You love mountains, snow and speed. You would like to combine skiing with paragliding, thus extending your free-ride joy with shorter or longer hops on the way down hill. You like improving your ground-handling too. Dudek have  got a wing for you then. Whether you are a speedriding expert or a novice, you will find what suits you best among three sizes available. It's for you that Dudek created the ZigZag 2.

ZigZag2 is a free-riding or speed-riding canopy, depending on its size it can be used both by the professionals and amateurs. It was designed and tested by Jean Baptiste-Chandelier, an expert on this kind of paragliders. Final shape and design were refined at Dudek Paragliders.

Main features of the ZigZag2: steep diving capability, allowing to ride steep slopes long steering paths four-way risers with trims exceptionally robust design Canopy size selection regarding pilot's skills:

  • 9m2: EXPERT - for very advanced speedriders, able to cope with technical aspects of fast descent. May prove dangerous for less experienced pilots. Dynamic reactions possible.
  • 11m2: INTERMEDIATE - for medium-experienced speedriders, seeking a small and agile wing with a lot of fun.
  • 13m2 : BEGINNER - for novices, on the easy side (smooth banking, steadier steering)
