SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR LOUIS TAPPER REPRESENTING NZ AT THE PARAGLIDING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

Louis will represent New Zealand at the 16th FAI Paragliding World Championships in Macedonia, 5-18 August 2019 http://pgworlds2019.mk/. Competing at the top international level in paragliding doesn’t come cheap, and has very limited funding in NZ. So Louis’s achievements in the sport against well-funded nations, are even more impressive.

The valuable knowledge gained by Louis from active overseas competition in the last few years has been brought back to the NZ paragliding scene and shared through mentoring and competition debriefs. As an active committee member for the Southern Hang-Gliding and Paragliding Club, a competition organiser and an X-Alps supporter, he is committed to mentoring and developing other local NZ pilots.

Louis is a two time NZ Paragliding Champion and has set a number of NZ Paragliding records. He will compete in several competitions in the lead up to the World Championships. The three month focused training will help him to give it his best shot for NZ.

In the last year he has stepped up the level and can keep up with, and sometimes beat, the best in the world. See Louis after winning a Task in a recent competition in Spain:

Keeping up with well-funded international pilots is becoming increasingly difficult. Any contribution, big or small, is greatly appreciated. This helps to supply and maintain equipment, provide transport between the events and generally keep the focus on sport rather than finances.

For longer term sponsorship opportunities please contact Louis direct. This may include motivational/corporate talks, branding (wing, clothes and helmet) and video production.
