Skywalk SPIRIT
The Skywalk SPIRIT is a lightweight, dual-surface miniwing offering the same playful energy as the beloved TONIC, but in a slimmed-down package optimized for mountain adventures. Regarded as one of the friendlier and more approachable miniwings on the market, the SPIRIT has proven to be an enjoyable and reliable first glider for countless pilots and remains in the mountain-flying quivers of many. The use of Dominico 10D fabric for both the top and bottom surfaces saves weight and facilitates the SPIRIT's impressive minimal packing volume, even in larger sizes. The lightweight fabric also aids in the rapid inflation characteristics, allowing the wing to rise overhead and generate lift sooner than comparable full-weight fabrics, a feature that is readily appreciated on short or technical launch sites. Embracing the spirit of mountain flying, the Skywalk SPIRIT is your lively and reliable partner.
- The SPIRIT has served as a dependable first wing for many mountain-flying adventurers.
- Skywalk's proprietary 'jet flaps' reduce the stall speed, increasing your safety margins.
- Loop & hook system for affixing the wing to the ground when setting up in stronger wing.
- Automatic Sand Release in the wingtips helps get rid of unwanted passengers.
- Lightweight fabric facilitates minimal packing volume and easy inflations.
