Description

The Gin Griffin is a fast, dynamic mini wing for ridge soaring, speed flying, and anyone who wants to experience the raw thrill of flying a small, responsive wing. It’s bold, it’s playful, and it’s an absolute blast in the right conditions.

The Griffin is designed for experienced pilots who understand the dynamics of small wings and want to push their flying into new territory. The handling is immediate and precise, the speed is exhilarating, and the overall character is one of pure, undiluted flying fun. It’s the wing that makes every ridge session feel like an adventure.

Despite its small size and playful character, the Griffin benefits from Gin’s decades of wing design expertise. The construction is robust, the behaviour is predictable, and the performance envelope is well-defined. It’s a wing that rewards skill and experience with an unforgettable flying experience.
