PWC SUPERFINAL 2018
Published on:

The 10th Paragliding World Cup Super Final will take place in Baixo Guandu, Brazil from the 19th to the 30th of March 2019.
Baixo Guandu is a favourite destination for the Paragliding World Cup, with its stunning black granite dome mountains and testing tasks in the land of record-breaking skies.
This will be the World Cup’s fourth visit to Baixo Guandu (previous comps were in 2013, 2015, 2018). The World Cup has also been to nearby Castelo four times which has very similar topography (2006, 2008, 2012 and 2016). Proof, if it were needed, that the state of Espírito Santo, in south-eastern Brazil, with its Jurassic Park landscape, monster bamboo and pilot high grass, is a Paragliding mecca. It also means that there are a lot of pilots in this 10th celebratory Super Final who are very experienced in flying these unusual monolithic black blocks.
On the World Cup website PWCA.org, you can now see preview pilot profiles of the high flyers from 2018, who will be taking part in the Super Final.
The pilot quality in this Super Final is going to be amazing. 6 out of the 8 previous overall Super Final winners will be taking part.
Eight World/European champions will be taking part, six men and two ladies. 29 pilots taking part in this Super Final have already won a World Cup event (20 men and 9 ladies), and 48 competing pilots have already won a World Cup task!
The standard doesn’t get any higher than that!
Keep up with team OZONE, Honorin Hamard, Russell Ogden, Charles Cazaux and Méryl Delferriere, along with all the pilots taking part, on the PWCA app. Read the live Commentary, and follow your favourite pilots on the tracking to see who the high flyers in this amazing competition will be.
