Tim was A+ to deal with. I called him for stock availability and he went above and beyond by helping me work through (multiple times) what harness solution would suit me best. Excellent knowledge about the sport, its sub-disciplines and the equipment. Thanks again!
Excellent experience dealing with Tim at Paragliding Shop! He was extremely friendly, responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the whole process. Great customer service and a genuinely pleasant buying experience. Highly recommended!
Tim was awesome to deal with and got me an amazing deal on a new Ozone glider. Great communication, support and service. Beautiful wing, took me straight to base. Stoked.
Fast, reliable, friendly, supportive, even spent hours with me on site teaching me to fly. Ongoing support even a year after purchase.
Just bought some gear here. They gave some good advice on the phone and it was dispatched within the hour!
Awesome customer service, I ordered a glider and Tim provided me with consistent updates on the delayed delivery time.
Excellent products and service. They went above and beyond helping me with every step. Bought Flare Moustache and absolutely love flying it!!
Great service - right time right price for me, prompt ordering and delivery. Looking forward to new adventures on my new wing - thanks Tim!
Very happy with the paragliding shop. Great customer service with a nice price point. My Zero 3 is an absolute weapon. Ozone is the bomb.
Has the best customer service in Australia and sells the best paragliding brands for sure!

The new Rapido 3X (R3X) is an uncompromising speedwing created for intermediate-to-advanced level pilots seeking high performance and low pack-weight.
It is an evolution of the Rapido 3, with increased roll sensitivity, reduced weight, and more precise riser controls. The significantly shorter line length and wider piloting stance serve speedriders as well as foot-launch pilots seeking a more capable wing for both summer and winter flying.
It is available in five sizes: 5.9m / 6.5m / 8m / 9m & 11m
The new Rapido 3X (R3X) is an uncompromising speedwing created for intermediate-to-advanced level pilots seeking high performance and low pack-weight.

The significantly shorter line length and wider piloting stance serve speedriders as well as foot-launch pilots seeking a more capable wing for both summer and winter flying.
Materials & Design
The R3X combines ultralight Skytex 27g fabric with lightweight risers and soft-link attachments to maximize glider sensitivity and reduce sail inertia. New toggles with optional ball-grabs improve comfort and brake precision, and a redesigned B/C bridge provides frictionless trim manipulation and enhanced riser-piloting accuracy.
Hike & Fly
The R3X is noticeably lighter, with a lower pack volume for long ascents. No-wind inflations are immediate and simple, and widened pulley attachments allow a more natural running stance when navigating technical launches.
On Snow
The R3X’s significantly shortened line-set facilitates sharp, precise speedriding turns and the reduced sail inertia makes for a more responsive canopy. These improvements have led to the best connection between wing and skis that we have ever experienced. The wide piloting stance is ideal for active skiing, and the addition of ball-grabs to the redesigned toggles allow for comfortable piloting, even in winter gloves.
The Pilot
The R3X is recommended for pilots with intermediate-to-advanced-level prior Speedflying experience. Its weight-shift sensitivity, light risers & sail, and accelerated inflation characteristics are all designed with experienced speedflyers in mind. Speedriders should consider the R3X after a minimum of 2 seasons of experience. The R3X provides optimal ski-performance with trims released by ⅓ or more, so pilots should be comfortable maintaining snow contact at higher speeds prior to speedriding this sensitive wing.
