Well look at this! My book "Advanced Paragliding" is now out in Spanish! Esta listo en espanol!! Huge thanks to Pedro Chapa for the great translation and this wonderful message:

The Spanish edition of Advanced Paragliding is already printed and about to start being distributed, and Mario Arqué, the editor, and myself wanted to express you our gratitude for having written such an awesome book. I have had such a great time translating it that I’d wished it had as many pages as an unabridged version of The Lord of the Rings instead of just 254! :-)

Alas, I hope that the title of Advanced Paragliding will not dissuade any new pilot to read it, as the amount of wise advice given in every one of its chapters is just invaluable. Wise Paragliding would have been also a perfectly fitting title for the book.

During the translation, I cannot count the amount of times I’ve thought that, had the 27 year old son of one of my former hang gliding buddies read your book and heed the guidance that its pages contain, instead of being too eager to pass to a more advanced wing when he was clearly not yet ready for it, he’d be still here with us. Sadly, he thought he was the pilot he wanted to be, instead of admitting the pilot he actually was, and his luck jar got empty all at once. The obnoxious ego does not rest a single moment, does it?

Please, give us your postal address so we can send you straightaway a copy of the Spanish edition.

Well Gavin, congrats again for such a useful quiver of tips and good judgment. It goes without saying that if you ever come to Spain, you’ll be more than welcome. We are sure that many pilots here will be eager to meet you after reading your book in Spanish.

Happy landings and keep on with that inspiring Cloudbase Mayhem podcast!

Is this the future of our gliders? A wavy leading edge?

This is what the Boomerang12 looks like with wavy attack edge in the fins of humpback whales and is now available in the market, notice how the water waves seemed to simulate the air flows seen in the wind tunnel.

The profile is coated with Dominico 30D MF (WR) 41g/m2 of grammage on the edge of the attack, the rest of the rope over the extremes is Porcher Sport Skytex 32g/m2 / 27g/m2 while the inputs are composed only of Porcher Sport skyte x 27g/m2.

The boomerang12 with regard to the previous version (boomerang11) has 36 cm less of extension (7,55) and 4 drawers less (105 in total), this reduction of extension and internal structure means a significant improvement in stability which now promises to be effective at all speed range.

The candle weight varies from 5.7 kg in S size and 6.3 kg in L size, the ptv varies from 80 kg min in S size while in size L it covers up to 127 kg max.

If you ever spent time with me you will know I preach that complacency has no place in flying. Here is my good friend JB telling it from experience!!!

Great day at El Bosque as usual. Pilot landed and said he wanted to hug me, he want to laugh and cry at the same time….that sunset flying at el bosque does something magical to us.

Here is a landing on the day time flight…Not quite but almost there.
