AirDesign Wings
Founders: Stephan Stieglair and Martin Gostner. Two men, one goal. To create the gliders they always wanted to fly.
Stephan Stieglair discovered paragliding in 1988. Competing all over the globe, he became world champion in 1995. Being a test pilot since 1991, he started to design paragliders in 2000 and his friendship with Martin was determining to found their own brand.
Martin Gostner started paragliding in 1986 with his mom who was a paragliding instructor. In 1994 he left for a round-the-world-trip then moved to New Zealand when he began to practice 1001 jobs in the paragliding galaxy: sewing, teaching, testing, producing… he knows a lot!
Two guys. One garage. Tons of ideas. They had the knowledge, the know-how and above all the guts to do it. This is how it all began.
Their first wings arrived on the market: the Vita (EN-B) and the Pure (EN-D). One year later the SuSi (Super Simple) came. The young brand was growing… The range grew. Superlight versions came in. The philosophy was clear:
Performance but fun. Lightness but durability. No compromise.
