International twin acro stars Anthony and Tim Green, have just smashed the tandem paramotor world record (5088m) in Chamonix this afternoon!

Rock the Outdoor will be speaking shortly to the brothers about how the day panned out.  In the meantime, the tracklog and official data is no doubt being sent to the FAI for ratification as you read.  The local press in Chamonix are all eager for a story and gather for interviews and photographs of the brothers!

Huge congratulations to Tim and Anthony for their new world record.

NIVIUK Artik P – The “Adventurer”

Niviuk introduce the “P Series”; “P” being the optimum letter in the case of “plume” or lightweight/featherweight paragliders. With an introduction into this category earlier this year with the Skin Plume, now the Artik Plume, both gliders incorporating lighter versions of the standard risers, fabric and line layout.

[reveal title="Read more" open="false" color="grey-lite"]Nivuk’s latest edition, the Artik P, draws on all the legendary characteristics of the original Artik design, and isnow available in a lightweight version that incorporates the best of all the hike and fly elements pilots in this category are seeking, in order to get a taste of adventure without the compromise on weight. Niviuk claims its easy handling characteristics make this glider an absolute dream, compliant in nil-wind launches and incorporating the passive safety element, the Artik P is as ready to be discovered as the pilot who is looking to fly it.

Available in four sizes and two colour schemes: 21, 23, 25 and 27 Navy and Lichi
