Hello,
My name is Tunico, from Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.
I would be very happy to get opinions from experienced riders.
I'm studying the sport of SpeedFlying and trying to make sense of all the options.
I already found out that getting instruction on my location is not a problem as there are several people practicing in the mountains of Rio.
But getting gear is not that simple and for many reasons I'm limited with these 2 options:
Ozone or Gin
In their websites the wings labeled "beginner" are the Firefly and the Yak.
The Firefly is limited to one size, 16m
The Yak I could get in 18m , since I'm 90kg naked
A bit about me and what I want from this sport...
52 years
90 kilos
10 years skydiving (lots of CRW)
5 years paragliding
15 years kitesurfing (all kinds of kites, last 5 years Flysurfer foil kites)
And my current flying mania is Paramotoring and I have been practicing for 2 years.
I expect to do a lot of mountain treking and flying down.
Not interested in death-defying terrain hugging, at least not in the beginning.
I may change my intentions later!
Thanks for any information!
