Description
The Wave Leading Edge comes to the lightweight sports class
The Camino 2 introduces our Wave Leading Edge technology to pilots of lightweight sports class 2 liners. Inspired by the tubercles of the humpback whale, the technology has been realised in paragliders through the “GIN LAB”, a wind tunnel project run by Gin Gliders in collaboration with Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology in South Korea. By delaying the separation point, the technology increases the performance at high angles of attack, giving a better sink rate at low speeds along with a more delayed and progressive stall.
Superior inflation and take-off
Thanks to its characteristic profile and light construction, the Camino 2 is simple to inflate on take-off and comes up above the head with no shooting in all wind conditions. It can be held comfortably above the head even in just a breath of wind, giving you an advantage on tricky take-offs.
Climbing like never before
The combination of the airfoil and light construction makes the Camino 2 an informative yet well-balanced glider that gives you climbing superpowers! It has a compact feel and the Wave Leading Edge facilitates low speed performance and control, helping you manoeuvre smoothly into the best lift, every time.
An exquisite feeling
The coherent information through the brakes and the canopy helps not only with thermalling but also with feeling out those lifty lines. With true 2 liner rear riser control, you can let the wing fly with just gentle guiding.
Effortless gliding
The inherent pitch stability of the airfoil and reduced inertia of the light fabric means efficient gliding on bar, leaving you free to concentrate on finding the next thermal. The wing quickly accelerates and the travel is relatively long, giving a high maximum speed. The leading edge remains clean when accelerated thanks to the panel shaping and also short strings in the middle of each cell.
Light and compact
Small diameter Nitinol rods maintain the profile shape in the air and combined with lightweight materials and construction, enable a very compact folding and packing. The Camino 2 can be packed with our compress bag and Genie x-lite cocoon harness into our 80L x-lite rucksack giving a total pack weight of around 10kg.
