BGD Seed: Grow Your Skills on the Ground
The BGD Seed is BGD’s premier training wing, specifically engineered for ground-handling only. Developed from the geometry of the popular EN-B Epic, the Seed acts and reacts exactly like a full-size paraglider, making it the ultimate tool for practicing essential skills without the risks of being in the air. Whether you're a student learning the basics or a professional pilot refining high-wind kiting techniques, the Seed is the perfect companion for the training hill.
Realistic Training Features
- Realistic Feedback: Despite its small 14m² size, the Seed is designed to provide the same brake pressure and feedback as a standard wing, allowing you to practice stalls, deflations, and active piloting safely.
- Ultra-Durable Construction: Built to withstand the abuse of ground-handling, the Seed uses heavy-duty Dominico D30 42g/m² cloth for the top and bottom surfaces, ensuring it survives countless hours of kiting on various terrains.
- Shark Nose Technology: Featuring an ultra-aggressive shark nose, the Seed maintains internal pressure at various angles of attack, mirroring the stability of modern high-performance gliders.
- Chord Cut Billow (CCB): BGD’s signature CCB technology ensures a smooth leading edge and stable profile, giving the Seed a clean shape and predictable behavior in the wind.
- Manageable in Strong Winds: The compact 14m² area allows pilots to practice in wind speeds that would be too dangerous for a full-size wing, turning "blown-out" days into valuable training sessions.
- Snap Locks: Integrated magnetic Fidlock snap locks hold the brake handles securely to the risers, releasing easily only when pulled toward the pilot.
- Standard 3-Riser Setup: The Seed features a standard three-riser layout, ensuring the transition from the training wing to your flying wing is seamless and intuitive.
