G-chute manual: 5 

 

Dream 
In forming Gin Gliders, designer and competition pilot Gin Seok Song had one simple 
dream: to make the best possible paragliding equipment that pilots all over the world 
would love to fly—whatever their ambitions. 
    At Gin Gliders, we bring together consultant aerodynamicists, world cup pilots, 
engineers and paragliding school instructors, all with one goal: creating better paragliders. 
 
Touch 
We’re a “hands-on” company that puts continuous innovation and development at the 
centre of everything we do. 
    At our purpose-built R&D workshop at head office in Korea, we are able to design, 
manufacture, test-fly and modify prototypes all in a matter of hours. Our international R&D 
team is on hand both in Korea and at locations worldwide. This guarantees that your 
equipment has been thoroughly tested to cope with the toughest flying conditions.  
    Our own production facilities in East Asia ensure the quality of the finished product and 
also the well-being of our production staff. Our facilities are independently certified to 
AS9100C (Aerospace standard) and also to ISO 9001:2008. 
 
Believe 
We believe that the product should speak for itself. Only by flying can the pilot understand 
the wing and develop trust and confidence in it. From this feeling comes safety, comfort, 
performance and fun. The grin when you land should say it all!
