Top Gun Flight School

At iParaglide Top Gun Flight School, we take pride in having taught over 1900 paragliding students in our 26 years of operation.

We are the the longest running school based in Metro Vancouver. Due to our central location, we are the only school that flies all of the relevant kiting parks, training hills and mountains within a 3 hour radius of Vancouver.  This empowers pilots to get to know the key training and flying spots early, optimizes and accelerates learning, and allows them to grow into great future pilots.  

We have the reputation of being an industry leader with an emphasis on engineered safety systems, quality instruction, the finest equipment and a positive learning environment for fun and empowering flying.

We offer the highest level of accreditation, with Senior HPAC and Advanced USHPA paragliding instructors, who coach from first flight to expert paraglider pilots and teach and qualify new paragliding instructors.

1) Swing Brave 3 Bikini Modular Harness

BRAVE 3 – Keep Riding!

The Brave 3 is a comfortable and lightweight reversible micro harness. It offers optimum mobility for Speedriding with Skis. At the same time it is also perfectly suitable for your Hike & Fly projects, Vol Bivouac Adventures and for light and compact paragliding. This versatility is achieved through easily installed additional modules, like a LTF-certified airbag-set, speed system-set and reserve parachute-set front container with a very light reserve parachute.

The materials used for the Brave 3 are high-quality and robust and carefully chosen to guarantee high durability and light weight. This way Swing could lower the weight of the harness by another 100gr compared to its predecessor. Also the backpack has been optimized and offers sufficient space also for standard paragliders, if packed right. The backpack volume is nicely compressible and the back part has been reworked for optimum carrying comfort, also for long tours. Both in backpack mode and flying mode, the harness is prepared for popular hydration systems.

 

 

 

The backpack offers attachment options for skis & poles and a large pocket for all your additional gear. In flying mode you will find a pocket under your right leg for the Speedriding Speedbag or other gear and an additional big pocket on your back.

There is no doubt: This reversible harness is perfect not only for Speedriding but also for your Hike & Fly projects, Vol Bivouac Adventures and for light & compact paragliding.
