SpeedFly Junkies shop coming soon!

News, Updates

It has been noticed that many paraglider traders sell speed wings when they are not active speed flyers. Speedfly Junkies is a strong believer that you must have experience on the products you are selling and only sell to suitable pilots. This has been the philosophy behind BASE jumping and I feel in this high risk sport of Speed flying we should do the same. This is simply good ethics. Each wing has its own behavior and application depending on what you want to do with it, your skill level and your weight. You wont know all this if you have not flown the wing. For this reason a dedicated speed flying shop will be opened on this site very soon. Available will be speed wings, wings for high wind soaring, speed flying harnesses and speed flying t-shirts. The aim is to ensure pilots get what they want but more importantly what they need.

Speedfly Junkies is the oldest established speedfly dedicated website and has been established since mid 2007. In that time we have amassed 100’s of launches on 10’s of wings ranging in size from 10m2 upwards. We have flown speedwings low and fast in many locations ranging from South Wales, the Lake District and Alps,  in conditions from ideal (0mph) right up to the absurd (40mph) so you don’t have to! If we cant advise you on what wing is best for you, who can?

In the mean time if you have any questions about speed flying simply email into the site where you will be given frank advice. Don’t be offended if the advice is to “forget about speed flying as its not for you”, this has been the case in the past. Your safety is more important than any sale!
