We're Expanding - Instinct West!

We are happy to announce that Instinct Windsports is partnering up with my long-time flying buddy Tyler Borradaile to represent us in Western Canada to promote, sell and service Moyes line of world champion hang gliders, harnesses and accessories. Tyler recently switched to flying Moyes Litespeed RX glider this January while he attended the Forbes Flatlands competition in Australia.  Due to the big air and high level of competitors it brings, this event is considered the biggest competition in the World outside of the World Championships.  On Tyler's first ever task on the Litespeed RX, he placed first on that...

New Selfie Camera Mounts for 2015

New Selfie Camera Mounts for 2015

With over 100 sold world-wide and to fuel our ever-growing desire for Selfies, we thought we'd improve them for 2015! Instinct Hang Gliding Selfie Camera Boom http://instinct.pro/Selfie https://www.facebook.com/InstinctSelfie A must watch video: https://vimeo.com/58137468#t=187s First off, we designed separate mounts for Carbon basetubes. They fit super tight and can be left on your basetube between flights. Our boom screws in to the base and can be panned at will during flight. The new design minimizes camera bounce. Wolfi and Jonas are the first to use these on their Rhythm of Flight project (http://www.rhythmofflight.com/) Secondly, we just finished a new, two-piece basetube...
