The Vapor is here!

The Vapor is our first parakite wing released to the public.

Back in the early 2000s, while developing a range of snowkites, we came up with the idea of fitting a bridle system so a depower solution could work with foil kites.

Fast forward to 2009: Rob Whittall tried the bridle on a paraglider, calling it a ‘significant design breakthrough’. Later on, we introduced Black Sheep Technology (BST): the perfect blend of advanced computer engineering, testing, and flying skills. Crazy minds with unlimited ideas, taking deliberate off-track paths to bring a groundbreaking (r)evolution to paragliding history.

A lot has happened since: pilots, riders, designers, and engineers have run endless experiments, and an exciting new sport was born.
