Collection

Best practices

How often should I service my paraglider?

In line with manufacturer recommendations, the frequency depends on the condition of the wing and how intensively it is used. In the Alpes-Maritimes, an annual service is recommended (250+ flyable days, intense UV, rocky terrain).

Condition of the wing Frequency
Very good conditionRecent wing, few hours 2 years / 150 hours
Good condition 2 years / 100 hours
Acceptable Annual / 50 hours
WornOld wing, visible wear 3 months / 25 hours

Why have it serviced?

A wing that is not serviced exposes you to tears in flight, asymmetric collapses, line failure, unpredictable behaviour and loss of performance.

The benefits

Early detection of defects, preserved geometry and performance, a longer lifespan and better resale value.

Service life

Nylon fabric: 400 to 800 hours. Lines: 600 to 1,000 hours. Servicing lets you follow the actual wear.

After an incident

Have it serviced immediately after an accident, an impact or a hard landing, even if the wing looks intact.

Un superbe baptême de parapente en tandem avec ma sœur, chacune accompagnée d’un pilote. Sympas et détendus, Pierrot et Pierre-Yves nous ont tout de suite mises en confiance : aucune appréhension. Nous avons été agréablement surprises par la douceur du décollage et de l’atterrissage. Et entre les deux, des paysages magnifiques ! J’ai même pu prendre les commandes et diriger le parapente pendant quelques minutes… un vrai régal. Deux pilotes très professionnels, que nous recommandons sans hésiter pour un premier vol.

Best day out, we did paragliding and then the canyoning. Great value for money and our instruction was excellent we always felt very safe. I have done canyoning in a few countries and this was the best I have done by far. It was a beautiful gorge and had the clearest water. We would book again if we ever came back to the area for sure!
