The European Paragliding Championship 2016 in Krushevo, Macedonia has come to an end.

The event saw great conditions that allowed the pilots 9 days of racing! The Enzo 2 featured strongly in this competition taking the top ten and all the podium places.

In the end, our own Honorin Hamard of the OZONE R&D Team, current World Champion, and holder of 5 World records, took first overall. Hono continues his amazing and consistent path at the top of our sport. He now holds the European and the World Championship titles.

In Hono’s words:

“I am very satisfied to be the European Champion, we could believe that it is less good than World Champion last year, but not, it is also difficult to obtain it, seen the current level of all pilots.I am proud to obtain it after these amazing tasks, and a strong French team, fighting for all points and helping me in the various phases of the flight.Conditions of flight were very good. A panel of situations very varied with not a lot of top base at the beginning, to finish with strong conditions +7m/s in the flatland, so good. It was the place to be.
Thanks to OZONE for these beautiful …read more
