I forgot to mention, the wing comes with a nice concertina bag by coccoon. I also have for sale my paragliding rucsack, a very large and good looking one by Windtech in beige and black, £35.

I'm selling my Gin Oasis as it is too large for me. It would ideally suit a heavier pilot confident with basic skills, and would also be good for paramotoring.

I bought this wing about 10 months ago after completing my CP and have flown about 15 hours on it. I am right at the bottom end of the weight range which makes it less easy in strong winds or lumpy skies, but this is a lovely flier for someone a bit heavier. Nice handling and good glide and going cheaply as there is a small professional mend (done by the loft about 6 months ago). This consists of about a 10 inch long patch against the seam of one panel on the underside. It does not affect the flying qualitlies or safety of the wing in any way.

This is the precursor to the Gin Zulu, and I have a very experienced friend who has flown both and says he thinks the Oasis is a better all round flyer.

Phone me on 07504 988230 with any questions or to have a look at the wing.

Cheers, Ed.
