 My name is...

Angela Dachs

I've been flying since...

2003.

 Paragliding means for me...

a lot - a wonderful hobby, to be free in and with nature, great for switching off.

My favorite flying area is...

the Hausstein in the Bavarian Forest.

My most beautiful flying moments/highlights were...

taking off for the very first time, over-elevating the terrain for the very first time in the Alps, circling in a cloud with the birds. And also my longest flight: 245 km free route from Hausstein to just before Würzburg.

My personal greatest successes are...

1st place, 2nd place and 4 x 3rd place in the women's ranking of the DHV-XC and 1st place in the women's ranking of the German cross-country championship in Piedrahita in 2008.

I fly UP paragliders because...

I feel very comfortable with it; because the performance, handling and safety simply match.

Currently, the models I fly...

Summit XC 4.

What I particularly like about the glider is...

the great handling! It shows you exactly where the beard is, it looks great, I feel very safe with the Summit and it performs very well for its class!
