If you're considering buying a Paragliding wing on ebay, there are a few things that you need to consider.

First, is the age of the wing. This can be found on the label that is attached to the wing. It will state when it was made. I've noticed a lot of listings that doesn't disclose the age but rather will say something like, "only 30 hours flying time" or "used for kiting only".

It's important that you write the seller and ask the year on the label. If they say there isn't one or that it is a new old stock -Don't buy! Any wing or harness that is a pastel color was probably made in the early 90s. A rule of thumb is not to buy anything earlier than '99.

Second, You don't want to be flying with a worn out wing with un-predictable characteristics.

You'll end up wasting your money on something that's not even worth kiting not to mention possibly getting seriously injured.

So take the time to always write the seller to get the year of the wing because, paragliding is a great sport to get into and you want to make it safe for yourself as much as possible.

Enjoy your flights!!
