Maximilian Lorenz.
I've been flying since...
2011.
Paragliding means for me...
to experience the landscape and nature so intensively, as in no other sport and the fulfillment of my childhood dream.
My favorite flying area is...
every launch site that can only be reached by hiking and the Tauchersreuth practice slope, which I still really enjoy for ground handling and playing in strong winds.
My most beautiful flying moments/highlights were...
soaring on the coast of Lima in Peru and the morning flight from the main ridge of the Alps to the southern side of the Alps during a Vol-Biv crossing of the Alps.
My personal greatest successes are...
to have made several Vol-Biv tours through the Alps and made many good friends through paragliding.
I fly UP paragliders because...
they simply have the best handling in my opinion.
Currently, the models I fly...
Kangri
What I particularly like about the glider is...
the high speed, low weight, fine handling and safety that the Kangri offers, especially in rough conditions.
