Please send us (a) picture(s) of the damage on your glider and we will give you an approximate estimate.
When shipping your paraglider, you can fold it tight and attach it with its belt or a thick rope. You do not need to send your glider with your stuff bag unless you want it to be repaired. This way, you are saving in volume and weight.
Please, place a note in the box with your name, address, phone number(s) and e-mail address with description of the work you want to be done on your glider: inspection, repair (what & where), or both. If your glider is damaged, please give a description, including the emplacement of the damages, unless you want a post incident canopy and/or lines inspection with the repair.
We will call you to let you know that we have received your wing
