Sylvain Nobile

france

Sylvain started paragliding with mini-wings, being mainly interested in hike & fly and soaring. But then he became more and more attracted by XC flying, so he started flying with a 'regular' glider in May 2015. It was a BGD Base and he felt in love with it! Sylvain said it was a pleasure improving his skills with this glider, discovering XC and flying more and more over the following years. He enjoys cross-country flying, and hike-and-fly. He took part in his first hike & fly competition in 2018, the 'Trotte & Vol' and came third. He also loves to share his passion for flying with tandem flights, and loves going XC with friends on the tandem.
