The Bolero 8 from GIN is a new-generation "school" paragliding wing, completely redesigned in both its profile and internal structure to offer a smoother and more intuitive learning experience. Its great homogeneity and excellent pitch stability provide a high level of confidence from the very first flights. Ideal for progressing paragliders, it promotes rapid skill development while maintaining maximum comfort and safety.

The Bolero 8 represents a new generation of training wings and beyond, with a design that has been thoroughly reworked — both in its airfoil geometry and internal structure — to simplify and secure every stage of learning and progression.
It stands out for its particularly balanced behavior and excellent pitch stability. Its thermal performance allows beginner pilots to progress quickly, moving from their first high flights to longer and more committed sessions with greater confidence.
Designed to remain forgiving and consistent in its reactions, while maintaining its own distinct character, the Bolero 8 is a true training wing that promotes steady progression and naturally builds pilot confidence.
Thanks to a fully redesigned profile and an optimized internal structure, the Bolero 8 delivers a more homogeneous and consistent flight behavior.
Pitch and roll movements are better controlled across the entire wingspan, while resistance to collapses has been reinforced.
Even in turbulent air, the wing remains calm and provides students with a stable and reassuring platform to progress with confidence.
Although designed as a school wing, the Bolero 8 stands out for its aerodynamic efficiency. Its brake travel is generous and progressive, with a clearly identifiable stall point, a valuable asset for first flights. It nevertheless offers sufficient glide performance and climb capability to consider longer flights and your first outings beyond the training site.
In summary: perfect for learning, and still relevant as your level progresses.
Thanks to a new EPT system and an optimized rod configuration, the leading edge and the nose maintain a stable shape regardless of the angle of attack.
Inflation is therefore clean and progressive, with a paragliding wing that naturally positions itself above the pilot without overshooting or accelerating abruptly. Movements remain predictable, turning take-off into a reliable and repeatable action every time.
The stability of the Bolero 8 combined with a redesigned arc provides handling that is both playful, forgiving and efficient, even in light conditions.
Brake pressure has been optimized and brake travel increased, allowing students to safely identify the approach to stall and better feel thermal cores and lift.
With a wider certified weight range, the Bolero 8 can suit a greater number of pilots in each size. This flexibility makes school organization easier and allows the same wing size to be used for different students, without compromising flight behavior or safety.
Available in four colors: green, sangria, lime and turquoise, this paraglider also allows each pilot to choose an aesthetic that suits them, while maintaining the same performance and reliability.
The Bolero 8 from GIN is прежде всего a training wing, perfectly suited for learning and progression within a school environment. It also performs very well for recreational flying, offering comfort and safety to fly with confidence after training.
It remains suitable for occasional hike & fly, but it is not designed for committed cross-country flying, and even less for competition. It is a wing designed to learn, progress and enjoy flying with full confidence.

"The Bolero 8 is the kind of wing that, right from inflation, feels very accessible for a beginner pilot. I really appreciated its new architecture: the leading edge remains clean, uniform and easy to inflate. During inflation, the wing rises smoothly and evenly, with no tendency to overshoot.
Once in the air, you find a stable, balanced wing, slightly calmer than the Bolero 7, which tended to be lively in the upper half of the weight range. Gin has managed to correct this, making the wing’s behavior truly enjoyable, regardless of the weight range at which you fly it. The brake travel is long and progressive, with clear feedback. And of course, as always, Gin’s DNA is clearly present, with truly precise handling.
On landing, the final flare is effective, and the round-out is perfect. I was able to test several landings — tailwind, headwind, with or without gradient — but each time I found a brake input that allowed me to land smoothly. The Bolero 8 remains gentle and forgiving, with brake responses that are predictable and allow you to round out even a slightly weak final approach.
In short, for me, the Bolero 8 combines easy handling with a reassuring in-flight behavior and enough performance to support a student beyond school flights."
