The SEED from BGD is an affordable, single-purpose wing. Based on the EN-B EPIC, the SEED reacts and handles like a full-size paraglider. It's made of durable 50g fabric and has three risers. It's a fun tool for waiting for takeoff, practicing inflation, or just playing Spiderman.
Public for the BGD SEED
Grab a SEED and hone your technique! Inflation is never a waste of time, even for professionals. You can learn essential skills on the ground that directly translate to flying in the air. Collapses, stalls, brake pressure, and active piloting can all be practiced while safely playing on the ground with your SEED.
BGD SEED Designer's Notes
I designed the SEED to be as simple as possible, while retaining the latest and essential design techniques. A pronounced shark nose, the CCB, the 3D shaping of the lower panels and many other technical features make the SEED similar to a classic paraglider. I always say “Good pilots on the ground make good pilots in the air.” So the SEED was created to learn the essential skills with a wing small enough to be able to play safely even in strong winds.
