1. Gin Gliders
Gin Gliders was formed in 1998 by paraglider designer and competition pilot Gin Seok Song and
his team of engineers and test pilots.
Gin’s philosophy is simple: to design paragliding equipment that he and a ny other pilot love to
fly. This philosophy applies equally for a harness such as the Safari Passenger, as for the
renowned competition glider, the Boomerang. No product is released to the market without
Gin’s complete satisfaction. Gin Gliders produce a complete range of accessories and can
provide you with many useful items for flying which are all manufactured in Gin Gliders own
production facility to guarantee highest quality standards.
Gin has over 20 years’ experience of designing and manufacturing paragliders and is backed up
by an equally experienced team, both within the company in Korea and throughout a worldwide
network of distributors and dealers. The “GIN Team” has won the Paragliding World Cup overall
several times and has had countless other competition successes in World Cups, World and
National Championships. This high level of expertise provided by dedicated professionals
ensures that you get the best possible product support and after sales service.
