Ondanks de hitte, toch elke mogelijkheid bestuderen en gebruiken om te leren.

Magic Revin.

Vliegen met vrienden en nadien met een natje en droogje analyse van de vlucht.
Meer moet dat echt niet zijn.

Report: Testival at Wasserkuppe 2026
Here, flying in the Rhön is beautifully combined with the opportunity to test the latest UP paragliders.

Approximately 200 pilots attended the event from May 2-3, 2026. Our MANA 2 (EN/LTF A, Light), MAKALU 5 (EN/LTF B), LHOTSE X (EN/LTF B, Light, 2.5-liner), and TORRE (EN/LTF C, 2-liner) were especially of interest. We’re thrilled by all the positive feedback and we're particularly pleased, that pilots who were initially skeptical about whether the LHOTSE X, as a 2.5-liner, was right for them, praised the glider after trying it out. The initial “reluctance” toward the hybrid design gave way to an appreciation of its advantages: less drag, better performance, etc. It was a bit too windy for flying at times this weekend, which is why there was also a lot of groundhandling. The expansive and relatively flat slopes of the Wasserkuppe are ideal for this. The organizer has posted a video of the event - the interview with UP starts at the 3-minute mark.

What makes this Testival so special?

The Wasserkuppe airfield is a historic site (the cradle of gliding in Germany)
Access by car is possible
Food and lodging available directly on the Wasserkuppe
If you missed this year’s Testival, you can already mark your calendars for May 8-9, 2027.

In test bij S7S!

TORRE out and about worldwide

The UP TORRE is being hailed by pilots and distributors worldwide as a game-changer in the EN-C category, combining high-speed performance with the reassuring comfort typically found in a relaxed EN-B wing. Testers highlight its effortless rear-riser steering, exceptional turning precision across various harness types, and surprisingly stable "big ears," making it a versatile powerhouse for the upcoming XC season.

Nice to see, you're having fun out there with our new 2-liner and thanks for the feedback! To see all of the feedback texts of the pilots, you can visit our news section on the UP Website!

It’s safe to assume that we’ll be getting even more feedback soon, once the season really gets going and the remaining, eagerly awaited TORRE shipments arrive to pilots around the world. So please keep posting and sending feedback! We love seeing your photos and videos and hearing the best stories about your adventures with the TORRE - as well as, of course, with our other models. Mention and tag us on Instagram for a chance to have your post shared by us. Thank you!
