Hi there, I started to fly Mac Para gliders in 1997 when I was full motivated about acro. I won the first Red Bull Vertigo with the MAC PARA - Heaven.
I returned back to MAC PARA in 2005 with the objective to progress in distance and was able to climb the highest step of the podiums of major XC competitions.
By supporting me and giving me the best gliders MAC PARA helped me to realise my objectives : 2nd overall Worldcup 2006 and European Champion in 2008.
