You've surely seen them skimming the sand or flying over the crests of our cliffs whenever the wind picks up on the Normandy coast. Parakite and dynamic soaring are experiencing phenomenal success, driven by a brand that is revolutionizing aerial gliding: Flare. But before investing, the ideal is to be able to compare and test these new-generation wings on our local spots.

Good news for Norman pilots: our school Parapente Mania, based in Clécy in the heart of Suisse Normande, houses the largest Flare test and demonstration park in all of Normandy.

The Flare range in the spotlight for Normans

No need to order blindly. Whether you are based in Caen, Rouen, Le Havre, or Cherbourg, our German brand test stock awaits you less than two hours from your home:

The Flare Moustache 2: The undisputed queen of parakite and seaside soaring. Come test its ultra-precise dynamic trim system in sizes 15, 18, and 22.
The Flare Bandit: More accessible, super playful, and perfect for freeriding in strong winds, available for trial in sizes 16 and 19.
Flare harnesses: To pilot these wings in perfect symbiosis, we provide you with the dedicated harnesses Flare Contour and Proxy M.

Our test center also offers the Niviuk Jester (16 and 18), Windtech Dune 18 models, as well as the ultra-light Niviuk Kooper P harness to complete your test panel.

Your test sessions on weekends and all summer long on the coast

While our technical base and offices are located in Clécy, parakite requires a regular flow of sea wind. This is why our demonstration sessions take place exclusively on the seaside sites where the Parapente Mania team travels (such as the northern coast of Calvados or the Manche).

We organize these test sessions every weekend of the year and continuously during the summer holidays, whenever the wind is strong and steady enough.

Never miss a single wind window again! Join our WhatsApp group "Parakite Tests Normandy" to receive the spot of the day and book your Flare wing.
