You're cruising... wind whistling in your face. Out in front and gliding to goal. Your wing feels so smooth; it's like a part of you. This is the moment...


A wing created from experience...

This new competition wing results from an important collaboration between two of the leading designers in paragliding.
Since last summer, Gin Seok Song and Robert Graham have pooled their knowledge, ideas and over 40 years combined design experience into the creation of our new competition glider, the jewel of our brand: the Boomerang.

A wing trimmed and tested by experienced competition pilots...

Well respected and proven pilots tested and trimmed the Boomerang 4:

bulletOne World Champion and World Cup Overall winner (Housi Bollinger - CH)
bulletOne double World Cup Overall winner (Jimmy Pacher - CH)
bulletOne of the most experienced World Cup pilots (Kaoru Ogisawa - J)
bulletWinner of the last World Cup in Mexico '04 (Stephan Wyss - CH)
bulletWorld Cup Winning Team members (Norman Lausch - G, Mathias Roten - CH)

These successful pilots know what makes a glider work for them, they know what's needed for that important glider advantage and they have fine tuned these attributes and characteristics into the latest version of GIN's Boomerang.

Completely new wing.

Designed by Gin Seok Song in cooperation with Robert Graham and Jungmok Park the wing is built with a new shape,
an aspect ratio close to 7 (6.86 exactly) and new profiles.
15 prototypes were necessary to find the perfect balance of best performance, solid stability, efficient handling and a flyable top speed. The result is a high performance wing with good feeling and the GIN spirit.

U.V. Protection Line Technology...

In partnership with Edelrid and Aerosport a new exclusive competition line was developed. This line is coated with an agent, that protects it against the UV-rays from the sun. The new line will last longer, but must be checked for strength every 100 hours like every other unsheathed Aramid competition line. The new line is colored which makes it much nicer for ground handling and sorting.
