Gemeinsam mit den Sarntalern Thermikhaien und deren Präsident Martin Obkircher organisierte ich zum mittlerweile fünften Mal die NOVA Hike & Fly Days – dieses Jahr im Sarntal. „Wo ist denn das?“ Das war die Standardfrage, die ich fast jedesmal zu hören bekam, wenn ich nach…

Can you make the world a better place by flying paragliders? Well, that is the question I have asked myself many times lately. Sometimes packing the wing and taking a weekend or a whole week away from the loved ones can be a tough call….
Despite the fact that I have decided a while ago to step back from competitions and do more own projects, I could not resist to participate NOVA’s first XC Team Challenge as one of the team leaders. Reaching one goal as a team is something…
A race to set your own waypoint as far as you can! The NOVA Bordairrace is a 33 h hike & fly competition series. The first one in 2018 took place at Kampenwand near lake Chiemsee in Bavaria. The weather forecast was very good for…
