Mark Morgan with Viper 4 wins Icarus X Race, UK
Mark sent this report:
On the weekend of July 22nd, the Adventurist team held the UK’s first ever Icarus X Race. The Event was held in Buckland Newton, Dorset, and was billed to be the toughest paramotor race ever held in the UK over two days. This was the third X race in the series after the USA and Australia races.
The race start was delayed by heavy fog until midday and I was the second pilot to depart the Icarus X race base camp some 45 minutes behind Jamie Goodridge. My Plan was to fly slow and steady for the 255km course, even though I was flying on a slow trim setting, only trimming out when heavy sink hit in the increasingly thermic conditions, flying into a westerly headwind, I managed to pass Jamie on his Dudek Snake before the first turn point.
Just before the first turn point I could now see a sea breeze convergence setting up on the south coast around Exeter and from a phone call I knew other pilots were closing in FAST. TP 1 to TP2 was really a non-event, flying easily through some very nice thermals. Every time I hit a good thermal I had …read more

The ZENO is ready to order
The all new Zeno, in ML size, is now available to order.
The Zeno represents the cutting edge of OZONE paraglider R&D. This highly advanced design bridges the gap between the Enzo and Mantra series, providing an option for expert pilots who are ready to move up from the Mantra M6 and other wings in its class to a true 2-liner. The Zeno gains from the pedigree of both classic wings, resulting in a glider that sits well in both worlds. With an aspect of 6.9, its performance is amazingly similar to the Enzo 2, but comfort and behaviour are closer to an M6.
We are very excited to release the Zeno and look forward to hearing your experiences. Cheers from all the team!
