Parasol – Paragliding World Championship France 1991

The skies over southern France – the stage for the second, groundbreaking Paragliding World Championship.

Even the opening show set new standards.

Pilots from around the world competed in the legendary thermals of Digne-les-Bains, Moustiers, and above the gorges of the Verdon for the world title. Among them: Robbie Whittall, Andy Hediger, Ernst Strobl, and Uli Wiesmeier – names that made history.

Parasol captures the atmosphere of these early competition years, explains the demanding tasks, and reveals the pioneering spirit, rivalry, and fascination of free flight.

Running time: 50 minutes.
