A lot of schools around the world have been waiting for it and now the new Bolero III is ready! Instructors all over the world have been using the Bolero series to teach their students for many years and have had great success. Not only is it a great first glider but also one that they recommend to pilots that want to discover Cross Country flying after they have finished their basic instruction.

easy, progressive, predictable

At Gin Gliders, an entry level model is very complex to design and it is a very lengthy research and development process to achieve the principle design objectives. We want pilots discovering paragliding to have a glider which is easy to fly, comfortable and of course, extremely safe.

easy to fly!
With these goals in mind, our designers (Gin and Robert) wanted a progressive and predictable glider. Progressive - in all parts of the flight. Inflations that are smooth and even. In flight roll and pitch are progressive and relative to conditions. In fact pitch is very slight and the flight is very smooth. Landing, the student will not need to give much control as the smooth and stable flight will end in a beautiful flare and landing.

extremely safe!
Predictability is a very important feature for any wing but especially a beginner wing. The pressure in the risers gives instant positive feedback on the position of the wing. In turns, the pilot will never be nervous as the wing will react instantly to pilot input but not excessively. The wing feels in-tune to the air around it and it is easy to find the next thermal. The brake travel is long and the pressure will rise progressively as the pilot increases input.
