The European Paragliding Championship 2016 in Krushevo, Macedonia has come to an end.
The event saw great conditions that allowed the pilots 9 days of racing! The Enzo 2 featured strongly in this competition taking the top ten and all the podium places.
In the end, our own Honorin Hamard of the OZONE R&D Team, current World Champion, and holder of 5 World records, took first overall. Hono continues his amazing and consistent path at the top of our sport. He now holds the European and the World Championship titles.

Thanks to OZONE for these beautiful …read more
