The MANILLA XC CAMP 2015 is a FREE event for XC pilots of all levels

The registration for the 8th Pico Do Gavião International Cup 2013 is just open now.
The event will be held from 29 September to 05 October 2013, with headquarters in the town of Aguas da Prata, relying once again on the support of the Sports Incentive Law of the state of São Paulo, which gives you free of charge participation without entry fee!
The competition will be in the form of Open Cross Country along a pre-defined axis, following few turnpoint (only 1 or 2) with large radius. This has the reason to keep everyone close to the axis of the chosen task and will provide greater safety and make retrieve more efficient. We will not have a race start, but a time window for pilots to take off whenever they think it is the right time for a safe takeoff and a flight of many kilometers. Link to the registration website http://cbxcgaviao2013.pgcomps.com.br
Your registration will be confirmed with the payment of the hotel room of one of the hotels selected by the organization.

The competition dates are 07-13 July 2013. As always in the XC-Open competitions organized by team WIND in Portugal, there is excellent service and FLYMASTER LIve Tracking  included in the entry fee. Transport from and to the local airport Porto OPO to Celorico da Beira, transport to launch, pick up from the place where the pilot has landed, prize giving ceremony, daily lunch packages and weather and task briefings as well as other things are included. The entry fee is low, only 70 Euros for young pilots below the age of 28 years and for pilots from Portugal, all other pilots pay 90 Euros. There is no chance that you can fly XC organized by yourself for less money. Read all details about the XC-Open in Portugal here...

CIVL / FAI has  decided in their 2013 plenary in Lausanne to follow the proposal from Poland to create a new FAI paragliding discipline and a new World Championship for Cross Country Open Distance. There will be a separate World Ranking List - WPRS for Cross Country Open Distance competitions. 8.4 times as many pilots are present in Online Contests and fly Cross Country compared to pilots who fly in traditional Race to Goal competitions.
Read the presentation of the full proposal. It is on the FAI website as well.
