Séverine Deutsch

Country : France

I’m flying since my early days. My father, a paramotorist, introduced me to it when I was a little girl!
After I started learning paragliding, I finally acquired my paramotor licence in 2018.
Quickly I developed a taste for classic competition and integrated in 2022 the french training group.
I’m currently flying with a APCO Force 2 with my girly ICE colour. »

Marlon Jonat
Germany

Marlon is a passionate paragliding pilot. He loves the adventure and the freedom to glide through the air with the wind and the thermals, regardless of whether it is cross-country, acro or powered paragliding. His videos inspire the audience and with his sympathetic nature, he gives them the feeling as if they were part of the adventure.

Ugo Damati

In his 30th year of paragliding, and still has fun like a fool 🙂
When possible, it’s always flying… otherwise kite, telemark, or slack-line. Lives in Ancona where his home site is; the “Conero” that he loves so much.
He is always available for all flying friends for technical info and more.
