Shownotes
I got Théo's contact after the intro of the Podcast with Stan Keusch, where I got to fly a tandem paraglider for the first time. Théo is the man behind Flysurfers POW and their double skin ZAP and we talked about the development and the process of making a parawing. Thanks to Jens of the Foilsessions App for supporting the show.
