Great news for the 2008 comp!

The 2008 Ozone Caribbean XC Challenge will introduce a few changes that we know will be most welcome, as they are the outcome of what many of you suggested in 2007. First of all, we are staying at the Marriot in Santiago! The Courtyard Marriott is a world class hotel only 5 minutes from STI airport and 45 minutes from takeoff, with free Wi-Fi Internet, swimming pool and all the facilities to assure a pleasant stay. Non-flying accompanying family and friends will go on day-tours to many beautiful locations, enjoying Dominican natural reserves, cities and even the beach! Regarding the flying itself, you will be able to team up with your mates and compete for the team’s podium! These are the major changes we are bringing in so that you and your family enjoy a great flying holiday in the most relaxed XC paragliding competition.

The competition dates are Feb 17th - Feb 23rd 2008. Check the rest of the site for the details...

Registration opens on 15th September 2007. Stay tuned for more news on the upcoming weeks!

2008 Ozone Caribbean XC Challenge
Feb 17th - Feb 23rd

The Caribbean XC Challenge is quickly becoming a classic. After the great success of the 2006 and the 2007 events in the Dominican Republic, the people promoting our tropical paradise as a world-class paragliding destination, Caribbean Free Flying, are once again bringing you a unique opportunity to come and fly in awesome scenery with the perfect excuse: a paragliding XC competition aimed at cross country pilots, sponsored by Ozone Gliders.

Few rules and plenty of freedom... No tasks, no start windows, no goal lines... just you, your glider, the mountains and the gorgeous Caribbean sky!

It is an open format distance competition, allowing pilots to choose their route as they fly. Competitors arrive at takeoff, decide when to go, where to fly to and when to land. Pilots can also register in groups and collaborate day by day to bring their Team to the podium.
