Paragliding is one of the easiest ways for you to start flying. It’s the biggest wing out of these three. It allows you to take off from almost anywhere and then you can just slowly enjoy panoramic flight back down to the valley. Or use thermals and wind and fly far away. Theres is a lot of different paragliding niches - xc paragliding (cross country paragliding), acro paragliding, soaring, hike and fly and so on….

Completely opposite from paragliding is speed flying. And for that we’ll pick up the smallest wing. These are made for super fast usually close to the ground proximity flying. There are different sizes and models available giving you slightly different flying possibilities, but all are very reactive, sensitive on inputs and much faster than paragliding wings. For speed flying you also have to be more picky about take off sites. Well as you can see…Usually you need little more space and steepness. I have to mention you have to master paragliding and downsize slowly before you jump into speed flying!

If you want little of that paragliding but still a little more speed and dynamics? Well lucky you, there is mini wing for all that fun! Mini wings in sizes are smaller than paragliding wings but bigger than speed wings. So something in between. So you wont be able to fly as efficient as with paraglider but you can still enjoy local thermals and soaring sessions and you can open your speed/trim system and get some pretty close feelings to speed flying. Take off is very similar to paragliding wing.

So speedflying is the fastest and the most "racing" options of "parapente" flying while paragliding offers you quiet a few options, from slow xc paragliding to acro flying. And mini wings will give you whole new level of flying.

While you can take off with your paraglider on super tricky launches you will have to be more picky and careful with speedflying wings! If you go out with miniwing - in most cases you can take off and launch from all paragliding sites!
