Our Story
25 Years. From Then to Now.
What drives us today began 25 years ago. With an idea, a great deal of passion, and the courage to do things differently.
Where It All Begann
In the early 2000s, paragliding was still a complex sport for many people, often difficult to access and shaped by established conventions. A small group of engineers, marketing experts, and passionate athletes set out to change that. Their goal was to develop products that were easier to fly, safer to use, and more accessible to a wider range of pilots. What brought them together was not only technical expertise, but above all a shared passion for flight itself. Choosing this path was anything but obvious. Secure careers were left behind, familiar routes abandoned. In their place, something new began to take shape, driven by conviction, curiosity, and the determination to do things better. From the beginning, the ambition went beyond building products. It was about helping to move the sport forward, challenging conventions, and creating new possibilities for the future.
Growth and New Horizons
The early years were defined by intensive development, countless ideas, and close collaboration with pilots and the wider community. Products were not developed behind a desk alone, but tested in real-world conditions, challenged, refined, and continuously improved. From the very beginning, one principle became clear and remains true today: progress happens when experience, feedback, and passion come together. Over time, what started as a small idea grew into a company that thinks beyond a single discipline. With skywalk Paragliders, everything began in the air. FLYSURFER expanded the possibilities onto the water and across land. Today, FLARE is opening up new ways to experience flight and explore the sport from a different perspective. Each brand has its own focus and identity, yet all are connected by a shared mindset and a continuous exchange of ideas.
Today
The story of the Skywalk Group is more than a timeline of events. It is the foundation of who we are today.
The courage to take a different path.
Close to the sport. Slose to the people.
Always striving to improve.
This mindset has grown over the years and continues to shape the way we think and act today.
Today, more than 75 people are working to develop products and ideas that are used around the world. The company has grown, and so have the opportunities. Yet many things remain unchanged: the curiosity, the commitment to quality, and the passion for that unique moment when wind becomes movement.
Our story is far from finished. It continues to evolve with every product, every idea, and every person who becomes part of it. What drives us today is the same belief that inspired us from the very beginning: to challenge convention, explore new paths, and keep pushing the sport forward.
