the best expert pilots only, and is currently only available for the GIN team speedflying pilots.
