Blue Sky Paragliding profile

Blue Sky Paragliding Ltd. was born in 2001 and was the Paragliding company in Nepal.

The friendship of Narayang Parajulie, one of the first Nepaly pilot, and David Arrufat, a swiss pilot famous for its accro level (discovers the Rhythmic SAT in 2002) brought up the will to offer paragliding tandem and courses in Nepal.

After many adventures, Blue Sky Paragliding is now a well established company. The staff is composed by 25 peoples and a team of around 7 to 10 pilots.

Swiss pilots: David Arrufat, Hervé Cerutti
Nepaly pilot: Damodar Parajulie
Scotish pilot: Miss Zabdi Keen
Brazilian pilot: Miss Vildes
French pilots: David, Armand, Yannick
Bulgarian pilot: Cristo
Russian pilot: Victor

The aim of Blue Sky Paragliding is off course to fly but also strongly wish to develop paragliding in Nepal. We have discovered most of the paragliding sites of Nepal and are fighting to bring up a air sports association to establish similar flying standards as in Europe or Switzerland.

David Arrufat
Blue Sky Paragliding owner

Specialised in SIV and accro courses

 

David Arrufat is an OFAC swiss instructor (licence N35504 French ,FAI). He does accro competitions since 2001.
- 5th at the Redbull vertigo 2002
- 4th at the RedBull vertigo 2003
- 2nd in syncro competition OMEGNA  2003, with Hervé Cerutti
- 6th in Mondial rath in 2004

David invented the "rhythmic SAT" in 2004, which is now a required component of accro competition. He was the first pilot to excute 6 consecutives tumblings, during the RedBull Vertigo in 2001.

In 2002 I discovered a much more dynamic and cleaner variation of the "Mac Twist", which we now call the "Misty Flip". But it was Swiss pilot David Arufat who amazed everyone at Vertigo that year when, during his sequence, he hit the brakes earlier than normal whilst entering a SAT and discovered the "Rhythmic SAT", which instantly became the top manoeuvre and the one everyone wanted to master.         Raoul Rodriguez
