Product description
What are dreamed features of your first wing? Easy to launch and land, very safe, and to pardon the pilot's mistakes. It provides intuitive handling and a great prospect to develop ever-growing piloting skills.
GAIA 3 stands for all that and still offers a bit more. It lets you go for long thermal flights and discover the adventure of cross-country flying. It is an excellent wing to master accurate landing or practise some of the most subtle and finest acro manoeuvres, such as a helicopter.
GAIA 3 is the classical concept of the 4-liner. The four-line design remains a traditional design strategy for several types of gliders, including freestyle and acro wings. It delivers pilots with the optimized distribution of lines on the bottom surface. It provides consistency and safety, resulting in a very smooth pilot experience.
GAIA 3 is reinforced with extended rods, making inflation and take-off easier and more easygoing. The cleaner leading edge improves the glide and headwind penetration performance, whether at trim speed or with the speed system applied. It also caters for improved durability throughout the lifespan of the glider.
Target group:• Pilots wishing to discover the joy of paragliding with maximum safety.
• Leisure pilots who enjoy flying in a calm state of mind.
• All pilots looking for a versatile wing, as suitable for long thermal flights as for accuracy landing, fine freestyle or paramotoring.
Main features:• High passive safety
• Effortless inflation and take off
• Well-balanced handling
• Predictable and forgiving behaviour

• 3D cut with laser technology

R&D team comments
Artoosh Ghafourian
Paragliding life is a long journey that you will start now. You already know you will always follow the sky, and this new journey needs good and reliable equipment.
GAIA 3 is designed to help you to learn new skills and grow from novice pilot to pilot.
GAIA 3 is designed like SWISS TOOLS; it's not a super dump glider only for the very beginning - it's a glider that pilots take for Accuracy World Cup.
On Accuracy landing, pilots need a glider that can slow down and stay smooth for a precise landing. Which is an excellent feature for new coming pilots.
GAIA 3 is a design for new pilots. We classify it as a low A glider that is very stable on pitch and roll movement and invites novice pilots to master and core their first thermals.
