YOU'LL EVER NEED!
FUNWINGS CC has been in business since 1990. It specializes in supplying equipment for hang glider and paraglider pilots. This home page has been designed to inform the pilot of items which are available, and news and events coming up, not to mention information which we think is pertinent and important to know and remember. We strive to keep all pages updated, not an easy task. To give you as much information as possible, but keep the work to a minimum, we lead you to the manufacturer's home pages where possible, and do not give the prices of the items available (except on the Secondhand ads). Please contact us to obtain the latest prices.
Paragliding is an exciting sport and we are passionate about it. Please join us in the fun and excitement that is paragliding.
Apologies, not all the pages detailed below are available as yet.
The weather is very important to all pilots, but the forecast must never be taken too seriously! To forecast the weather is very difficult as it is an imperfect science, and everyone, including the Weather Bureau, can miscalculate what the weather is going to do - it will not be pigeonholed! In this section you will find Ulf's forecast and my take on the forecast from time to time (NOT daily!) for Dunnottar & Johannesburg area, and occasionally Vaal Dam and other areas. There are links to many different weather sites.
