The early days in the sport are for every pilot in many ways the most important. This is why we dedicated so much time to developing a new better beginner glider incorporating all the paraglider design technology available today.

The Gecko has passed the new stringent CEN tests, the strictest level of certification currently in existence (23A,1B).

Kiss

Low End DHV 1-2

The Kiss is a secure step in to the intermediate class of Paraglider. Aimed at recreational pilots who want maximum security and comfort in the DHV 1-2 class, this glider is designed to make soaring stress free and effortless.

An ideal wing for pilots to gain their early cross country experience on, or experienced intermediate pilots who simply want stability and peace of mind in their flights.

Sport 4

High End DHV 1-2

When designing the new Sport4 we started by asking Sport1,2,and 3 pilots what they needed most in the glider. Was it better glide or more speed or more safety or stability. By far what people appreciated in the Sport3 above all was the ‘easily accessible performance’. Already with the Sport3’s ‘auto thermalling’ handling we were on the right track.

This gave pilots the ability to get a good sink rate out of the glider without working too hard and we have further developed this idea on the Sport4. This idea of easily accessible performance with an emphasis on sink rate is what we have worked most on in the design of the Sport4.

DHV 2

Mustang - Designed for adventure

Airwave wanted to design a glider that was long lasting, rugged, yet lightweight. They also wanted very good glide performance and an excellent sink rate so as to be able to perform well enough to fly out of inhospitable terrain. This is actually a safety feature that is rarely discussed!

All this gives the Mustang the kind of agility that makes the wing a pure pleasure to fly.

Magic 4

DHV 2-3

On 21st dec 2005 paragliding history was made. The first true 3 line paraglider was certified with the DHV. At Airwave we have been working on three line gliders for 5 years ever since Bruce achieved an impressive performance flying a three liner in the PWC in Mexico in 2001, but it is really only in the last 2 years that the three liners have began to dominate the world competition scene.

Perhaps the most significant date in the history of 3 liners was October 2004 when 1st, 2nd and 3rd places at the European Championships in Greece all went to 3 line gliders.

Magic FR3

Load Tested

Airwave's top of the range competition paraglider.

Airwave is at the cutting edge of competition glider design, and the last 18 months have seen a huge step forward in paraglider design making the FR2 is a radically different glider from the original Magic FR.

It represents the culmination of hundreds of hours of intensive flying and testing both in and outside competitions. The development of competition gliders over the last year has been huge and the FR is one of the very few of the new generation of competition gliders that is available for the general public to buy off the shelf.

Burn

Load Tested

Slingshot
Load Tested

The SLINGSHOT is Airwaves latest acro wing following on from the successful BURN, BURN Extreme acro wings.

This new acro wing is the most energetic and dynamic glider we have ever designed but still remains safe and stays open when other Acro gliders would be collapsing ­ it is also the perfect step up from the BURN.
