Description
Little Cloud La Mouette: The Coastal Specialist
Pure Soaring. Unrivaled Precision. Maximum Fun.
The La Mouette (The Seagull) is Little Cloud’s dedicated tool for the soaring enthusiast. Built for pilots who live for coastal ridges and dunes, it offers a refined balance of speed and "park-ability" in higher winds. This isn't just a mini-wing; it’s a precision instrument designed to keep you in the air when others are grounded.
Sky Riders recognizes the La Mouette as an exceptional tool for developing advanced wing control. Its design prioritizes pitch stability and a wide speed range, allowing you to penetrate strong coastal breezes with total confidence.
Technical Innovations:
- Signature Reflex Profile: Provides massive collapse resistance and "on-rails" stability in turbulent air.
- Direct Handling: Extremely short line lengths provide an immediate, go-kart-like feel for precise carving on the ridge.
- Sand-Resistant Build: Features "dirt-out" ports on the wingtips and high-quality pulleys to ensure longevity in salty, sandy environments.
- Optimized Launch: Designed for effortless inflation, even in strong winds, reducing the risk of being "dragged" during launch.

Sky Riders Note
"The La Mouette is my go-to recommendation for pilots looking to master coastal soaring in the South West. Its stability in the 'blowy' stuff is remarkable. At Sky Riders, we use these gliders to bridge the gap between ground handling and high-wind soaring because they offer such predictable feedback. It’s a wing that makes you a better pilot every time you fly it." — Tom McMeakin, CFI & Senior Instructor
