Thomas Walder flew a 325.76km FAI triangle on Saturday 7 June
smashing the triangle world record and becoming the first paraglider pilot to
break the 300km triangle mark. Tom spent 11.5 hours in the air and flew his Ozone Enzo to a maximum altitude of
3,834m. His route took him from launch in Austrias Zillertal Valley out towards the
Stubai Alps close to the border with Italy. He then flew back on himself and continued across the Alps to his second
turnpoint, just across the German/Austrian border on the Geigelstein. His third
turnpoint was south east near Badgastein. http://www.xcontest.org/world/en/flights/detail:Flughund/7.6.2014/07:09
