Travelling is our passion and exploring new places is the challenge we all love.
We created KEA 2 - a light, durable, safe, high-performance and versatile, light-weight glider - to become pilots’ perfect companion for travelling, Hike and Fly, Vol Bivouac and Vol et Ski. We made KEA 2 with a passion for details, precision and quality because we know that when you are on your own at take-off, or in the air, you need to trust your glider entirely.
Sometimes we Hike and Fly off the beaten track, sometimes we need to fit our gear into airline-size hand luggage, often - when flying Vol Bivouac - we need the glider to get us over a seemingly endless stretch of a forested area with no option to land. Which is why we designed - KEA 2; a light-weight, durable, safe, high-performance wing which is efficient in thermals, safe in rough air and a real pleasure to fly.
