It's less than a week to go now before the first members of the 7 pilot NZ Hang Gliding Team head off to Italy to begin final preparations for the 22nd World Hang Gliding Championships, 13-26 July 2019.
The selected New Zealand Team consists of:
Viv Clements - Team Captain
John Smith
Shane McKay
Derek Mckee
Tom Kelner
Piers Throssel
Matt Barlow
We feel incredibly honored to be representing our Country and are looking forward to the challenge of flying with and against the Worlds best. Our goal is to achieve a top 5-10 finish in both the Individual and Team categories. However to do this will be no small feat given the calibre of the field including four time World champion Manfred Ruhmer, two time World Champion Alex Ploner, and one time World Champions Christian Ciech and Attila Bertok just to name a few!
