Details: From the inventors of the patented crossbraced canopy, once again we’re raising the bar in high performance canopy piloting. We’ve come a long way since the Excalibur of 1989 to bring you the Competition Velocity. This time we’ve designed a canopy purely for the competitive swooper. Will you be looking up at the podium, or standing on it? In the exciting discipline of Canopy Piloting, a fraction of a second or an extra meter can make the difference between being a hero… or a zero. Technique, Determination, Practice, Persistence, and Talent are essential. What else makes the vital difference? The relentless power of the Competition Velocity. The podium is right there… Will you be on it?
