FAQ

The SUPRA is our all-rounder — sporty, direct, forgiving. It's aimed at pilots with basic paragliding or kiting experience who want to experience dynamic flying close to the ground.

The SPIKE is our beginner parakite — forgiving handling, gentle reactions, for a safe and gentle start into parakiting without sacrificing the fun.

The SICARIO is our high-performer — more span, more glide, more speed, for pilots who want the max.

For absolute beginners, we always recommend starting with one of our groundhandling courses.

The SUPRA is a parakite with a reflex profile — meaning a more stable angle of attack at higher speeds, pronounced dive behavior, and a completely different steering concept. It's optimized for soaring, groundhandling, and touch & go, not for XC distance flying.

As a rule of thumb: SUPRA 17 for lighter pilots or strong-wind conditions, SUPRA 21 as the all-round size, SUPRA 25 for heavier pilots or light wind. We're happy to advise you personally — just write to us with your weight and flying experience.

The SUPRA comes standard in three colors: green, anthracite/petrol, and red — each with a white bottom surface, in all three sizes (17, 21, 25 m²). Custom colors are available for an extra charge.

When you release the brake lines on a parakite, the wing dives forward — it "dives." This converts altitude into speed and energy. When you pull the brakes again afterward, the flare energy unfolds. This interplay is characteristic of parakites and makes up a large part of their unique flight feel.

The MK FREESTYLE is our versatile main harness — rugged, with leg straps, a good pack size, and room for up to 2 reserve parachutes (depending on configuration). The SWAG is more compact and ideal for groundhandling as well as touch & go on the beach or dune together with a parakite.

Leg straps stop the harness from riding up during ground movements or dynamic maneuvers. That gives you direct contact with the wing at all times — during groundhandling on the ground just as much as in flight. It makes the handling more precise and safer.

Small fits heights of 155–170 cm, Medium 160–185 cm, Large 175–195 cm. Since the sizes overlap, we recommend also considering personal preference and body type at the boundaries. We're happy to help you choose.

You'll learn to handle the gear on the ground: inflating, controlling, steering, and feeling the wing without any flight risk. Groundhandling is the most effective way to develop a feel for your wing — and exactly what makes the difference once you're in the air.

No — that's why we have different courses. We generally distinguish between Beginner (for starting out with no prior experience), Experts (for experienced pilots looking to refine their groundhandling), and Special — a kind of "fly with friends" format that takes place exclusively in Denmark. You simply choose the course that matches your level.

In summer, we're at our home base in Nørre Lyngby near Løkken in Denmark — that's where most courses take place. On top of that, there are weekend courses on the Wasserkuppe, and more recently occasional special courses on the Halde Hoheward. We announce current dates and locations on request — just write to us at info@mkfs.at.
