THE MOST POWERFUL HYBRID SINGLE SKIN - EXCEPTIONAL IN PERFORMANCE AND HANDLING
The Sir Edmund Shark is Skyman's most powerful single skin.
Its new concept as a hybrid single skin with 20% double sail opens up new ways to make it a fully-fledged paraglider for more than just hike and fly! The Shark is perfect for thermalling and short cross-country flights:
In turbulent air and when thermaling, the partial double sail shows its strengths and gives the Shark the appearance of a normal paraglider compared to common singles skins. The Shark takes thermals very sensitive and can be turned in a very flat way!
The tube, ventilated by a Sharknose, allows the Sir Edmund Shark to glide very efficiently and powerful against the wind, both accelerated and unaccelerated - an amazing advantage when crossing valleys and on cross country tracks.
The Landing Boost System (LBS) increases the angle of attack of the entire canopy during the landing phase from 50% brake line position. This makes the Sir Edmund Shark very easy to flare and to land, just like a normal paraglider.
The Sir Edmund Shark is the perfect paraglider that combines the best of different worlds:
- Easiest, single skin typical take-off behaviour
- Handling and thermal characteristics that make a flight of several hours a pleasure
- Very low weight and pack size
- High performance potential for cross country flights
- Enormous passive safety
- Simple landing characteristics due to LBS
