Prize draw:
Paraglider Ozone Ultralite 4
(https://flyozone.com/paragliders/en/products/gliders/ultralite-4/info/)
The winner of the prize draw for an Ozone Ultralite 4, size 21, held on the 31st of December at 21h28, was Grégory Bernard, from Poitiers. Well done Grégory and commiserations to all the others. However, if it’s any consolation, we will be organising more competitions in the future. Gregory, who has just received his prize, has been flying for thirteen years. He is a field technician who flies both in the north of France and in the Pyrenees. The Ultralite 4 is very appropriate for him because he is just getting into Hike&Fly.
