Henrik Theron record

Tuesday, 30 August 2011

South-African pilot Henrik Theron just claimed for verification his new world record: 207.8 km as "distance over a closed circuit without landing" on Dudek Nucleon 34. We are very happy and congratulate the pilot!

The record flight took place in Pretoria (RSA). Thermal activity was considerable, but everything went smooth. Apart from our paraglider Henrik used Nirvana Comfort Line Instinct paramotor, on a Cruise Carbon trike of the same company. Former record called for 176.35 km and it took two years to beat it.
