Naviter pilot Jost Napret explains how he, Primoz Susa, Bojan Gabersek and Dusan Oroz set a 300km out-and-return paragliding world record on 21 April 2018 flying from Sorica in Slovenia. He explains it was a perfect early spring day, with lots of snow still on the mountains, and shows how they flew along the length of the eastern Alps in a flight that lasted nearly 10 hours. Recorded as part of a Cross Country Magazine Masterclass in December 2021.
