While the PWC crew was gearing up in Brazil, Wayne Seeley & friends were chasing the first XC window of the year in the UK.
Wayne reports:
“The UK season finally kicked off. On March 24th, the forecast was good with a 1500m base predicted and a nice NW wind . A few of us launched our Zenos from Selsley common in the Cotswolds, Tom Cole and Ollie Clothier both made 100+km flights and me and Graham Steel made our declared goal of 155km finally landing at 162k after 5 hrs. A great start to the year!!!”

The 2018 SuperFinal held in the jurassic landscape of Baixo Guandu, Brazil has come to an end.
The last day of competition was another day of sunshine and strong thermals. A 99km task took the pilots on a triangle through the region.
A mere seven points separated the first two pilots after 8 tasks, and there were 172 points between the top ten. It was a day for staying in the gaggle. It was a fast race at full speed between thermals, all the way round.
In the end was French Pilot and current World Champion Pierre REMY who took the win followed by his compatriot Julien Wirtz. In third place was our own R&D team member, Russell Ogden, who added another podium to his impressive career in XC Competition.
In the women’s category, it was OZONE team pilot Meryl Delferriere, from France, who took the win and finished seventh overall. In second place was Yael Margelisch(CHE) followed by Kari Ellis (AUS) in third. All winners flew Enzo 3s, with 8 out of the top 10 overall on OZONE.
